My Personal Beliefs

My personal belief about human nature and behavior change as always been that people react according to the problems they face in their life and decisions that they make. The reaction people have are what create a bad or good consequences. Working in public schools has really taught me that not everyone grew up with their mother and father under the same roof like I did. I know can see that people make decisions that they think will bring happiness to themselves, think is the best decision they can make at that time, and might have not been taught that what they are doing is wrong. I believe that people are inhererently good. Greed and hate are taught and learned by people and not a feeling we are born with. Meeting different people has

I had both of my parents and four siblings that were very supportive. My parents supported me in all my extracurricular activities and I was happy. When it was time to go to college, I did not even think of leaving my family. So, I decided to commute daily and live at home. For the next four years I travelled 30 minutes daily, but I did not mind. In May of 2014, my now husband purposed and I was genuinely excited, but then I was struck with the realization that I would move five hours away from my family. I could not bare the thought, but I knew it was part of life. After a year, we built a house, got married, moved in, and as a teacher I was off all summer. After a few weeks, I started to feel lonely, depressed and with too much time in my hands. I had not family in this new town, much less friends. I felt a deep void, started losing weight, and unsatisfied with my life. The situation became worse because I would keep all my emotions to myself and all those emotions began to build up inside. In addition to moving away, I was also getting used to being married and facing the changes marriage brings. The problem that I am facing now is getting used to being alone and away from my family. I love my husband and enjoy being his wife, but I also dislike being away from my family. Every time that I have the opportunity to go see my family I do, but with work, school and life, it is harder for me to go see them. Through time, it has gotten easier, but every now and then I become very upset. The approach that I could use is Roger’s, Person Centered Therapy.

In this approach the therapist is an active listener and tries to understand the issues and emotions the client is facing. I like this approach because it gives clients the
