When looking at coping with change it is not possible to ignore some of the events which change our development, life events which cause significant change are called transitions (Jeffery, J in Aldridge, S & Rigby, S 2004). If these transitions are not prepared for, they can cause emotional difficulties or even physical illness. Counselling skills can be very effective at this stage as the helper needs to work out how to make the adjustment to these changes more satisfactory for the client, to lower the emotional distress. The counsellor has to first establish what kind of transition the client may be going through; Scholssberg (1989) in Aldridge, S & Rigby, S (2004) identified 4 different kinds of transitions: Anticipated, Unanticipated, Non-event transitions and chronic hassle transitions. Unanticipated transitions are unplanned and can be projected as a crisis; this was personally experienced when my parents got divorced.
However, there were a few individuals who disagreed with the idea of physical punishment and promoted a more nurturing approach. In today’s research it has come to be believed that physical punishment, even its smallest forms, can have harmful and negative effects. Today spanking is becoming more a thing of the past and time-outs or other e, such as reasoning with a child, are becoming the major parenting practice. In the past many individuals believed that you could not reason with children because they lacked the mental capacity. Physical punishment was the only way to get your point across.
Inductions differ in style and manner. They can be authoritative ('You are becoming more and more relaxed and you will feel yourself...;, or 'I want you to imagine yourself...') or they can be more permissive (Perhaps you would like to...' or 'You may find that...'). Such differences are likely to be shown equally in the tone of voice, style of delivery, and so on. Each practitioner will find or choose a style that he finds congenial and suits the particular patient of the moment. - Hypnotherapy A practical Handbook Hellmut W.A.
Coming of Age Coming of Age Tiffany Baker Psychology 101 Teacher: Jennifer Fitch By Tiffany Baker Psychology 101 Teacher: Jennifer Fitch By Abstract Coming of Age can be tough especially entering the adult world! Sometimes growing up you don’t realize how easy you have it as a kid. As you grow up you go through obstacles that “mold” and “shape” you into the person you become. I can’t say that I would want to be a kid again but there are somethings I would like to change about my past. Things happen in your life for a reason, some good and some bad.

Using modality is one way we have to personalise screeds although it is beneficial to use all the senses when trying to create a safe and comfortable space for a client. Modalities play a big part in personalising inductions as assessing the client as an individual helps decide which style will best suit that person. As you begin the process of learning how to hypnotise, you’ll begin to understand that there are two basic styles of hypnotic induction, and these are the Permissive style and the Authoritative style. The permissive style is the more usual style in therapeutic situations where the client needs to feel like they are in control of the situation before they can begin to relax. Attending a hypnosis session for the first time can be a scary thing because of all the mythology that a person probably has about hypnosis.
Psychotherapeutic Theories and Models (CPc1) Assignment 2 Paul Carey Student No: 1241-13 Abstract In this assignment I will explore the theories of Existentialism and Narrative therapy, giving an overview of the main elements, including examples of potential weaknesses or limitations that may occur in their clinical use. I will then discuss and explore the ways the theories links with the case study of John, using examples from Johns presenting story to explore a clinical application. Theoretical discussion Existentialism is a philosophical approach to therapy (Corey, 2009a), where the therapist practically applies this approach to a relevant discussion and thinking about a client’s life (Van Deurzen & Adams, 2011). It is not so much a therapy about individual problems, as it is a therapy on the problem of life, or living, as applied to the clients own sense of self in the world (Van Deurzen & Adams, 2011). Philosophers who laid the foundation for the approach gave focus to the existential or ontological dimension of our existence (Cohn, 1997).
According to Sigmund Freud our personality develops as a result of passing through various stages of development during childhood and adolescence. If we are able to complete successfully one stage we easily enter another, which is what Freud would call a healthy development. If on the other hand we encounter difficulties we get stuck in one of the stages and are not able to progress to the next developmental stage and this can last well into adulthood. Such person might develop mental health problems later in life and it was Freud’s belief that these can be traced to problems encountered in various psychosexual stages of development. While this can certainly be helpful to a therapist working with a client it cannot be taken for granted as there could be other explanations for the client experiencing problems which I would like to develop further.
Betty Johnson Mrs. Baker English 1101 29 May 2012 Childhood’s Missing Benefit: Downtime Childhood years are only a small part of a person’s life. During this time according to Anna Quindlen “is the time where we become ourselves” (151). Downtime, however, is often left out of the average American child’s life. A child can benefit from downtime by developing creative moments, fostering family relationships, and experiencing the joys of childhood. Downtime can be beneficial for creative moments.
Erikson introduced the idea of a psychosocial moratorium which is a temporary suspension of activity. During this time, adolescents try out different roles in order to decide which suits them best. This role sampling and resolution of role confusion leads to the establishment of the adult identity. The reason that it is so important to form an identity is that it enables the individual to cope well with the demands of life and to form adult relationships. If this crisis is not resolved then a lack of identity (or role confusion) results which can lead to four kinds of behaviour.
