Recommended: Factors that influence effective communication in personality

I’ve always thought about bonds and connections as special communication between the individuals involved. Bonds and connections provide much needed information about the people involved. Bonds and connections represent the priceless intangibles that come from the heart. Two incredible tools to help document these special intangibles are Ecomaps and Genograms. These tools help one to reflect on one’s life and determine their stress and happiness. For some these tools may help to indicate areas of strength and weakness even the most unconscious ones. For others like myself, it just indicates the obvious. Examining my ecomap the first objects that caught my attention are my strong relationships. I love my family! My family is everything to me. It’s my greatest priority and they give me the most joy. Family for me are …show more content…

The individuals that provide honesty, love and support. Along with that are my activist that I enjoy doing such at weight lifting at the gym, sightseeing, and vacationing. Unfortunately, with keeping such a busy life I do not get to enjoy these activities as much as I would like. I always try to balance the happiness with stress but my life can be overwhelming at times. In November of 2013 my son was diagnosed with dyslexia. Every year since he was six years old has been difficult for us regarding school work. Every day we spend at least three hours going over homework to ensure it’s done correctly. This is my greatest stress because as a mother I want nothing more than for my child to succeed. The way his brain processes information is slightly different. So verbally he is amazing but when it comes to translating it onto paper he has the greatest difficult. This is very difficult cause I know the

    Connection, according to Curt Thompson (2010), is the most crucial determinant of our long-term welfare. The degree to which we are attached to significant others in our lives, affects not only our interpersonal dynamics throughout life, but impacts our neural networks as well as those of our children (Thompson, 2010). This attachment begins during the first moment of life, and is nurtured and shaped by a child’s relationship with his or her parents, or lack thereof.

    Along with this subjects were required to draw themselves in relation to these networks using distances to describe how close they were to the specific group (Kaz'mina et al., 1998). Following this, they completed a questionnaire regarding their networks, used to describe each member. The illustrations were later analyzed and described to find that those who depicted themselves closer to their social networks, were less symptomatic when interviewed for a follow-up one year later (Kaz'mina et al., 1998). In relation to Nash, these results point out that by attempting to regain a social network by working out of the library at the university and teaching again, he was able to gain stronger community bonds, and reduce his

    I am undecided as to who the most important human to me is. I have many valuable people in my life who support me: parents, siblings, friends, and teachers. However, one person that has become very important to me over the last year is my mentor. Bob Proctor, a well-known author, defines a mentor as “someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.” In this quote, Mr. Proctor accurately describes the role of a mentor in one’s life. Audra, my dance teacher, is my unofficial mentor and one of my greatest cheerleaders in life. She has influenced me in several ways: through her words of encouragement, her teaching, and her reflection of Jesus.

  • Creating a Genogram

    668 Words  | 2 Pages

    The genogram is similar to mapping or clustering relationships of families. The family is the body, and the relationships and behaviors are the body parts that help the body function. The genogram helps reveal what causes the issues and how each member relates to each other. It has symbols that create a visual description of what the family is going through, how their issues were created, and why they are going through their issues. The genogram is used to specify the different feelings, emotions, and connections of each member of the family. A genogram is used to thoroughly describe the behaviors of family members. This strategy does not discriminate against any race, age, gender, disability, or mental health need. The concepts of the genogram are able to help family members relate to and gain respect for each other. By creating a genogram, the counselor is able to assist the family with setting goals, learning different coping techniques, and an effective treatment and behavior plans for the couple or family (Butler, J. F. 2008).
