Facilitation Reflection #2: Care of Pets

I facilitated a group on "Caring for Pets". The group lasted about 45 minutes and consisted of introductions, a warm up, a discussion about the responsibilities and costs involved with a pet, the benefits of pets, and then we had an activity. I think the most significant part of group for me was realizing how important it is to read your group. It was the end of the day on Friday, after a very long week in school.  The group was exhausted and stressed, so I tried to make it a fun and low-key session. I was going to have the group write down several different topics to discuss, but once I saw how everyone was tired, I decided we could just make the discussion open for people to share ideas if they wanted to. I am very proud of the way my group went. I felt very comfortable facilitating, which I think was due to my being more comfortable with my group and the group process, as well as loving the topic I was leading the group on. The introduction consisted of me introducing...

Class Make-Up

Class Make-Up (1/31/18) The day I missed class, we discussed the different theories in group practice. The theories we talked about are: Psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, Behavioral-Cognitive, Cognitive Disabilities, Developmental, Sensory-Motor, MOHO. The Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic theory is loosely structured, with the leadership style as a facilitator. Once the task has been presented, the group usually goes with the flow. The goal of this is for the individuals to gain insight. It is meant to be very introspective, consisting of projective techniques and activities such as house-tree-person. The Behavioral-Cognitive is my personal favorite. This is highly structured, with the directive leadership style. The goal is to change an individual’s thoughts and behaviors by incorporating activities that focus on the alteration of the thought process. Cognitive disabilities is also a highly-structured group with a highly directive leadership style. It is created based on combinin...

Steve Gleason

Steve Gleason was a safety for the New Orleans Saints. At 34 years old he started feeling a twitch in his arms, shoulders, and back. Symptoms progressively worsened, and a year later he was diagnosed with ALS. After his diagnosis, he founded the organization "Team Gleason" which advocates for individuals diagnosed with ALS. He also began recording a video journal of his life that is now a documentary called "Gleason". Steve Gleason is married, and after his diagnosis he and his wife decided to have a child together. I thought this was so interesting and very telling of their love for one another! In 2013, Steve was given the opportunity to work with Microsoft in developing a wheelchair that could be controlled with eye gaze, and he became the first person with one of these chairs! Eventually, Steve was put on a trach and feeding tube, so he is now completely dependent on this technology. Through all of the struggles that ALS can cause, Steve continues to work hard i...
