...In this essay I will be discussing a teaching activity that I carried out in clinical placement which was breathing exercises and relaxation techniques for a client who suffers from anxiety. I chose this activity because in my clinical placement many clients in the services suffer from anxiety. I researched on methods which could be used for clients who suffer from anxiety such as:- breathing exercises, yoga, anxiety management, massages, taking up exercises, CBT(Cognitive behavioural therapy), having a healthy life style and talking about feelings and thoughts which all help to reduce the symptoms of anxiety. I chose a 66 year old lady who suffers from anxiety and will be naming her Catherine to maintain confidentiality. The code: Standards of conduct, performance and ethics for nurses and midwives’ (2008) states: "You must respect people's right to confidentiality”. I will be using a Gibbs (1988) reflective model as his model incorporates: - “description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action plan” (Gibbs, 1988). Catherine suffers from anxiety and would feel anxious in the morning and if she would have to go out to the shops or for a day out to the park. Catherine feels she can’t go out due to changes in her life because she lives alone and her husband passed away a year ago; they use to go out together, everywhere. Catherine does not feel anxious when she is accompanied by a friend or a team member from services, but tends to feel anxious when she is alone...

This study attempts to identify potential sources of anxiety relevant to the students’ affective needs or concerns in an institution of higher learning through the use of an in-depth qualitative questionnaire. As the pre-administered questionnaire findings indicate, the differences in the level of language anxiety exhibited by the participants seem to vary by gender. Using various studies by previous researchers of language anxiety as a theoretical guideline for data collection and analysis, this study also discusses some of the influences or impact of anxiety-provoking factors on second language learning, along with some implications for further research on language anxiety. 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Anxiety is a negative way to present human feelings. When we are anxious, we feel nervous, worried, and fearful. We struggle, tremble, perspire, and our hearts beat quickly. In general, anxiety can be defined as a complex concept dependent upon not only on one’s feelings of selfefficacy...

...information through this data base it helped eliminate unneeded information. The writing workshops gave me and in depth look and how to read a paper from the readers point of view versus just the writer’s voice. It also gave me a chance to see how other people would create such a paper and gave me tips on where I was lacking strength. Having someone else read and criticized your work humbles you as well as gives you room to grow as a writer. Along with the workshop having you look over my paper and giving me your feedback helped be discover ways I could elaborate and fix my claim. Since this is the second time I have written and read research on the topic of dreams I feel like I have a stronger understanding of how beneficial dreams are to your lives. If I have dream that frightens me I know have a idea of where it came from and how it relates to my day to day life because I have read so many different views and opinions on dream analysis. Learning about the different ways people view the ‘meaning’ of a dream really gives me a new appreciation to the unconscious thought process. It allowed me to see how complex the human mind is in the fact that we can create vivid ideas while we are technically not in a conscious thinking state of mind. It opened my eyes on different ways I can interpret a dream that bothers me when I wake up in the morning as well as allow me to know not to take what I dream to deep...

...stage fright or speech anxiety felt by many speakers is due to not knowing enough about the speaking environment or the audience. The more you know about your speaking environment and your audience, the more relaxed you will be when delivering your speech. Many speakers, however, often overlook the need to include any kind of audience analysis as part of their speech preparation. Proper audience analysis will assure that you give the right speech to the right audience. Most professional speakers send their clients a multi-page questionnaire in order to gather enough information about them and the speaking event to properly customize their speeches. Using the word "A-U-D-I-E-N-C-E" as an acronym, I have defined some general audience analysis categories that these surveys should include. A nalysis - Who are they? How many will be there? U nderstanding - What is their knowledge of the subject? D emographics - What is their age, sex, educational background? I nterest - Why are they there? Who asked them to be there? E nvironment - Where will I stand? Can they all see & hear me? N eeds - What are their needs? What are your needs as the speaker? C ustomized - What specific needs do you need to address? E xpectations - What do they expect to learn or hear from you? Develop specific questions which fit into each of these eight categories and ask the client or audience to tell you what they want. Essentially, ask them what they need and give it to...

...by community mental health services. A differential diagnosis of Delusional Disorder – Paranoid Type, (ICD 10- F22.0) and Paranoid Personality Disorder (ICD 10 – F60.0) as defined by the ICD 10 manual (World Health Organisation, 1992) was indicated. Theoretical perspectives Delusions are irrational beliefs, held with a high level of conviction, that are resistant to change even when the delusional person is exposed to forms of proof that contradict the belief. Paranoia is driven by the anticipation of danger (Freeman, 2007), and the condition involves excessive vigilance for danger, misinterpretation of threat and attentional and memory biases for threat-related material (Bentall, Kinderman, Corcoran, Howard & Blackwood, 2001). Anxiety is suspected to hold a central role...

