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.
This makes it different from traditional approaches in assessment and individual planning. Person Centred Planning is a way to help people think what they want/need out of life and plan how to do it. The person is the ‘key’ to the planning process. The planning process helps to get others who care about the individual to help in the planning and doing. Person Centred Planning is based on an explicit set of beliefs and values concerning people with disabilities, services and communities.
Concept of helping clients during the case management process The concept of helping clients during the case management process will reduce recidivism, enhance public safety, and promote success. The case management concept is complex because different components may happen at different times during the treatment process. Each individual is unique and different, so therefore, the treatment has to be different. Freeman (2001) stated, “The traditional case management plan calls for reduction of problematic symptoms by a certain percentage” (p. 77). Case managers are professionals who provide treatment and services to clients so they can live productive in society.
Surprisingly” Authentic Experiences With so much emphasis on being honest to others, what ever happened to being true to ourselves? Everyday hustle and bustle leads to the lack of self-reflection from experiences. People miss what an incident truly means and ultimately obscure their view of themselves. Dolly Parton once said “find out who you are and do it on purpose.” Exactly how is one supposed to do that? Since experiences are what ultimately shape an individual, reflecting upon those personal experiences lead to self discovery.
The way that we think can make a situation appear negative or positive. As stated by Spoors et al two people in exactly the same situation can view the same situation entirely different depending on whether they have a positive optimistic outlook on life or a negative pessimistic outlook. Cognitive Therapy, a form of therapy which aims to replace negative or distorted thought with more positive and rational ones, by developing strategies to actively promote more positive thinking has proved to be effective in many cases of depression and anxiety. By replacing negative thoughts with more positive thoughts encourages more positivity and can often assist in reversing a downward spiral of negative thinking and result in a more positive and pleasant outcome. In a study conducted by Martin Seligman cited by Spoors et al, Seligman found that happiness levels increased in participants in the study when they were encouraged to focus on more positive things that had happened in their past, and to reflect on their own personal strengths and to write a daily list of things that had gone well and the reasons why.

Running head: REACTION PAPER Reaction Paper Understanding Coping in Context Caroline Lambert, A.S., B.S. California State University, Los Angeles The role of risk and protective processes in individual outcome is very interesting to me as it breaks down the multiple aspects of the individuals’ world which shape their ability to cope with stress, resulting in either a positive or negative outcome. What is so interesting about these processes was that they exist at multiple ecological levels, each influencing the other. These include individual characteristics, interpersonal relationships, community resources, and macrosystem resources. Therefore, an individual with many protective factors such as optimism, multiple healthy relationships among family and friends to whom they can reach out to for help, and active involvement in the community, is more likely to be able to handle macrosystem stressors such as having no healthcare.
