Reflective Report: Therapeutic Groups In An Al-Anon Group Session

I’m glad I went because I learned more about these schools then I would have had I gone online. I talked in person with consolers who were able to answer specific questions I had regarding my major. I liked the transfer fair because it was at a convenient time for me and was laid-back. I could take my time learning about each school with no rush. I would recommend it to anyone thinking about transferring.

My experience in the client role was very eye-opening and helped me to gain a lot of insight about what it is like to endure a clinical interview. Overall, the interview went very well and my clinician had a lot of strengths that helped things to go very smoothly. At first, I was somewhat intimidated to be in this role. While knowing that this participation was completely imaginary and done solely for a project, I still had some trouble with accepting the fact that I was about to portray a character with mental illness. However, thanks to the preparedness of the clinician, I felt very comfortable going through the interview with my prepared answers.

It provides the opportunity for a person to realize the amount of small aspects in a room that can influence how people interact, whether or not they enter a place, and the amount of time they stay in it. Pleasant View Library is a great place for someone to spend their free time at or just relax from the hardships of everyday life. The library has many accommodations which makes it an inviting environment for everyone, a friendly and safe surrounding neighbourhood, and many physical activities one can participate in at the attached community centre and nearby park. A quote by famous American teacher and philosopher Amos Bronson Alcott that one can relate to after completing this assignment is, “Observation more than books and experience more than persons, are the prime

Like Holden, she also comes from a toxic family environment, keeping her kings in the back is a sign of possible sexual abuse from her alcoholic stepfather. Her ability to save Holden is recognized when he states metaphorically, “I don’t want you to get the idea she was a goddam icicle or something” (79). Going along with the motif of vision, Holden is unable to see that an icicle girl, who is still moving and not a frozen fish, is exactly what he needs. Nevertheless, his continued practice of never explaining himself is symbolized when he pretends he has a bullet in his guts and keeps his hand under his jacket “to keep the blood from dripping” (150). He wants to call Jane, but realizes he isn’t “much in the mood” for it (150).

This service learning project allowed me to get an understanding of what goes on in a clinic setting. The Rosenberg School of Optometry uses a certain EMR that is used by many people and at different locations, but it is a fairly new system that has taken time to get adjusted to. They provide special services to their community that allowed me to see that though it is a business and getting money for services is important, providing services to those who need it allows for great representation of what the clinic stands

I have directed my full attention on Mc Murphy, and have constantly reminded him to behave himself. After yesterday’s events at the group meeting however, I believe that a more drastic measure must be taken towards containing patient Mc Murphy. As can be seen from yesterday’s group meeting, Mc Murphy has threatened and intimidated the other patients to take his side. When Mc Murphy started a vote on being allowed to watch TV in the afternoon so that he could see what he wanted to, nearly half the patients simultaneously raised their hands in favor of the change, as if they were puppets being controlled. When I didn’t pass the vote because it violated the other patients’ rights, Mc Murphy and the patients who voted gathered in front of the blank TV and blocked it so that no one else could enjoy it.

The fifth, and last trial was amongst my friends in our rooms. This one was the easiest for me to do because my friends know me and I am comfortable around them. They reacted by laughing and asking if I was

I believe that the person willing to die in order to quit the suffering must be granted his wish; the contrary is a direct desecration of the person’s human rights. Now as every subject there are exceptions. If one is not able to speak or otherwise show his or her wish to die of assisted suicide, no action should be taken. The peculiar thing is that the complete different happens in the world. If someone falls into a comma and there is a chance he or she will wake up, the relatives often decide to pull the plug rather than wait to see a response from the patient.

You will shock that almost every bad thing relate to alcohol drinking such car accident, homeless and drug addicted. Alcohol destroy everybody’s life in many way this research show how they life destroyed from physical to psychological, and the resource came from doctors articles, governments research and books. In my opinion a man should not look if alcohol legal or illegal he most take a look how alcohol destroy everybody’s life and how it will destroy his life because at the end be shore that after many longtime of searching I didn’t find any advantages of alcohol it’s all disadvantages. Alcohol considered one of most important problem because it’s legal and mostly because it’s available for everybody and almost in all countries. Most important problem causes by alcohol are alcohol addiction, fetal alcohol syndrome,

If they do not fit these requirements, then they will be injected with a type of fluid that kills them, then they are sent away to be with other released. For the elderly, the only time euthanasia is used is when they turn a certain age, and are seen as “too old.” In modern society we have something similar, but also different. Euthanasia can be used for people who are in an immense amount of pain, and decide to end their suffering. Doctors will peacefully kill them with an injection. This is also known as assisted suicide.

Most of the time it just comes naturally. When you meet someone new you start talking, and you might find something in common with them. When you find things that you have in common with someone you’re starting some type of connection based just off similarities between you, and someone else. It’s easy to be yourself where you are comfortable, and with people you are comfortable with. I agree with David Brooks that we group ourselves with people we are comfortable with because it helps us feel a sense of stability.

In Tim O’Brien’s story “Notes,” he discusses his fellow soldier “Norman Bowker […] [who hung] himself in the locker room of the YMCA” (149). Bowker symbolizes the pain that many veterans experienced, and how they sadly found their only escape through suicide. Yet, veterans potentially could have survived and even thrived if they had access to resources such as therapy, psychiatrists, and psychologists. When organizations supporting the idea that veterans should have opportunity to obtain these assets proposed this concept to The House Committee members, “members repeatedly balked at the notion that Vietnam Veterans required special counseling programs to help readjust” (Scott 38). Additionally, Patrick Hagopian reflects on how the government opposed the idea of providing these necessary resources so much that “the Nixon administration identified the politically engaged psychiatrists as enemies” (55).

Family and group solidarity are important to the Hmong, yet they were forced to split apart during their journey to America. The Hmong also partook in ceremonies, dances, and sacrifices that were important to them and their religion, however, the doctors and other people were wary of these practices and didn’t condone them, especially when it came to patients such as Lia Lee. Lee’s doctors were constantly giving her shots, medicine, and feeding her through tubes. Her parents didn’t approve of this at all and thought that the medicines they were giving her was what was killing her. Her father, Nao Kao Lee, was especially enraged on two occasions.

They were extremely helpful with every question I asked and gave so much information that my questions were kept at a minimal. Besides being helpful, they were also exceedingly amiable. To this day, I have strong friendships with various people of the organization. By the end of Fish Camp, I thoroughly admired the Voices. I appreciated and respected what they have done as an organization to help out the new freshmen class learn the ropes of Victory.

As I facilitated the professional learning communities, I was able to empower the teachers to create a safe, supportive environment, encouraged them to take leadership of the group, and provided a forum for creativity and growth. I found that many of my skills used for coaching were valuable in creating a safe learning community. For example, building trust and positive relationships is key for teachers to feel safe to share experiences and ideas. In addition, I empowered the teachers to define what the vision for their group would be, become leaders of the group, and generate topics to promote
