Using Counselling skills

Using Counselling skills Before I started I went over a contract and I told Jillian how I was using the content of the session to write an assignment for the course that I am doing at college and that only myself, my course tutor and maybe an outside assessor for the course would see what was written about the session and that she could read the assignment before I showed anyone else. I stated that almost everything that was said to me would be confidential, although working along the B.A.C.P ethical guidelines, confidentiality may have to be broken if it became clear that serious harm may be caused to others or herself. We agreed that this would be a one off session that would last around 30 minutes. I explained a little about Person-Centred counselling to Jillian, I explained that counselling is a way of using a relationship, in this case between myself (acting as the counsellor) to facilitate the development of the Jillian (the client). It works on the assumption that if I am able to offer Jillian a relationship characterised by empathy, acceptance and genuineness, and if Jillian is able to perceive and appreciate these qualities, then she will feel safe enough to disclose hidden aspects of her self which could be upsetting to her. The fact that I can accept these previously hidden parts of Jillian's self (unconditional positive regard), helps her to accept them too.

Witchfinder Response.

Witchfinder Response Diary of Mary Brierley Monday A very cold frost this January morning and even putting extra logs on the fire couldn't warm up my little cottage. Thank goodness it's nestled here just inside the woods or that bitter wind would be worst. After wrapping up in every bit of clothing I could find I went out to feed the chickens and collect the eggs, the goat, bless her got a bit grumpy when I tried to milk her, didn't want to get up out of the straw I reckon. I went into the woods and checked my traps - found a brace of rabbits. Gutting and skinning them soon warmed my hands, they hadn't been dead long and the blood was still warm. I made a rabbit stew and added some of my vegetables, they are lasting the winter well. Oh how I look forward to the planting in the spring, watching them grow and hopefully getting another good crop next autumn. Gimble the cat never ventured far from that stew pot and the warmth of the fire. He did well with all the scraps and how he purrs when I stroke him. The cold gets right into my old bones now and I made up some ointment with rosemary, marjoram, pepper, and lavender mixed together with goose fat. It warms the joints. Tuesday Had a visitor - Mrs Ridley - she was suffering with many aches and pains, so put some of my ointment in a little cup for her and made her some of my healing tea made from rosemary, rosehips,

The Ouija Board

The Ouija Board While searching for her school pictures, Janet discovered this board in her attic. Although it was covered in a thick layer of dust, the original plastic casing still covered the box. Without telling her father, she brought it back down to her room, later deciding to bring it with her to work as a way to kill the time at the greasy Mexican fast food hut where she worked on the graveyard shift. At midnight they locked the doors to the store; only the drive-thru remained open. Janet tore off the plastic wrapping and removed the board from the box and placed it on a table by the window. Nelson, her co-worker, grimaced. "You don't believe in that stuff, do you?" She grabbed his arm and dragged him to the table. "Come on, it'll be fun." On the base of the board were written the letters of the alphabet in two rows of thirteen, the numbers zero through nine, and the words, "YES", "NO" and "GOODBYE". The message indicator was a triangular piece of plastic with a stake protruding from each vertex. "How's the board work?" Nelson asked. She was surprised that he had never play with one before. "It is supposed to have a spirit trapped inside it that will answer our questions." "So what do you do with it?" "You ask it questions." "Like what?" "Like...will I win this week's lottery?" The pointer snaked its way across the board, hesitating on the 'Yes'

As I Lay Dying: What's in a Name? Faulkner identifies some 600 inhabitants of Yoknapatawpha by name, often obviously delighting in the play of their names on the ear. Lump Snopes

