Counseling at the Crossroads: Better Serving Clients with 21st Century Technologies

Filmed at the California Southern University School of Behavioral Sciences. Please visit http://www.calsouthern.edu/psychologyTitle: “Counseling at the Crossroads: Better Serving Clients with 21st Century Technologies”Presented by Dr. Marlene Maheu (http://telehealth.org/marlenemaheu/)Description: Distance counseling is an explosive area, in terms of both growth and controversy. Influences from the Internet, email, web services, smartphones, apps and more sophisticated technological advances are continually surfacing in day-to-day practice. Yet, many responsible professionals are leery of distance counseling because they’ve seen examples of unprofessionalism online.The unprecedented juxtaposition of demand for counselors to have technological expertise to augment counseling services via email, telephone and video on one hand, and to better serve clients by treating a variety of technology-based disorders on the other hand, creates an extraordinary opportunity for counselors. As we re-tool for life in the 21st century, the skills and insights of counselors will increasingly be needed, but distance counseling training is lacking. While much scientific information is available, interested counselors don’t know how to easily access the scientific evidence base. Regulation is slow to adapt.This presentation will outline optimal models for wide-scale adoption of a variety of technologies in evidence-based counseling practice, predict developments we are likely to see in the near future and highlight needed changes to counselor identity.Bio:Trainer, author and researcher Marlene M. Maheu, PhD is the executive director of the TeleMental Health Institute (http://telehealth.org), one of five providers of training for the Distance Credentialed Counselor (DCC). Dr. Maheu’s focus has been on the legal and ethical development and use of technologies to better service behavioral health clients. She has served on numerous professional association committees, task forces and work groups, including the American Counseling Association’s Cyber Counseling Committee.Dr. Maheu has authored dozens of peer-reviewed articles, and is the author of four telehealth textbooks. She has overseen the delivery of professional telemental health training to more than 10,000 professionals in 39 countries.If you would like to receive a certificate of attendance for viewing this lecture, please visit: http://apply.calsouthern.edu/attendance-certificate/

What is Schizotypal Personality Disorder? | Kati Morton | Kati Morton

JOURNAL CLUB! Every Tuesday & Friday I post a journal prompt to help keep you motivated and working on yourself! JOIN NOW: https://www.youtube.com/katimorton/join Order my book today! ARE U OK? http://geni.us/sva4iUY Schizotypal Personality Disorder: There are so many various diagnostic criteria that I want you to make sure you spend a lot of time with your therapist or psychiatrist before they give you this diagnosis. Many people find themselves being misdiagnosed because some of the criteria for schizotypal personality disorder overlaps with what they are really struggling with. Some of the diagnostic criteria are: Those with this disorder struggle in social situations and have a hard time with interpersonal relationships. They also have cognitive and perceptual distortions which can lead them to doing odd things, because they see and think things that others do not. In addition to this they must have at least 5 of the following 9 symptoms. 1. Ideas of reference. This means that they believe everything happening to them has some sort of significance (ie. this is all leading me to my destiny, or this is my fate, etc). 2. Odd beliefs or magical thinking. Meaning that they have these sets of beliefs that are not related to their culture or religious beliefs. Magical thinking is when we believe we have a sixth sense or that we can see the future. They may also believe that they have magical control over others (thinking that the reason you are opening the door for them is because they thought of it and thought you should do that). 3. Unusual perceptual experiences. This may be that they say they can sense someone nearby or that they hear someone murmuring their name. They will perceive things that someone without this disorder would not. 4. Odd thinking and speech. Can be very vague or speak in riddles. They may also be very tangential meaning they get off topic and we can’t tell what they are talking about anymore. 5. Suspiciousness or paranoid ideation. Meaning it’s hard for them to trust anyone. They are suspicious of everything and everyone. 6. Inappropriate or constricted affect. This means that the facial expressions we would expect do not happen. They may appear flat (showing no emotion at all) or laugh when everyone else is shocked. 7. Behavior or appearance that is odd. Since they are suspicious or everyone and perceive things that are not there, of course they act a bit odd! 8. Lack of close friends other than first degree relatives. This makes sense if we are suspicious of everyone, speak and look differently it can be hard for us to connect with others. 9. Excessive social anxiety that doesn’t diminish with familiarity. I also think it’s important to note that these symptoms are not due to a medical condition or a change in medication. Those changes can cause symptoms such as these and we need to rule those causes out.

Harvard report: Dogs reduce stress

A recent Harvard Medical School report, “Get Healthy, Get a Dog,” (http://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/having-a-dog-can-help-your-heart–literally) highlights the many health and social benefits of having a dog, including reducing stress, being more active, and promoting social connection. Here we meet a few prominent members of Harvard’s canine community, and learn from Elizabeth Pegg Frates, clinical assistant professor at the Medical School, about how they might be a wonderful addition to any community.

Top 5 Triggers for stress in the workplace

While a small amount of stress can help to motivate us and keep us focused, too much is never a good thing and can lead to serious problems with anxiety and depression.We’ve identified our top 5 triggers for stress in the workplace.1. Not enough breaks Working through lunch every day might impress the boss, but sooner or later it’s going to take its toll. And it’s not just holidays and lunch-breaks that we’re talking about, either – even short screen breaks are essential for re-charging your batteries and giving you a much-needed chance to rest and recuperate.2. Working when you’re ill Presenteeism is a huge problem in today’s high-pressure working environments. It’s not just about people coming in sick and under-performing – unwell employees tend to create more unwell employees as viruses and bacteria spread, and coming back to work before you’re ready can delay the recuperation process too.3. Difficult people Dealing with difficult colleagues and customers is a major cause of stress at work and one of the last unmeasured costs to organisations in terms of absence, poor performance and high staff turnover.4. Lack of control Not being able to determine our own workload, a lack of consultation and dealing with shifting demands and deadlines can leave us feeling powerless and under-valued, leading to high stress levels and anxiety.5. Poor environment The actual place where we work is extremely important for our wellbeing – so if we’re subjected to constant noise or movement of people around us, bad lighting, not enough space or a poorly configured workstation, it’s going to impact on our performance.Being able to identify and eliminate triggers for stress is a key starting point for building a mentally healthy workplace where everyone can give their best.Find out what you can do to support your employees’ wellbeing with mental health training from Skill Boosters. http://bit.ly/Skill_Boosters_MHtraining
