Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (EBT)

David Foster Wallace argues that reality can be mundane. However, if people focus on what others are going through, then they can learn to empathize and understand humanity better. A behavior is a snap shot of how that person is acting in that moment. There are lots of moments where behaviors may not accurately describe someone. If people are constantly operating unconsciously and only ever taking what they see face value then they are not relating or understanding others; even more what they are thinking about other’s is stereotypical and possibly hurtful.

The disadvantages of using this REBT approach is that a serious problem can arise when the child gets upset with the behavior of important adult figures in their life (as they most often do), and this gets misconstrued by the therapist (Diguiseppe & Bernard, 2006). It could lead to more harm than good for the child if the therapist decides to go the disputational route, ignoring the fact that the data supports the child’s perspective and the elegant solution is a better alternative to treatment (Diguiseppe & Bernard, 2006). Many therapists tend to do this because they believe that a child’s realization of their parents being uncaring, unfair, or disturbed may cause more emotional distress than they can handle (Diguiseppe & Bernard, 2006). Let’s suppose a child is confronted with such an unfortunate reality of an unloving parent. The therapist decides to pursue an empirical strategy and tries to relabel the parent’s behavior as caring, and convince the child that the parent really does care.

For example, when interviewing a client who is living a hard time with his son with autism, it is not easy to find resources that already owned by the client to solve their problem, but only getting help from other specific agencies and applying for allowance from the government. That is, solution-focused therapy lacks of a systematic way of thinking. However, it is important to view the client’s situation in a more realistic way and involve other systems into the helping process; otherwise it is against the idea of “person in

In spite of the effective treatments for interventions for children in the foster care system who struggle with mental health issues. Barriers to care remain in the United States, and a lack of resources including human and financial along with stigma are just a few why some youth are not able to receive treatment. Though some progress has been made in developing effective treatments for children and adolescents with mental disorders. Priority is given to those who are not labeled with the association of mental illness.

However, one must realize that not only their traumas are different, but their ways of dealing with their traumas are different as well. Type of sharing their feelings and how much support they receive affect the outcome for each character , which also affect their recovery process. As Holden and Charlie both try to cope with their emotions, they think about their traumas in different ways. Charlie chooses not to occupy himself with his trauma, so he subconsciously represses all the disturbing memories as much as he can.

Self actualisation is another strength to this form of therapy as it “helps the client to fully concentrate on themselves and guide in decision making for growth and develop into an honest, selfless and independent person” according to Mearns (1994). This helps the client to have autonomy, gives them self growth and self acceptance and all of which I feel are necessary for Gloria. Rogers strives on having a good relationship between the client and therapist whereas Ellis believes that this is not necessary for effective counselling session or for personality change. However, the negative side to person-centred counselling could be that the client is not challenged by anyone as the therapist does not give opinions or suggestions. There is no structure to the therapy session and therefore it relies on the client to be heavily involved in the counselling session and this maybe too optimistic for some clients as they are not getting answers, so they may find it hard to progress.

Thirdly the counselor expresses empathetic understanding, so the client can mirror and reflect their feelings and thoughts in the sessions. Experience is the major factor that make the client become strong, stern and except to life’s challenges. Often decisions are difficult to make in experiences.

The therapist experiences unconditional positive regard for the client The therapist accepts the person as they are, puts no condition on valuing them, separates the behaviour from the person. When they know they are not being judged, it allows the client to think perhaps they do not have to judge themselves (Rogers, 1975?) 5. The therapist experiences an empathic understanding of the client’s frame of reference and communicates this experience to the client When the client is empathically heard, they get greater understanding of themselves.

While it’s natural to try to protect people from negative experiences it can make it difficult for them to tackle life’s larger problems down the line. Everyone needs the opportunity to build their confidence as well as their psychological strength, both of these are necessary to succeed. By shielding someone from life’s realities we set them up for failure as they are more vulnerable. So, while you made it through your parent’s divorce, being bullied, or moving that wasn’t the same level of trauma or adversity as someone else may have faced.

In conclusion, depression may not be a one-way solution to get help, even though the situation seems hopeless, there is always a way out of that dire situation. Depression can cause a person to have low self-esteem, unhappiness, sorrowfulness. Adolescents and adult should seek the treatment from psychologist because it can help them recover faster and depression is a serious problem that should be addressed immediately in our

As a result when automatic cognitive process were activated people are more prone to becoming vulnerable to developing well-established maladaptive patterns of negative thoughts, memories and attitudes; leading to the consumption of all their cognitive resources and leaving little room for positive affirming thoughts (Segal, Williams, & Teasdale, 2013). A review of CT supported previous hypothesis that it is effective in preventing relapse because at its core it: decentralizes individuals from their thoughts, allowing them to develop different ways of being with their thoughts (Segal, Williams, Teasdale, 2013). These beliefs lead this group on a journey that would include mindfulness and CT to help those during

A younger child would have no understanding of why their parent was acting differently. An older child would be able to use logic and reasoning to comprehend the reason for the differences, but would not be immune to the impact of disorders. The trauma of having a parent with a mental illness puts a child at risk of attachment issues and complex trauma. The parent may have difficult time being attuned to their child; assisting the child in learning to self-sooth; modeling healthy coping models; or they may neglect their children to varying degrees. Additionally if the parent with the mental health disorder perpetrated IVP, the child is again exposed to

CBT is generally short-term and focused on helping clients deal with very specific problems. During the course of counseling individuals learn how to identify and change destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on behavior. Cognitive behavior therapy is generally short-term and focused on helping clients deal with a very specific problem. During the course of treatment, people learn how to identify and change destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on behavior and can affect vocational rehabilitation process. I desire to help all my clients succeed in all their vocational goals as a rehabilitation counselor and I want them to feel good about themselves with a positive outcome.

During the residency experience, there are many things that one should learn when making sure that he or she is effective as a counselor. When working with clients, it was challenging to find other ways to interact with certain clients. Every individual will not be cooperative with the counseling process. One client that could be remembered was the trigger client that was chosen. The client was a man that was chauvinistic and did not want to speak to me because of my sexuality.

It can lead to very unpleasant behaviours like: depression and frustrating or other negative feelings. Parents who recognise some difficulties in speaking should consult with professionals that will be able to help kids and find their needs. (E.g. speech therapist) The children who have problems with communicating (SLI - Specific Language Impairment) may have also a bad memory, a poor vocabulary, using rights grammatical forms, they may slur and have other problems disabled free
