...‘A Personalised induction will always be more effective’. Discuss In the essay that follows we will be discussing whether a personalised induction will always be more effective. We will be doing this through looking how every client is different and whether or not we need to be generic in our delivery of inductions or tailor them to every individual and their needs. In tailoring the induction we will be looking at different modalities that a client may have as well looking at the history of authoritive and permissive inductions and how these could help our clients. I will then conclude whether or not a personalised induction will always be effective. Everyone is different We all know that everyone is different, we all look different, have different ethnicity, different upbringings. We are different down to our DNA. When seeing clients, hypnotherapists need to take this into account in order to obtain the best result for the client. In order to do this the hypnotherapist, when meeting a client for the first time needs to build up a good rapport. This can be done through casually speaking to the clients and observing them while doing so. The hypnotherapist needs to constantly assessing the client looking at appearance (clothing, body language, speech pattern and speech style), personality (decisiveness, degree of worry, implication of logic – gut feeling or thought driven, expression of emotions), and behaviour (internally or externally...

...My interest in studying ultrasound first originated during my undergraduate studies in Radiography when I had opportunities to observe and understand the roles of different modalities such as CT, MRI, nuclear medicine and mammography. While some of these modalities only involve scanning, ultrasound on the other hand offers the satisfaction of diagnosing the scans performed and following it through. This modality also offers close interaction with patients which involves more skill sets. Furthermore, having worked in the Radiology Department as a Radiographer at Kingston Hospital I have had opportunity to observe other specialties and I feel that ultrasound has attracted me the most. My enthusiasm for this modality led me to try out some hands-on sessions, the experience which I really enjoyed and it had left me with the genuine feeling that I wanted to do more of these. It also made me aware what the career entails. Having had the opportunity to scan and use the phased array probe was a great experience; it allowed me to understand the practical importance of hand-eye coordination that is vital to produce good quality images upon which critical medical decision could be based. I also attended presentations, such as anomaly, harmony testing advances and fetal echocardiology. During my present position I believe that I have ascertained the skills and motivation needed to pursue a career within this field. Working within various areas of the radiology department I...

...evaluate a part of student’s learning styles. (Fleming & Bonwell, 2002, FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)). While VARK is commonly referred to as an analysis of learning styles, that is technically inaccurate. While “learning style”, as the term is generally understood, refers to several different factors such as working with others vs. working alone, physical conditions of the learning environment, and even biorhythms, VARK analyzes only one aspect of learning styles: the way a student receives and communicates information. (Fleming & Bonwell, 2002, FAQs).The term Fleming and Bonwell, among others, use for this aspect of learning style is “sensory modalities.” (2002, FAQs) In conjunction with the questionnaire, VARK provides an analysis of each person’s results identifying the student’s preferred sensory modality as one of the four listed above. (Fleming & Bonwell. 2002,...

...Strategies When a person sits down to learn new information they do not stop to think, “How would I learn this best?” They do what they have done in the past, and the process may have served well, or poorly. Fleming and Mills (1992) “suggested four modalities that seemed to reflect the experiences of the student and teachers”. These modalities are; Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic and are identified by the acronym VARK. Modalities or learning styles “refer to the methods of gathering, processing, interpreting, organizing and thinking about information” (Alkhasawneh, Mrayyan, Docherty, Alashram, & Yousef, 2008) The most effective method of learning occurs when information is presented in a learning style that an individual uses, or that they can adapt to their preferred style. The methods listed above are not absolute, and individuals may use multiple types at a time, and/or may change the way they learn due to experiences or over a period of time. As tempting as it is to make this a simplistic equation it is not, because “life (and work) are multimodal so there are no hard and fast boundaries” (http://vark-learn.com/home/). In the VARK profiles from January 2011 we find that approximately 39% are unimodal, 35% use all four modalities, 14% are bimodal and 12% are trimodal. These same approximate results were found when this questionnaire was used by Alkhasawneh, & et al. (2008) and “were consistent with findings of Murphy et al. (2004)”. A multimodal style appears to be consistent...

...personalised induction takes into account the client’s likes, dislikes, cultural, ethnic and religious background, modality preferences and any phobias, as well as considering the client’s aims for their therapy. It is hard to initially justify not using a personalised induction but this is a simplistic view and does not take into account the risks associated with such personalisation. When an induction is personalised the therapist will take on board as much information as is available in order to tailor the induction and any subsequent treatment to the individual. The language used is of paramount importance and people tend to favour one of three main modalities when listening or speaking. The first of these is kinaesthetic, which refers to the sensation of the body as it moves; kinaesthetic learners like to be physically involved in the learning process, commonly taking notes or using a highlighter in seminars or lectures. They will learn better by carrying out a task as opposed to having it explained to them. During an induction using language that is associated with these types of movement related activities is beneficial, for instance "as you walk into the garden you feel the warm breeze against your face and feel the cool, soft grass under your feet. As you approach the house a feeling of familiarity and calm flows through you". The second modality is auditory; which in its most simple definition is relating to the organs used for hearing. An auditory learner will...

