M6 Counselors Can Help

TASK 6

COUNSELORS CAN HELP!!!



Watch my story of a great counselor here


This assignment took me down memory lane to remember a great woman in my life. She was a counselor and friend. I haven't seen her in a couple years as my counselor but I did run into while out shopping a couple months ago. She helped me thru some really dark times. Doing this assignment made me think back to where I was and look at where I am now, by the grace of God and God alone. I know that God used Trish in my life to help me thru those couple years as I struggled to get sober and stay sober. I am grateful to her and all she has done for the recovery community. 

I really encourage people to see a counselor. A counselor is not just for when things are bad but even for when things are going well. If you are already seeing a counselor when things are good and its already a part of your routine then when things go bad you will know where to go for help and it won't be so hard to go. Trish is the one who told me something like that once!!😊It took me a long while to get where I am now and many people have played a role in my journey to sobriety. That is why I now have a great desire to do the same and help others on their journey to breaking free from the things that entangle our souls in darkness and helping them step into the joyous light of  freedom.

M2 Task - Teen brain vs. Adult brain

Teen brain Vs. Adult Brain For this task I decided to do the teen brain vs. the adult brain. I have three teenage boys ages 17, 15, and 14 so this was of great interest to me and something I could readily apply the knowledge I had learned in preparation for the task. I asked my mom to be in video because we live with her and my dad so even though the teenagers are mine, she has first hand experience on a daily basis with them. The brain and how it works has always intrigued me and I have done a lot of informal learning through the years. Also, because of some the things I have been through in my life I have researched the different aspects and issues with the brain. S o this just confirms what I knew:  Teen brains ARE very different than adults brains!!!  Watch this video as I explain to my mom about the differences I learned about. https://youtu.be/hx_glXpVsWs My mom was very surprised at some of the things I shared with her.

About My Interest in Psychology

There are a few branches of psychology that seems interesting to me. Research, Forensic, Biopsychology/neuropsychology, and school psychology are all branches that peak an interest for me but I feel that I am being led to is Addictions Counseling which is a substance abuse counselor for both for youth and adults. The topics that are studied within that branch relate to addiction and substance abuse including triggers, family group and individual counseling modules. They will learn how to help a person put back the pieces their life by identifying reason for abuse in the first place. It is said to be a family disease so if willing, the counselor will help the family to become unified again. There are many ways to enter this field. Some states only require a certificate to begin working in the field but it is recommended to have at least Bachelor's and these days best to have a Master's degree in the field especially to be a counselor. A Bachelors degree you can have various jo...

Personality

Personality How wonderful and unique God has made each of us!!! People may look alike but can have different personalities. I have three boy all raised in the same environment, exposed to the same things, and all have very different personalities. It is what makes this world interesting. I am sure we would get very bored if we all were exactly alike another. Even as different as we are, Personality traits can all fall into some dimension and each dimension has a range of high , medium or low as to where the person can fall according to how they display the trait.  I took a personality test that was done by Myers-Briggs. They measure personality in sixteen different personality types. The questions compare whether you are introvert or extrovert, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, judging or perceiving. It was a series of questions, some of which I had to think about a minute because some behavior are so automatic I wasn't really sure how to answer. I noticed I h...
