The use of questions and discussions is thought to be advantageous within sessions for a variety of reasons, which shall be explored throughout this essay, so too, shall the challenges and limitations that counselling can pose if not used correctly. Fear and sadness are emotions that the human race has experienced for centuries. This can affect individuals from all walks of life including celebrities Robin Williams, Trisha Goddard and Stephen fry. All these individuals have experienced anxiety and depression which has been proven to be linked to fear and sadness. Over the years there have been various approaches to counselling which includes the main areas that I shall be focusing upon in this paper are, existential and mindfulness approaches.
My experiences have been horrifying. People who endure dissonance always seem to come out shaped or changed by their experiences. The consequences the individuals face from encountering conflict forever transform their thoughts, beliefs and their lives. Quite often the noticeable physical damage an individual has been through can conceal the emotional trauma they are suffering. The physical injury gives survivors something to hide behind.
Even when an athlete returns from an injury they can still be affected by it and play more tentatively on the field or court because of fear of re-injury (Brehm, 2008). The psychological effects of sports injuries all depend on how the athlete copes with the injury. Epidemiological reports of sports injury confirm a high incidence of injuries occurring at all levels of sport participation, ranging in severity from cuts and bruises to spinal cord injury. The psychosocial dynamics accompanying sport injury should be known to ensure psychological recovery, an important aspect in rehabilitating the injured athlete. Earlier studies demonstrating psychological differences between athletes and non-athletes indicated the need for actual research on the athlete's post injury response in lieu of accepting the hypothesis that the emotional responses of athletes to injury parallels
It is accepted that a trigger is required for psoriasis to develop and this can be a throat infection, injury to the skin, certain drugs and, importantly, stress of some kind. Research has found that very often there is a significant emotional factor in the triggering of psoriasis, which is why hypnosis has proven so helpful in many cases. Psoriasis can have a negative impact on one’s quality of life, interfering with many different areas. Sleeping may also be a problem. Many people with psoriasis tend to persist with a poor self-image, always thinking negative thoughts about themselves and feeling they “deserve it”.
Fibromyalgia is often present when an individual has low levels of this specific neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. The body tries to cope with pain to the best of its abilities, however the pain threshold is lowered considerably and pain seems to be intensified. This condition is also strongly associated with Raynaud syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, mood and anxiety disorders, and regional pain syndromes. (Huether, 2012). With a combination of preexisting factors such as imbalances in hormones and neurotransmitters, and also any trauma or pain inducing syndromes fibromyalgia is a risk for any

Introduction: Pain is one of the most common and distressing symptoms described by patients with life-limiting illnesses (Ferrell and Coyle, 2008). However, it is not purely a physical experience but involves various other components of human functioning, including personality, mood, behaviour, and social relations (Bruera and Portenoy, 2003). In an attempt to describe the all-encompassing nature of pain within a “wholeperson” framework, Dame Cicely Saunders coined the concept of “total pain” (Saunders, 1978). She suggested that pain has physical, psychological, social, emotional, and spiritual components that make up the “total pain” experience. Yet the contribution of each component will be specific to each individual and his or her situation.
This made me do more research about knee replacements and familiarize myself with such a case. Andrea describes the operation as seeming to be “barbaric”. In my opinion serious surgeries cause a lot of pain and will need loads of painkillers, theses strong painkillers do lead to hallucinations. Her experience that she shares during her physical and occupational rehabilitation and her recovery, which is very descriptive throughout including the tasks that she had to complete to be able to go back to her normal life style. In the article she is worried that when she goes back her caregiver isn’t expected to be upon returning home.
Hypertension and stress go hand in hand; stress has a direct effect on hypertension. Stress is the body’s reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional response. Most people give difference answers to what stress really is because it affects their body’s differently. What is stressful for one person may be pleasurable or have little effect on them and we all react to stress differently.
Similarly, Rustin comments on the impact of the mental pain on those working with Victoria Climbié. She talks about the defences which individuals use to defend against witnessing emotional pain and suffering in others (Rustin, 2005). Her arguments apply equally well to the whole area of communication and the way in which defences and irrational behaviour can interfere with the ability to communicate openly and transparently. This interest in communication is also being developed in other professions. The concept of emotional
