This week I was not able to attend class because I was really sick and had the flue. However I did ask my friend for her notes and class details. In this week’s class you focused on Bowen Family therapy model, and had activities in class on that topic. The notes my friend provided me with had a question that really interested me and that question was how old do you feel in your parent’s home? I still live with my parents but I do feel different when I am at home and when I am not home. When I am home my parents still treat me like a young adolescent, they are very caring and still think I am their little girl, however when I am not home I feel like an adult, it feels like the work expects me to know what is right and what is wrong. I feel like a little girl at home, with no responsibilities, but everywhere else I have a responsibility, at home I don’t have to make any decision but when I am at work, or placement I have to make the decisions on what to do and what not to do. I think it must feel good for people visit their parents if they don’t live with them and live alone, because …show more content…
This question is very simple but I think it is really hard to answer because who determines what is close and what is being distance from the family. I personally think I am very close to my family, however just because I think I am close to my family doesn’t my family thinks I am close to them. There are people I know who barely speak to their family and the person feels really close to their family even without communicating much with them, and the family does not feel the same way. Closeness in a relationship is a two way street, one has to feel the intimacy and connection to feel close, but what if only party feels close in a relationship and the second party doesn’t feel very close to the first party. Hence why I think it is very hard answering how close does one feel with their
Rosa and Miguel are experiencing relationship problems due to developmental and financial stressors. This has created a turbulent home environment. Miguel’s verbal abuse and open hostility has Rosa emotionally overwhelmed. He is not physically abusive; however, his anger is upsetting the household. The children are also displaying emotional and physical stress related symptoms. Rosa and Miguel come from emotionally unstable homes, which has impacted their ability to communicate and manage their emotions. Due their inability to communicate in a productive manner, they have sought help to resolve their problems. Both have expressed the concern that they are repeating the harmful behavior they experienced as children. They
I was really nervous about doing this first practice recording. While I knew how I wanted to start the conversation, I was stressed out about the unknown that comes along with these sessions. I am constantly listening to my friends talk, but how I had to respond for the counseling session was very different than what I am typically used to. I usually give my friends my opinions and advice on how I would handle the situation. It was hard for me to just sit back and let my classmate talk. I wanted to respond to many of her statements, but I had to take a step back and really just listen. In these types of counseling sessions my thoughts and opinions are not important. Rather, the focus should only be on the person you are counseling.
People with depression often experience interpersonal problems. Family therapy for depression is a widely used intervention, but it is unclear whether this is an effective therapy for the treatment of depression.

Group therapy is considered one of the most resourceful forms of therapy. The benefits to group therapy can be both cost-effective and a great means of support (Corey, Corey & Corey, 2014). The process of experiencing ideas and viewpoints expressed by your peers allows group members to become more susceptible to the counseling procedure. Group counseling also helps individuals to feel a sense of belonging due to similar situations and experiences shared by the group. The sense of support from group members can be an excellent means towards developing long-lasting relationships and developing communication skills needed to move forward during the counseling phase. In this paper, I will discuss my experiences throughout the group-counseling phase.
How close are you to your brothers and sisters? And close is mother to her brothers and sisters? I think it has a lot to do with where we come from, Arab families are usually much closer to each other than families from other cultures. Me and your mother feel very close to our siblings, and even though we don’t see each other as much because each of us has a family of their own, we talk to them on the phone whenever we can and visit them at least once or twice a year. Compared to our cousins, how different do you think me and my brothers are from them because we are multicultural and come from two different backgrounds?
Therapy is by definition intended to heal or amend a certain disorder. Commonly people use therapy to relieve stress. Therapy helps people make beneficial adjustments in life and solve many of their everyday problems or issues. There are many different types of therapy to choose from.

He or she is relieved of stress and said to have a calm spirit after sessions of
Taking the Human Services course has enhanced my understanding of what is required of me working as a human service provider and the most vital means of taking care of myself in a psychological manner, so that I wouldn’t experience the stress that I have encountered in the past. Although I experienced a stressful workforce, I stayed helping others until it had grown to the point where I reached my limit; in which I had to go out on disability in order to regain my mental stability. I am already familiar with the materials in the chapters that we have studied throughout this semester, because I have worked in the human services field as a substance abuse educator for the past eight years. When I was a substance abuse educator I sat down with my client and listened to them describe their problems and what caused them to engage in their addictive behavior.
A family came in for therapy. There are five people in this family. There are two teenage girls, an 18-year-old male, and a mother and a father. Lately, one of the girls is no longer attending school, she is also withdrawing from friends. She has been disrespectful towards dad. She has been posting lewd pictures on social media, and there are people in the neighborhood telling the parents that they have seen one of their daughters drinking when with their friends.
Since the last journal, a lot school wise has happened. I discovered a likeness for family interviewing, conducted my standardized client interview, and learned a lot in different areas in this class.
Family is an extremely important relationship connection that should always be strong. Family will always be there to support you emotional and physical through any circumstances. I value my relationship with my family, they support me through my decisions and life goals in my life. I am definitely a family oriented person, family is my top priority. We come in as a family through
I grew up in a family full of educated individuals. Most of my family members went to college and had successful careers. I never saw my parents worried about their job. My dad is a teacher at the junior high in my hometown, so he always had a guaranteed paycheck. My mom had multiple jobs during my childhood, and she excelled at every position she was in. Her work ethic inspires me and I admire her determination. The habits of my friends and family only influenced me in a few ways. I have always been an individual that has to learn from their own mistakes. I am often stubborn, and I don’t listen to advice.
In conclusion, children who want to see their aging parents happy, they always try to give their parent best atmosphere .Which they only can get at home .However, children should think about their aging parents what do they really want? They only want professional care or a better and happy atmosphere with their family’s every day. It is not necessary children should take care of their elderly parent, but we really need to think about it because parents work their entire lives to support their family and we owe them a lot. So, in my opinion children should be responsible for their aging parents.
First, friendship will change while relationship won’t. If you lose touch with a friend for a long time, there is a possibility that you will become aloof. However, if you don’t keep in touch with your family members, your bond will not change. In addition, when we chat with our family members, we may not care about the feelings of them too much because we know each other so well that we seldom get angry with them. The deep familiarity make we mistake each other less and make jokes more freely. And those jokes and communications
A home is a place of residence for everyone which they use to take rest or to even gather with family.

Inside the differences between living at home and living away from home, there are similarities in both of them.