...head: Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm Gift N Onwunali Grand Canyon University: HLT-310V 4/40/2012 Introduction Many people compare healing to cure. In an effort to fully describe the components of “Healing Hospitals: A Daring Paradigm”, how this “Paradigm” might influence our methodology in rendering care and the relationship of the concept to spirituality, it is important that I explain two key terminologies “healing” and “paradigm. Healing is restoration to a maximum health potential. Restoration does not necessarily have to bring something to its original state of affairs. Rather, the functionality can be used for its desired purpose. “When we heal people, we very often notice that the disease may not disappear. Yet, somehow we have the feeling that we did help that person” (Quanten, P. 2002). A paradigm means a certain way of thinking about something that is generally accepted. It can also mean a standard, or a routine method of achieving a result. Sometimes we may declare words such as “model”, “example” and “pattern” as synonymous with paradigm (Swarup, D. 2011). With that, we can then say that the concept of “Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm” is a concept of healing in a revolutionary pattern of care that is not our usual and traditional method of caring but generally accepted. Young and Koopsen indicated that the healing hospital paradigm is a holistic concept that that involves more than just curing a disease process. In the Healing Hospital...

...are working with. How we decide which modality to use on our clients, how important an initial consultation can be and my argument for using personalised screeds. I will discuss the factors involved in creating personalised screeds, and the benefits of creating a personalised screed for clients. Using different modalities and whether a script should be authoritative or permissive. The more personalised hypnotherapy is the more effective it will be, as whilst all of us appear quite similar, we are different in many ways. We have different likes and dislike; come from different cultural backgrounds; and will have been brought up in environments that have provided us with different outlooks, values and perspectives. If the best possible results are to be obtained in a hypnotherapy session there is a need to work closely with individuals in order to identify their likes and dislikes as well as their personality. In this way we can gain their trust and assist them in reaching a deep state of hypnosis. When we communicate with people we do not only use words but body language, with tone also playing a large part in what is actually being communicated. Some people will use words that will assist you in determining which modality would suit them best. For example somebody who would say “looks good to me” shows signs that Visual is a language that suits them best. Below I will list out the modalities and how you can ascertain which modality would best suit a client, or if indeed...

...Healing Hospital – A Daring Paradigm The healing hospital model is a new paradigm that focuses treatment on both the physical and spiritual needs of patients. In fact, it is intent on ensuring that the patient achieves whole body wellness, and not only disease management. As such, it advances the concept that for healing to be complete, the physical needs should be addressed in concurrence with the patient’s spiritual and emotional needs. With regards to the spiritual needs, the concept draws ideas from the Bible. For instance, 1st Corinthians 12:9 clearly indicates that human beings were given the spirit of healing to meet spiritual needs. To achieve this goal, the concept applies three principal components to include, adopting loving care as a culture, meeting physical needs, and an integrated work technology and design. On the other hand, the concept is faced by challenges that hinder its effectiveness and efficiency (Chapman, 2005). This paper discusses the components and difficulties of a healing hospital as a daring paradigm. As earlier indicated, a healing hospital has three principal components. This is because it lays emphasis on the healing environment, ensuring that care provision is not limited to medication and medical procedures, but also to how the patients and their families are involved in the process of treatment. In essence, the concept introduces a new paradigm whereby the body is believed to constitute a spirit, mind and physical form that must be taken...

...the true benefits it has. Many sources claim cryotherapy to have many uses that it really does not have. One of the most common assumptions is that cryotherapy decreases swelling because it is used to often on injuries with swelling, when in fact in does not. Although, one could draw the conclusion that cryotherapy continued use is because of the benefits it has. If it had no effect on the feeling of the patient whatsoever that probably would have stopped the use of cryotherapy a long time ago. It is important to understand the facts when it comes to cryotherapy. Cryotherapy should continue to be used to help with DOMS because of its effects on sensory motor neurons and pain, but it should not be used as a primary treatment to help the healing of musculoskeletal...

...Water therapy is an important part of the current Phoenix camp experience. Therefore, even with a move in the future to a new sight and facility, it is important to keep many of the core features intact for generations to come. Water therapy in particular holds a special place and for good reason. It has numerous positive effects, and deserves a spot to be showcased. Water therapy offers a very unique sensory experience for whoever is participating in it. It expresses an environment of exploration which can be extremely beneficial to a child suffering from traumatic experiences. In the case of the Phoenix center, it gives the children a chance to cool off and play carefree in a safe environment. It also encourages sharing which in turn can benefit both children involved and even those around them.This allows them to develop trust with their peers and form confidence that will ultimately help them face their struggles. It can also benefit handicap children or a child with health or mental issues. The sensations of the water can help with movement and feeling and help boost morale immensely. The Texas hill country region is home to an arid climate that becomes very sultry during the summer months. This can obviously take it toll on anyone that is out in it for too long which is why a water therapy area is needed and certainly welcomed. The facility and camp being near Marble Falls will benefit mightily from a water therapy area like this. It allows for safe playtime and a way...

