The Concept of Biblical Numerology
foreign [Music] for people who do not understand biblical numerology seven I'll give you examples you can understand seven days makes a complete week does it not thank God all right so seven if you're reading the book of Revelation that's a number that keeps reappearing why because in the Book of Revelation It's the final basically outflow of God's message to humanity and seven is a number that keeps reappearing over and over to say this is a complete Perfection fulfillment of what God has laid out as his plan speaking for Humanity on Earth until something else happens so you look at it that way as I said seven and four are not added they are multiplied and there is a reason for that and I'm going to explain this this may not make sense to all but try and bear with me if you remember the passage where Christ is being tempted the Temptation Of Christ and Satan comes and several times tries to twist scripture it's important to see that while Christ was being tempted he did not succumb he still remained within the Temptation he remained perfect now when you try to look at this as how we're going to do math all right and these in all of these it's almost like saying he was tempted but he was still perfect he remained sinless he did not succumb when we're looking at adding the numbers up it's not this plus this plus that it's almost an intensification which brings about multiplication so many times when we reference for example there are passages in the Bible that talk about punishment punishment that's upcoming in weeks in terms of weeks it's usually multiplied so when we count in Bible Concepts it's usually multiplication it's not Plus and I'm probably sure I lost a couple of people with the Temptation Of Christ but the idea is it's intensified in it's not added on to [Music] you [Music] so Tuesday coming to this house

So you know focus on what the person has to say and what their heart has to say to engage, and you know likewise, you may not be written off the pages of Vogue either, but try to present yourself well, try to you know, dress appropriately Don’t show up all disheveled and smelly clothes like looking like you haven’t bathed in a week that that’s not helpful so make sure that you’re presenting your best face and you’re dealing with whatever face the client brings And still trying to build that engagement remember the way a client presents.
This tells us a lot about what’s contributing to their presenting issues: poor social skills, and ADHD pain.
You know there are a variety of things that can contribute to depression, anxiety, and substance use. So try to look at it from that way, even if it’s not your ideal client understand what’s causing this person to be negative and just argumentative and frustrating try to get under there and figure it out.
Why is this person so unhappy? What’s motivating is that first impressions impact engagement, so your professional presentation is promptly courteous and smooth handling paperwork.
If you walk in there with 15 sheets of paper – and you’re shuffling them around and it seems like you, don’t know what you’re doing.
You’re like just a second.
I know I had that form around here somewhere, they’re not going to feel very confident in anything.
You have to say so and put on a good first impression.
Put it together and make sure your paperwork is put together ahead of time.
If you have an electronic medical record, make sure you know how to use it because it’s disturbing to people, even though it happens when you’re, using an electronic medical health record to do a screening and you get stuck and you’ve got To call somebody else in to help you figure out how to get on the next screen make sure the environment is calm, clean and comfortable, not too formal or informal like we talked about it, avoids interruptions and provides the appropriate level of privacy.
You don’t want clients sitting in the waiting room being able to hear other clients that are in the therapy, rooms or screening rooms.
If you’re doing screenings, you may not even be in an office, you may be out at a festival or something so make sure that you’ve got. You know little pull-around screens or something, if appropriate, to give people privacy other people, shouldn’t be hearing their responses to what you are asking them, even if it’s, you know like I said, even if it’s at a Workplace festival or something other people should not hear their answers.
So how can you give them privacy if there’s, no way to do that where they can have auditory privacy put as much as possible on check sheets and forms that they can fill out? And then you can point to something and go so help me understand your answer to this right here.
Most of the time you want to try to do a screening in a private room.
In the initial interview you’re, developing trust and rapport so be empathetic.
They’re nervous, probably or they don’t want to be there or maybe they do want to be there and they’re, just hoping that you can help paraphrase that to them whatever vibe you’re getting off of them, paraphrase that and work With it convey warmth and respect and explores the clients, strengths, and skills, you know you’ve been dealing with this depression or this addiction for a long time.