...The True Bond Between Men As human beings we are forced to accept the inevitability of being confronted with situations that test our ethical bounds and character. In the middle of a moral conflict we become lost in thought and make decisions based on intuition with the belief that it will guide us to ethical ground. However, we cannot always be morally correct where we must revisit our past to examine whether our choices were correct. Being torn between what is moral and immoral arises in the story The Secret Sharer by Joseph Conrad. Conrad presents a moral conflict between the Captain who remains unnamed, and an escaped criminal, Leggatt. By observing the choices and the thoughts of the captain, we can try to evaluate whether his harbouring of the fugitive is morally correct or not. However, many evaluations of the situation come into light, especially that of the sexual attraction of the captain and Leggatt, which interferes with the captains decision-making. This is a main argument in James Phelan’s critical essay “Sharing Secrets”. Phelan examines the homosexual tendencies and states that these urges stand in the way of making a moral decision and the true secret is the captain’s sexuality. Conversely, Phelan’s valid examination of the captain’s inability to accept the actions of Leggatt helps further delve into the nature of the true secret. The critical essay “Sharing Secrets” introduces the idea that the there are two possibilities that the captain feels close to...

What theory or theories did you most want to adopt and why? Give several sentences using the vocabulary from your text. Since my current goal is to work with individuals who are suffering from disorders that may stem from negative thoughts, I am very interested in the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Cognitive Therapy. I am interested in REBT due to the main theory that our problems are caused by our perceptions of life situations and our thoughts. Cognitive Therapy Theory has some of the same thoughts of issues. Cognitive Therapy suggests that psychological problems come from some commonplace processes such as faulty thinking. The fact that both therapy models focus on correcting the thinking of the clients interest me. Often I wonder how much of our problems are caused because we are trapped inside our own memories and self-destructing thoughts. 2. What were the specific characteristics of the theory(s) that most attracted you? Give several sentences using the vocabulary from your text....

...module is to enable me to become a better facilitator in the future. Having experiences from my previous clinical posting, I realized that nursing profession is not only about patient’s bedside care, but also workplace improvement by facilitating others for example students, colleagues and patient health teaching. Gopee (2011) defined facilitating learning is that the learner becomes aware that they should be the originator of their thinking, meaning to say the learner should take more control of their learning instead of passively receive information from the teacher. In addition, facilitating learning is usually form part of healthcare’s professional code, as mentioned in code of practice by Nursing Midwifery Council (2008) that registered nurse must be willing to share their experiences and skills for the good of their colleagues and must facilitate student and others to develop their competent. In order to fulfill this subject, I have two main parts to complete. First, a plan for facilitating a learning session applied all the relevant theories that have been lecturing, and the second part, I am going to write here is a reflective essay using Gibb’s (1988) reflective cycle on what I have learn from this module and my learning from the observed session. In this paper, I used the Gibbs cycle cited in Kilgallon and Thompson (2012). Gibbs (1988) cycle is a widespread model for reflection. It comprises of 6 stages: description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action...

Heidegger A. “The being of Dasein means ahead-of-itself-already-in (the-world) as being-alongside (entities encountered within-the-world)” This notion of Heidegger is clearly seen in the first part of movie. As we can see, the pattern of the movie is that Max, from the present state, somewhat rekindle everything (and the story starts) from the start until the couple died, back to the present again and somewhat gives a glimpse of the future. Although the pattern use by Heidegger is ordered as future, past and present, the pattern in the movie is present, past, present and future. This would be the plot of the movie as the director and the writers intended to do; yet in a deeper analysis, we can see also the care structure of Heidegger. In the middle of the story, Max has his “projection”, to use the term of Heidegger, of what will happen if the proposal of Evelyn, to put Will’s consciousness into a computer, would result into....

...Running head: Quantitative Reasoning Quantitative Reasoning University of Phoenix Quantitative Reasoning Decision making for planning, management, and policy formulations relies increasingly on quantitative reasoning, which entails the collection, analysis and interpretation of data. Mathematics plays a huge part in quantitative reasoning but quantitative reasoning is still a skill with practical applications. From my readings, quantitative reasoning can be applied to daily contexts such as understanding the power of compound interest or the uses and abuses of percentages. Quantitative reasoning could also be used for statistical analysis to gauge the accuracy of a statistical study. While Quantitative Reasoning is not the most important component in a masters level education, it is however important for college students to become competent in quantitative reasoning. Many courses do not dive deep into sophisticated math skills but quantitative reasoning should give the student math tools to understand, interpret, critique, challenge and draw conclusions. As I pursue my masters’ degree I feel that the course in quantitative reasoning will prepare me in many of my other classes. The course has provided many examples of how quantitative reasoning is used with many different problems that one could be confronted with in the business world. Such problems include; what is our return on investment for this project? What price should we set to increase revenue...