...This is my season under heaven my time to grow, to struggle, to trust and to fight. This is my time to be born, to be born to be just Kisha not daughter, not sister, not wife, not mom. Those are roles I know how to play. I can resume those roles at a later date, but now it’s time to look into the mirror of my heart. It is time for me to put away the persistent little voice that says “you can not do it”. This is time to only worry about “what I can do”. This is my time to plant the seeds of hope. I choose were to plant and I choose to rejoice in the harvest. This is my time to heal. This is my time for my family to heal. I will always embrace the power of healing. This is my time to tear down fear and walls of regret. I will clear the ground where they once stood and build new bridges that would shelter me from misfortune. No more time for mourning or for weeping I will embrace my life. Now is my time to laugh and smile. I will welcome the humor and absurdity of everyday living. This is my time to dance gracefully. This is my time to see myself through my journal of my life. It is my time to ponder on the bits of memory that this writing process has surprised me with. People, places and feeling that had been long forgotten. This is my time to search my mind, my heart, my soul for the stories that need to be...

...Therapeutic Touch By Chelsie Boyce Let me begin by saying that after watching several videos (including those provided by you) and reading even more articles, I am more mixed about my acceptance of therapeutic touch. Before this assignment I would have said I was strongly against this practice, but now I am more open to the idea. However, I still believe that therapeutic touch is not a true form of medical healing. To begin with, the Merriam-Webster's Medical Desk Dictionary states that this alternative medicine is a practice where the nurse or practitioner treats a patient by passing his or her hands over a person’s body to promote relaxation, pain reduction and or healing. I must say that the thought of someone’s hands hovering over my body kind of makes me giggle. I keep replaying a scene from Karate Kid over and over again in my head and thinking “yea right” if only it were that easy. After reviewing my resources, I am still very skeptical. Yes, some stated that patients believed they were doing better. But to me that was just it… a belief. Those who had a strong faith in this technique did show signs of relaxation and possible improvement, but I am not sure if the technique caused the reaction or the patient themselves invited the result. Just like Emily Rosa’s experiment supported, as nurses or practitioners we want to believe we can feel the energy being given off and that we are interacting with our patient. Yet, more times than not we are wrong. Along...

...Analysis of a Case Study of Trauma in the Workplace By David M. Noy Sr. University of the Rockies Abstract This paper examines a case study performed on an organization merging two business units into a single entity. The result was the employees from the smaller of the units felt a loss of identity, confidence, and of hope and meaning. The organization realized six months after the merger that there were unresolved issues that had traumatized the employees affected by the merger and how the organization worked with the employee to allow healing and the ability to move on and embrace the new direction of the organization. Introduction Trauma is a real thing within the organizational structure and does affect the emotional well-being and perception of the employee and how the employee views the organization. Organizations engage in restructuring all the time and at times the restructuring comes from the top down and the employee must adapt to the restructuring or fail within the new structure of the organization. This organizational restructuring can cause trauma to the employees who are involved with the restructuring. Case Study In today’s society, we read about cases of workplace violence and visibly see the trauma that the victims experience. Unresolved emotional trauma in many organizations blocks peoples’ capacity and ability to perform (de Klerk, 2007). The de Klerk, 2007 case study looks at how mergers, downsizing, outsourcing, restructuring, and continual...

...Healing Hospital Healing: adjective tending to cure or restore to health (Merriam-Webster. 2015). When a person hears the word healing they might only associate the word with physical healing. However, when a Nurse hears the word healing they consider not only the physical person, but their spiritual and emotional wellbeing. Until recent years the Medical community has focused on healing the body and neglected other aspects of a person’s health and wellbeing. Thanks to organizations like Healthy People 2010 a better understanding has occurred, in which now the importance of treating the person as a whole is understood. Efforts to make changes in which a patient is treated are in full effect thanks to this better understanding. However, with all these changes coming to the forefront all at once it has become challenging for the Medical Community. The Purpose of this paper is to illustrate the components of a Healing Hospital and the challenges that come along with implementing those components. Supporting the Physical as well as Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners main focus when treating a patient is to acquire a diagnosis, and then treat or cure that diagnosis then send the patient home. This is all well and good however, they could be potentially leaving out treating the emotional wellbeing of a person. Which could lead to the patient recovering but later on returning for medical attention because either the issue has returned or become worse. For example, a young...