I’m wondering how you’ve survived until now.
What has helped you deal with it? And keep on keeping on facilitating the clients, understanding the rationale, purpose, and procedures of the screening and assessment exploring the clients, problems, and expectations regarding treatment and recovery, and determining whether a further assessment is needed.
That’s your screening.
So the definition of screening is the process by which the counselor, client, and significant others, when possible, review the current situation, symptoms, and collateral information to determine the probability of a problem.
So we’re going to sit down and we’re going to go okay. What brings you here today? What makes you think you got a problem, you know, and then we’re going to start asking questions or using instruments to try to determine whether we think that there’s a probability that that problem exists screaming is used by all types of Human Service Personnel to determine eligibility and appropriateness of services and needed referrals, so it may be used by a physician by a nurse by a counselor by a caseworker to determine how can we best help this person achieve their goals and their maximum quality of life? It’s not unusual for caseworkers at the Department of Children and Families.
If people are coming in to get their food stamps or EBT that month, or they’re enrolling in the process to do a screening to determine how can we best help this person? You know be able to start earning more money, you know, maybe they just need a better job, or maybe they’re not able to maintain employment because their depression is so oppressive.
So you can see where screening may be used in a lot of different systems and situations to help people figure out how to help their customers.
Screening determines the immediacy of the need.
You know you could be doing a screening with somebody who’s like on the fence, or they don’t think they’ve got a problem and it you know there or their problem is minor, so the immediacy may not be great or you could Be screening somebody who is you know heavily intoxicated was just kicked out of his house is facing three DUIs.
You know they have a much more immediate need for their safety as well as, hopefully, they’re.
More motivated screening needs to be a trance process.
We don’t want to sit there with a clipboard and be asking questions and scribbling things down and going uh huh.
Well, I think you need to go for an assessment that’s not transparent.
The clients like, where did you come up with that I usually use screening instruments, and I talk with people when I’m writing things down. I tell them at the end.
If you want to see anything I wrote down, I would encourage you to know I don’t write well, and I’ve got poor penmanship, but I encourage you to read what I wrote and we’re going to talk about these instruments after you Take them so you know you know why were we asking these particular questions? What does it mean to me as a therapist doing your screening, so they understand how you’re arriving at your conclusions?
Screening does require informed consent.
You know it.
Doesn’t have to be a big thing, but it does have to happen before you start screening somebody you need to go.
You know I’d like to screen you for depression or anxiety, or this is a wellness screening that your agency is offered, but have them ideally have them sign a sheet acknowledging that they know that they’re being screened for whatever and screening identifies Early warning signs and helps provide early intervention, services and resources, so you know think about high blood pressure or diabetes or any of those physical things doctor screens for that regularly, and if they see that there might be a problem creeping in, they can do something right.
Then, to keep it from becoming a full-blown problem.
Mental health screening is the same.
We notice people are under a lot of stress.
We know that that’s probably going to wear them out after a while, and it might lead to depression. So we can start helping them, develop stress management skills, for example.
They may not need to go to treatment, maybe they need to go to psychoeducation and learn about stress management, or maybe you’ve got a book.
You can let them read or something.
But screening is a method of determining what the person needs.
Screening is the first opportunity to engage the client in the therapeutic relationship and treatment process, sometimes based on observations or other circumstances.
People may be referred directly for assessment, for example, if people come into the detoxification unit we kind of bypass screening.
We know there’s a problem and jump straight into assessment, so screening doesn’t always happen, but a lot of times.
It does because of that referral source – you know if you’re an Assessor that person came from somewhere.
You know their lawyer could have screened them.
Their doctor could have screened them whatever, but somebody along the way, probably screen them to determine yeah. You probably need to go over to this facility and talk to an Assessor of the clients.
Internal motivation is the primary reason for engaging in treatment.
So if they’re there because their wife told them they had to be or their boss or the courts that got them there, but to get them actually engaged in treatment and not just going through the motions they have to have internal motivation.