As I Lay Dying: What's in a Name? Faulkner identifies some 600 inhabitants of Yoknapatawpha by name, often obviously delighting in the play of their names on the ear. Lump Snopes and Temple Drake are more obvious examples, but they alert us to Faulkner's use of names in general. Helen Lang Leath has called attention to the significance of names in As I Lay Dying, suggesting that the names Cash and Jewel represent tangible value while Darl, short for "darling," connotes an intangible attachment (65). The idea that "cash" and "jewel" have the same connotations for us seems unlikely, but, even if we don't accept Leath's interpretation, it is still worth seeing what naming might contribute to understanding As I Lay Dying. Readers often think of "Bundren" as "burden," perhaps appropriately given Faulkner's remark that he "took this family and subjected them to the two greatest catastrophes which man can suffer--flood and fire, that's all" (Pilkington 87). But the morphemic root of Bundren is "bund," meaning a league, confederacy, or association. The Bundren family is forced to try to function as at least a loose confederacy, and the ironies of the funeral journey and their return home both point to this need and the family failure to achieve it. There is little point belaboring our obvious associations with "Cash," except to remind ourselves that the name "Cash" is not all

2001 A space odyssey

2001 A space odyssey 2001 is a masterpiece of cinema that still influences film makers nearly thirty years after it was made -- but what does it actually mean? Therein lies the enigma. Of course, 2001 is open to many interpretations and probably even Kubrick couldn't provide the "correct" one. The film is very different from the book; Kubrick reduced the original script to its bare essentials making the actors part of the narrative , but not telling the narrative through the script. making it a lesser part of the hole experience. Where there is speaking it is almost always symbolic The first words spoken signal the decay of human language to empty phrases: "Here you are, sir. Main level, please." The opening of 2001 is the Dawn of Man sequence which dovetails neatly with end of Dr. Strangelove: "We'll meet again, some sunny day " First image in the film is of a rising Sun Obviously, Kubrick pondered deeply the astonishing reality, that idea that man was smart enough to blow up the earth, but not smart enough to stop that from happening (kubric)(man doesn't want to nail himself, but he does). How could such a phenomenon occur? With such strong symbolic events and imagery in the opening seen it is hard to see them all as individual events, kubric uses these to tell the narrative of the story. The Sun is not just light, but heat (a desert). Making the Sun not

The Fairground

The Fairground As I was riding along in the roller coaster, my stomach seemed to be going ten times faster. It felt like everything I had ever eaten and drank was being churned about inside my belly. I could barely notice anything when I was sitting in the carriage. The merry-go-round was lit up with hundreds of brightly coloured lights, of all different colours. These reflected in the children's joyful faces. With the wind in my own face and tears streaming from my eyes, everything around me soon became a multicoloured blur and it was impossible for me to focus. It was easy to hear everything around me - the shrill cries of peoples voices interrupted by the sirens of the fairground. The noise was almost deafening. Then finally the rollercoaster applied its brakes and with a long ear-piercing screech it slowly came to a halt. For a moment or two there seemed to be silence as everybody lifted their heads and let go of the bars. With a sigh of relief I got out and went in search for somewhere to be sick, then to find the next heart-stopping ride. Deciding that I needed to find a toilet, I came across a deserted block at one end of the fair. They looked as though they had been bombed in World War One. Inside they were even worse, where not even the bravest would dare enter. However it was decorated in colourful graffiti and it held my interest for longer than the hall of

Children of the Dust – Veronica pages 14-40

Children of the Dust - Veronica pages 14-40 Veronica is Sarah's stepmother and mother of William and Catherine. When we first meet her she is busy barricading a room to protect her family from the explosions and fall-out of a nuclear war. She is obviously tense and anxious and this is why she 'snapped' at the children and spoke 'grimly'. The reader can sympathise with Veronica here because of the tension she is under. Soon, the tension really starts to show as the bombs are hitting various parts of England. 'Get that dog out of here' she shouts at William, as he is trying to keep Buster - the family dog - in the house. She may seem a little blunt, but this is understandable as she is under a massive strain. A few minutes after, we see Veronica at the last few moments before the bombs, and the tiniest thing is irritating her, even Sarah biting her fingernails sparks an angry response - '"Stop doing that" she said angrily'. She is obviously nervous at this point, as anyone would be put in a similar situation. It is likely that she is worried about what might happen. At the end of the war, she seems to be trying to blot the whole past out of her mind (including her husband, Sarah's father), as she says 'He wont be able to come to us...no point in hoping'. She does not attempt to console Sarah - as Sarah is not her own daughter, and is old enough to find her own
