I had just graduated as an occupational therapist and Jan lived and worked in Minneapolis, USA. I packed my few belongings and moved to Minneapolis as a newlywed wife. I had no idea what my life was going to be. In honest I think I was a bit naïve. Being young, inexperienced and naïve might have been my blessing. I was full of excitement and felt like going on an adventure. The first couple of weeks were very exciting. Everything was new to me and it was like being on a holiday. My life had suddenly changed. From living and studying in a small town within my own culture and language I had moved to a big city in a foreign country far away from home. Had to speak, read, write and listen to English all day long except for a few hours in the evening when Jan came home from work. I was no longer on a holiday but in the middle of my new daily life with its challenges. Often I felt alone, inadequate, exhausted and in despair. My husband became my best friend, mentor and guide. More so I think, because I had very little contact with my family and friends in Denmark. In 1984 there was no modern or affordable communication technology. Most of, the communication was done by letters and before I received a reply from my parents or friends my problem was usually solved or

Sociological Imagination Paper There are several things that happen in one’s life that shapes them into what they have become. These things can also change how someone may view the world around them. Experiences can be drastic changes such as moving to a new country or smaller, more common circumstances such as, growing up in a military family.

With the high rate of divorce and break ups in our society today, couples counseling is highly needed to help partners work out relationships instead of ending them. It is heartbreaking for many people who invest time in a relationship to give up due to some challenging issues that they cannot work through. Couples counseling focuses on helping couples learn how to deal with their problems and learn how to better communicate with each other. Many couples shy away from getting help due to ignorance, pride, or lack of finances to afford it, but the truth is that couples counseling has had wonderful results. Relationships normally start out wonderful but over time the fire can dwindle and each partner can begin to drift, get resentful, repetitive

“Tell me all about it.” I gripped the phone so hard my hand hurt. “Tell me everything about Prague.” “Oh, Jennie, it’s incredible. So beautiful.
After watching Sue Johnson's video, I could understand the EFT in a clearer way. It was interesting that she introduced herself as an EFT therapist in the beginning of session and discuss the method. I guess this process made the couple feel comfortable to the therapist and build a safe relationship. She was also utilizing body languages. For example, she touched the female client's knees when she seemed to be upset.
This study uses Quasi-experimental research that compares an experimental group and a control group in order to analyze the effects of the Children of Divorce Intervention Program on misbehavior in the classroom. In recent studies, researchers have found that children from divorce display symptoms of depression, aggressive and delinquent behavior, and have more problems in school (DeLucia-Waack & Gerrity, 2001). The participants of elementary school age students will be selected under the condition that they have parents who have been separated and divorced for a maximum of 24 months. The experimental group will participate in the group counseling intervention program and the control group will not participate until the following school year. It is proposed that, by the end of the research study, students in the experimental group that participate in the group counseling intervention program will show improvements of positive behavior in the classroom.
I haven't really adapted my beliefs into my culture, other than what I wear, what I listen to, and what food I eat. Overall I don't see myself any other way than what I am today. Everybody in this world is trying to survive. Everyone wants to live a good life, so they don't have to worry about anything.

As a small child, I grew up in India, a place well known for its cultural, linguistic and genetic diversity. As a child I have lived in many different places. As my dad climbed up the corporate ladder, we relocated to five different states in India. Each move made me stronger as I had to continuously get used to different schools, teaching methods and still adapt to the different environments. After each move, I had to make new friends and start over each time.
The Mental Health profession that I am interested in is Marriage and Family Therapist. A Marriage and Family Therapists or (MFTs) for short are mental health experts trained in psychotherapy and family systems. They are also licensed to diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders concerning married couples, couples in general and families. These types of therapists treat a long range of clinical problems like depression, marital problems, anxiety, child-parent problems and many more. Their job is to help people work through their problems in their relationships and rebuild them.
He also emphasized that human experience has 2 elements, the element of belonging, and the element of being separate/individualised. This mode of therapy can be distinguished as having emphasis on the family structure, in the context of the therapy settings. This kind of therapy does not seek to create new structures within a family, but it aims to reform the structures which work best for the family. “The family structure is the invisible set of functional demands, which organises how the family members interact” (Minuchin, 1974).

Moving to a new country can be difficult sometimes. Leaving all my relatives and friends back home was the saddest thing for me. My mother told me that we were moving to a new country. At first, I thought my mother was joking about it. but little did I know that she was telling the truth.