There has to be something in it for them, and that’s, what we want to work on developing throughout the whole process, help them see how this benefits them, what’s in it for them, how can it help them accomplish and get closer to their goals for their life, internal motivation may be fleeting, so rapid engagement is vital.
If you see a spark of interest or a spark of willingness, we kind of need to pounce on that spark and go alright.
It seems like you know you want to get on with this because you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired.
So let’s get you enrolled.
Now, if you have to make an appointment for an assessment that’s six weeks out, you may lose the person.
You know that engagement doesn’t last for long.
The engagement lasts while they’re in your office, and then you know you got to have somebody else, pick it up and keep that momentum going. Screening should be brief.
You know twenty-thirty minutes you don’t want to have somebody in there for three hours, that’s the assessment conducted in a variety of settings by a range of professionals on persons deemed to be at risk.
Some things we do Universal screenings for like domestic violence, other things you may do selected screenings for – and it also depends on your setting and all that kind of thing.
But the take-home point is that screenings are conducted in a variety of settings, whether it be a Health Fair at an employer,’s, a doctor,’s office, sometimes churches will even set up wellness days and do screenings screening represents the first part of a Collaboration among the multidisciplinary team because the screener is going to say, okay, I think I’ve identified that this person probably has an issue with this and needs to be referred to assessment over here, but they also need help with housing and food and affording their Prescriptions, so the screener will kind of link them to other team members in the multidisciplinary team.
Screening needs to be sensitive to racial, cultural, socio, economic, and gender-related concerns, so make sure that you’re, culturally responsive and it needs to be developed from information gathered from multiple sources when possible.
When you’re doing a screening a lot of times, the only person you’ve got to do.
The screening is the person sitting right in front of you, but if you’ve got other information.
When I do screenings on people in the criminal justice system, I want to see their criminal records.
You know that gives me some objective.
Information on you know how many times have they been caught? Dui, whether or not they’ve been convicted? How many times have they been caught DUI, that gives me a little bit more information than just what that person is telling me if they’ve been involved with the Department of Children and Families. I want them to bring their case report, especially if they’ve got an open case going on.
Screening assesses signs and symptoms of intoxication and withdrawal.
Three key elements: we want to verify that the behavior deviates from the norm and rule out all non-drug related causes.
So if somebody is having difficulty focusing or they’re agitated, we want to rule out ADHD and schizophrenia and some other things that might cause that, to rule in, if you will stimulant abuse, for example, you want to verify that there.
This is not how they normally behave.
You know some people are agitated and a little bit more bouncy or fidgety or whatever you want to say most of the time.
If that’s how they are, then you know that’s how they are and it’s not a drug, wants to rule out the drug-related causes, including physical causes.
You know if they’re in chronic pain if you know etc.
There are a lot of reasons somebody could be excessively sleepy have difficulty concentrating be overly agitated.
There are a lot of things that use diagnostic procedures to determine the types of drugs being used. So in screening, we’re going to ask them what they’ve been using.
But ideally, you can also do an on-site drug screening.
You know having a pee in a cup and the on-site.
Screenings are not super reliable, but it gives you something to look at.
You know most cases, it’s anywhere between 60 and 70 percent reliability, which is why, if it comes up positive and the person says, I didn’t use that it needs to be sent off to a lab for mass spectrometry.
To determine what happened, because you can get false positives and you can get false negatives, they may have used something and it doesn’t show up on the test.
So you don’t want to just trust the on sites as being a hundred percent, but it is a good tool to identify whether the person is telling you the truth about how much or what their current, whether they’re currently using or not assess Clients, mental health and trauma history.
You’re not going to get deep into the weeds here, just ask them if they have a history of depression, anxiety, or abuse of any sort and move on to their safety or environmental needs.
Do they have a safe place to sleep? You know if they have an address, you know, do they feel safe in their home? Do they eat well, how’s their nutrition? Do they have any physical health needs that are not getting met? Do they have any other wraparound needs? If they’ve got kids, do they have access to childcare? Are they having problems with transportation? Are they able to afford the medications that they’re already prescribed, etc? So we want to ask them about some basic things like that, and then we’re going to assess the danger to themselves and others.
