Recommended: Behavior modification chapter 7

During the initial conversation with my partner, it was clear that she already had a basis for a goal in mind on how to change an aspect of her health. Although she already had been worked towards incorporating paleo-based meals into her everyday diet, my partner found it difficult to continue these eating habits during the weekend. By utilizing motivational interviewing techniques, I was able to get a better grasp on exactly what my partner wanted to change when it came to her health. After asking the introductory question of what behavior my partner would like to change, we began discussing more specifics, which helped form a baseline of what her eating habits were and what knowledge she already had about the benefits of changing her diet. …show more content…

To determine where my partner was at in her progress towards reaching this goal, I asked her a series of questions. The first question asked was “Have you thought about changing your eating habits in the last few months?” To which my partner simply responded yes, often. I proceeded to ask about her knowledge of the benefits of having a paleo-based diet. She stated that she had first hand experience with the benefits since she had been trying to incorporate more paleo-based meals and had felt better the more she followed the diet. Additionally, I asked if she had access to paleo-based recipes and food, in which she said she had both. To determine if she was already at the action stage of change, I asked if she had already started eating two paleo-based meals every day. She explained that she does eat two paleo-based meals almost every weekday, but not on the weekends, which is where she really wants to focus. After asking these questions, I determined that my partner was at the preparation stage. She already had been eating paleo-based meals fairly often, however she had not fully committed to eating two paleo-based meals every day. She was past the contemplation stage, however, since she had already begun collecting recipes and even started changing her diet. Overall, my partner was about ready to be in the action phase, she just needed to prepare slightly more to have a successful transition to the action stage of

They need to clear their minds from all of the information they are being told and just do the right thing to help them become healthier. For example, in Maxfield’s argument she talks about how people need to trust themselves, their bodies, and meet their needs. She says that if we can do this then we will be able to free ourselves from the formulas that are controlling our lives health and how we eat. In Pollan’s argument he talks about escaping from the Western diet and that the only way to do this is to stop thinking and eating that way. Pollan says if we can stop letting all the theories get in the way of how we eat, then we will be able to stop eating the Western diet and start eating in a much healthier way that will be more beneficial to our

Introduction Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, person-centred form of communication which focuses on the language of change. ‘It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion’ (Miller et al., 2013, p.29). The technique of motivational interviewing was developed by two psychologists, Bill Miller and Steve Rollnick. Motivational interviewing is therapeutic to patients as it is based on a partnership, rather than a nurse-patient relationship (Heckman et al., 2010). There are four processes of motivational interviewing; engaging, focusing, evoking and planning.

contrasting advocates of the Paleo diet argue for contrasting levels of strictness; some purists imagine in cutting out harvest able legumes such as green beans and allowing the merely beverages to be h2o and green tea, while others say that it's okay to be loose on the rules since, after all, this is the 21 st century, not the Paleolithic era. However, all of the proponents of the Paleo diet envision in its health value, which makes sense since the diet cuts out refined sugar, processed food, and extra salt. many foods are restricted on the Paleo Diet, containing sugar, salt, potatoes, legumes, grains, dairy and all processed foods. This diet can be socially disruptive because dieters will find it fierce to find acceptable foods to snack although dining out. Paleo foods are nutrient dense.

Being the clinician and conducting an intake interview was one of the most the practical, informative, and thought-provoking assignments I have completed throughout undergrad thus far. While allowing me to practice clinical interviewing skills, I learned how difficult yet essential various skills were in order to successfully complete an intake process. Specifically, I found taking a direct approach and asking specific questions was most successful. For example, with my client, Ian, I was able to find out the most relevant information about his manic tendencies through asking him specific questions. His intake form described having manic tendencies in the past, though there was not enough information there to really get to the core reason for

My experience in the client role was very eye-opening and helped me to gain a lot of insight about what it is like to endure a clinical interview. Overall, the interview went very well and my clinician had a lot of strengths that helped things to go very smoothly. At first, I was somewhat intimidated to be in this role. While knowing that this participation was completely imaginary and done solely for a project, I still had some trouble with accepting the fact that I was about to portray a character with mental illness.

Psychology is defined as “the scientific study of the mind and behavior” (Introduction to Psychology, 2015). Psychology provides an overview of biology and behavior, sensation and perception, learning, memory, intelligence, language, motivation, emotion, abnormal psychology, and therapy (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 1). Because psychology allows for a better understanding of how the mind and body work, this knowledge can be beneficial for any field of study or career. The theoretical and practical understanding of the basics of psychology can help with decision-making, critical thinking, stress management, time management, better understanding of others, improving communication, and even achieving goals and objectives, all components that allow someone to be more successful throughout their life. Throughout this course I hope to gain a greater understanding of historical and theoretical perspectives of human behavior and development (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 2).
