One example that highlights the help I provided involved a patient who had chronic back pain. She had been in before and continued to have issues performing daily tasks because of the amount of
I was watching the Tavis Smiley Show and was happy to see a mutual interest in enabling a healthy environment. Additionally, when I first turned to the channel they was talking about mental illness and I appreciated the insight. I believe they complimented the conversation with their perceptions. I went to school and got a bachelor degree of Science in Psychology and that is some of the topics I covered. Pretty
When the patients would start talking more it was an indicator to me that they were trying to put a hold on the procedure. I would try to help them as much as I could, by explaining what I will be doing and how it will help them. I will have to work on working with anxiety to help me overcome this
Tuesday: I attended a bed unit meeting. After the meeting I assisted my site coordinator by sorting and filing papers into a binder. Once this task was complete I created welcome kits for the department.

It would be beneficial to learn ways to help the client to open up even when there is resistance. Another challenge that one may face not being knowledgeable of the many intervention. For example, when working with a client that was afraid of clowns, it was obvious that I was not fully confident in working with a scenario that I was not knowledgeable about. It would be useful learn about phobias and what could trigger an episode.
From the ideas and techniques that Mrs. Perez used, I realized how these interviews could be helpful if utilized and applied in the proper way. To me, this assignment was the best and it helped me further my development and growth as a future mental health counselor. The most interesting and educative aspect of this interview was how Mrs. Perez applied most of the counseling techniques, such motivational stage that we have been taught in class. Aspects such as paraphrasing the words of your clients, tone, and facial expressions are critical in a counseling session and students always overlook these techniques. The way Mrs. Perez employed according to her explanation was excellent and her ideas justified the importance of such points in any counseling session.
During my job as a CNA, I tried to approach each patient from where they were at and put myself in their shoes in order to understand what each patient
This experience has taught me a few truths that I intend to incorporate in my future practice. My biggest realization was to learn that patients have amazing intuition when it comes to recognizing if a counselor is invested in a conversational and genuinely cares about patient’s well-being. One of the most important and humbling moments during my Practicum was sitting across the table from a complete stranger, trying to establish certain degree of trust and safety by listening and attempting to understand patient’s story, and receiving “It seems like you care” affirmation from a client that I am trustworthy and

This clinical experience has really helped me to sharpen my communication skills and realize just how important it is to understand mental health. We are told multiple times in class that mental health issues can be seen on any floor and that is the truth. I’ve seen patients in my older adult clinical on the pulmonary floor suffer from issues that range from anxiety to bipolar disorder and depression. Being able to understand how to approach people that suffer from these types of illnesses, allows us, the nurses, to give the patient the best care that we can. It helps to build a trusting relationship and get to know them on a personal level.