Are they talking about harming themselves or someone else? And we also want to ask if they’re thinking about hurting themselves or someone else. Screening methods include interviewing the clients and significant others using screening instruments and lab tests like urinalysis that we talked about signs of substance, use disorders or mental health issues.
We want to look for number one, the circumstances of contact.
If the person was referred by the court, then that’s a pretty good sign that there may be a substance use disorder going on if they’re referred because of a DUI.
For example, if they’re referred because of a fight they got into, but they weren’t using at the time their blood alcohol was zero.
We want to look maybe for mental health issues and things like intermittent explosive disorder.
You want to look at the clients, demeanor, and behavior.
Are they acting like they’re under the influence when they come in for the screening? Are they showing signs of acute intoxication or withdrawal? Are there any physical signs of drug use or self-injury? Needle injection marks, if they have a get frequent bloody noses, you know if they get bloody noses, while they’re in your office or if they have signs that they’ve been picking.
Those can be all physical signs of drug use.
Emaciation and malnutrition are also signed some drugs will cause the pupils to be dilated.
Other drugs will cause the pupils to be pinpointed. So you want to know what the signs of different drugs are for drugs of intoxication and different signs that people have been using, especially injection, but, like I said, sometimes, drugs will cause people to pick or itch, and that will show indicate to you that there might Be an underlying issue and information spontaneously offered by the client or significant others can give you information about whether there’s a substance, use or mental health issue, and sometimes the significant other.
Let me just kind of back up: there may be the significance the spouse brought the person in and when you go out to meet them you, the person, the person being interviewed.
Doesn’t want their spouse in there.
They want.
They want to go back by themselves, okay, that’s cool, you go out and meet the person and then, if you can, with permission, bring the spouse back after the screening to give them both the results, and at that point the significant other the spouse may Spontaneously say: oh well, why didn’t you tell them about? You know the DUI you had three years ago or whatever.
So sometimes spouses will just kind of blurt things out because they suspect that the significant other didn’t already say it during the interview.
So if you can get that person in a private place where they have an opportunity to say something wonderful but remember you know you do have to have the client’s permission.
Screening instruments can be developed by the agency or use standardized instruments.
The cage is a common one and you ask a person: have they tried to cut down unsuccessfully, do they feel annoyed when people talk to them about their substance use, do they feel guilty about the substances about using their substances and do they sometimes have to Use first thing: in the morning to kind of wake up we call it an eye opener if they say yes to one or more of those, there’s a chance that they may have a problem.
The gain is another tool that you can use, as is the Michigan alcohol screening test or the Sasi. So all of those are standardized instruments, and some of them cost money.
Others, like Kay, don’t, so it may depend on your agency and what kind of budget you’ve got.
What instruments you’re using any instruments you do use must detail what action should be taken based on received scores.
So if a person takes the cage – and they say yes to one but not any of the others, does that mean they should be sent for a referral if they say yes to two, when at what point should they be sent for a full assessment? You want to screen when screening for mental health you want to screen for acute symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions or depression or anxiety, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and other mood and thought disturbances.
So you’re going to ask them about time, place, purpose, and person.
Do you know what time it is? Do you know where you are? Do you know why you’re here and do you know who I am you’re going to ask them about short and long-term memory if they can tell you about something from their childhood great, but you’re also going to ask them If they can tell you about what they had for lunch, another thing you want to assess or another way to assess short term memory is to tell them.
I’m going to tell you four words and I want I’m going to.
Ask you in a few minutes to recall those four words for me and then tell them four words: make them easy words like dog cat, bird, and fish.
You know not something hard to remember and then in five or ten minutes.
