Stress

Chapter 13-Part 1

When I did the stress test for chapter 13 my stressor score was 5 and my strain score was 0. These scores were both below average in comparison to a typical college student. I think my scores were so low because it is summer, I do not have a job, I do not have a boyfriend, and I am only taking 2 online summer courses. So I really do not have to much on my plate to have a lot of stress, but if it was fall or spring semesters my stressor and strain range would have probably been almost 50! So I do think these results are accurate, considering the current things going on in my life.

Chapter 14-Part 1

When I took the depression test for chapter 14 my score was 3, which is in the non-depressed range. I have never been a depressed person. I am usually very happy and focused. Things do not ever usually upset or bother me so that is probably why my score was so low. I think this test was very accurate! These activities made me realize I am a pretty lucky person because I really have no stress or depression and I know these are awful things to have, so I am thankful.

Chapter 14-Part 2

I think I did amazing as a therapist! I gave all my clients the right information, I got no answers wrong. I really liked this therapy session, I found it fascinating learning about others. I also gained meaningful insight. I learned that other peoples information really helps because they know that person and can tell what has changed in them or what they have been doing. So asking friends and family is very useful when trying to get information. This activity was very hard, it challenges you big time. I realize that I do not want to be a therapist because people have way to many different problems and each with different symptoms. So I think being a therapist is a pretty hard job, and not for me!
