- 2. PSYCHODYNAMIC PERSPECTIVE, BECAUSE YOUR BEHAVIORIS CONNECTED TO YOUR UPBRINGINGS. Psychodynamic perspective is a way of studying systematically at human behavior, feelings, and emotions, and how they could connect to childhood upbringings. It is psychology that focuses on entering an individual’s mind – contrast to behavioral psychology which studies behavior due to environment. Sigmund Freud is the founder of the approach and he rationalized that a person’s darkest secrets could be revealed through them by tapping into their own ‘soul’ with concentration. This explanation reveals why I confined in therapists and very close friends to share my secrets or fears to. Things I didn’t realize I even felt arose from this hidden level of psychodynamic perspective one finds when keying into themselves.

- 4. Ainsworth “Strange Situation”is the second topic I thought was also very important. I have plenty of younger cousins and have babysat children before. I already picked up that many children have attachment issues when they are young. I know plenty of teens even know that become stressed when they are separated from their parents for too young. Ainsworth “Strange Situation” explains the relationship between attachment and proximity. Babies aren’t comfortable exploring until they feel secure and many times their source of comfort is their mothers/caretakers. This applies to my life because I now understand that the hesitation many kids feel without their caretakers is normal and considered relatively healthy.

- 5. OUR BRAINS ARELIKE COMPUTERS, ENCODING MEMORIES The three types of encoding are what makes all the information people process to be scanned, remembered, and cataloged. The types are visual, acoustic, and semantic encoding. Encoding is the inputting of information into our memory banks. Visual encoding is learning by remembering or creating a picture in your head. Acoustic encoding is learning through sound. Semantic is encoding by learning key terms by recalling the personal meaning of each fact. These types of encoding apply to my life as a student because when I’m studying for a test, I may want to use visual encoding to remember the subject. I can do this by drawing a picture with the terms or things I need to remember. When it is time to take my exam, I can remember my picture and see it in my brain.
- 6. STRESS – THESILENT KILLER WITH THE MOST SOLUTIONS Learning about the topic of stress I think was really important, especially to teens like me. Stress is a psychophysiological reaction to life events, meaning its impact is felt by both the mind and the body. That’s so interesting because it shows that life really is just a continuous chain and that everything is connected in some way. Understanding stress is important for me because now that I know the symptoms, I can identify it quicker rather than avoid it. Now when I’m stressed out, I comprehend what is happening to my body and I can help myself relax. High stress levels are dangerous but now I better understand how to deal with it and cope.
- 7. PSYCHOTHERAPY – THE TREATMENTTHAT WORKS In psychotherapy, psychologists help people work through their problems and/or disorders. They use scientific approaches – such as cognitive- behavioral, and humanistic. Through psychotherapy, people of all ages can be happier, become healthier, and lead more productive lives. I’ve used psychotherapy and drug therapy to help cope with my disorder. I believe that everyone should go to any kind of therapy because the benefits are completely worth it.