Ask them what were the four words I told you and see if they can remember you’re going to ask them about prior involvement in mental health treatment. What worked and what didn’t if they have been in treatment? What prescription medications do they use, and this includes all prescriptions because physical health prescriptions can have mental health side effects? Ask them about recent traumas again, don’t get into it, but ask them if they’ve been victimized or experienced any sort of abuse and a family history of mental illness.
If they have a family history of mental illness, the chances of them developing mental illness are a little bit greater.
When screening for mental health, you’re going to use the modified mini screen, the Mental Status exam, the mini Mental Status exam.
The brief symptom inventory, a brief psychiatric rating scale, or the symptom checklist 9 t r.
So those are the ones that you’re, typically going to use a lot of times.
They’re already in your electronic medical record, so you’re not going to have to figure out what to use in terms of you know, knowing what the instruments are for certification and testing purposes.
These are the six that you want to be aware of.
So you can google each one of them and find out more about what each screening test can provide.
Your screening is the initial contact to decide if a person may need a more in-depth assessment.
Screening is brief but requires the person to be engaged in the process to get an accurate result. How well the person is engaged in the screening process is a direct predictor of whether he or she will continue in the process.

Studies show that there are five major stages of burnout, each with increasing degrees of severity, The honeymoon phase, the onset of stress, chronic stress, burnout, and habitual burnout.
Many people begin to experience symptoms as early as the second phase when there is still a moderate amount of stress, but optimism, interest, motivation, and performance may already start declining by the time you reach the fifth and final stage.

According to dr Ted Wander, inpatient psychiatry, and medical director at Intermountain, LDS Hospital, the symptoms of a generalized anxiety disorder include more generalized emotional symptoms such as irritability, Feelings of worry or dread, trouble, concentrating, and feeling tense or jumpy.

Symptoms of anxiety attacks tend to show themselves gradually when exposed to a trigger When anxiety disorder becomes long-term, though, symptoms can become so constant that it can be hard to tell when they begin and end.
Anxiety may also begin to cause more intrusive symptoms that occur more frequently when stressors are not present.
A psychologist would likely consider this to be a symptom of anxiety disorder.
According to the anxiety and depression Association of America, panic attacks are much more distinct.
Symptoms come on suddenly and noticeably rather than building up gradually over time.

Didn’t learn that this disorientation was also part of the panic disorder until she had worked through her symptoms, But once she learned that her experiences were not as unusual as they felt she began to have the peace of mind that allowed her to share her experiences.

Panic attacks are terrifying.
The best way I can describe My panic attacks is one of those heart attack scenes from every single medical drama.
There is It’s much worse than sweaty palms.
Your entire body starts sweating.
Sometimes things become cold. Whenever I’m at my worst, my breathing becomes so rapid that my throat hurts Noises come out of your throat without your permission and you don’t.
Even recognize them.
It’s a brief amount of time that you have as life. In this, if you take yourself too seriously, you are one big joke. The secret of life is to see everything with a non-serious eye but to be involved like a sport. So be a sport for life. If you want to be a sport for life, you have to be able to see that your existence is of consequence for the times in which we live, but not of eternal consequence unless you touch the eternal dimension of who you are. It’s such a brief life, only by doing what you truly care for, will your life become worthwhile.
If genuine involvement has to come in your life, for you to give yourself absolutely, you must be doing something that truly, truly matters to you. You must find that. When I say it’s important to find that, you don’t have to spend half your life looking for what is my passion. No. You just have to dig into this ability you making everything yours.
When everything is yours, this whole world is yours, this cosmos is yours. So when it is a part of you, if you involve yourself absolutely, and constantly strive to create what matters to you, what you care for, then your existence itself will be worthwhile, not necessarily your actions, not what you achieve and may not achieve, but your very existence will be truly worthwhile because just to breathe and be is phenomena (Laughs). There are no greater phenomena than life. If this is not worthwhile, if this is not worthwhile, what is?

However, if you are feeling scattered and like things are spinning out of control, this could be a sign that your mental health is under strain According to Psychologist, Rick Hanson from Psychology.
