Building Personal Resilience: A Guide to Positive Living
Gilmour Psychologists created an e-book encompassing a guide to overcoming stress in our lives. Topics covered include stress at work, children and divorce, couples conflict, depression, addictions, substance abuse, ADD and workplace diversity.
Dealing with Parent Child Conflict
Parent child conflict involves a struggle or opposition between a parent (s) and his/her offspring. The child wants his/her way and the parent is determined to have his/ her way. Indeed it can involve a single isolated incident or a series of situations. Oftentimes, the parent believes that what ever he/she says to their child, the child will be in direct
contrast. The power struggle can become exceedingly challenging especially when one has a child who is adolescent.
For a start let us look at your parental style of discipline to determine where conflict and tension may be coming from. Depending on your parental style and your own belief system, there are messages that
your child learns from the interactions.
What is your belief system and what is your child learning from you? How does this belief system influence your behaviour and interactions with your child? How does this belief system contribute to the parent child conflict?
Problem solving strategies between parent and child are important to develop.Sometimes the conflict is such that the communication between the parent and child is so strained that the two parties cannot communicate and problem solve together. Seeking professional help from a counselor can be beneficial to bridge this gap.
The role of the counselor in working in the area of parent/child conflict is not to be the decision-maker to settle the disputes. Refining parenting and communication skills is the focus of therapy.
Recognizing and Dealing with ADHD
During the past two decades, parents and educators have been referring increasing
numbers of children to mental health professionals for assessment and treatment of
Attention Deficit /Hyperactivity Disorder as there has been a growing recognition that
this disorder can, if untreated, lead to adjustment difficulties both at home and school.
Helping Children Adjust: Custody and Access Issues
Not uncommonly, parents who separate or divorce are in conflict and have experienced
a breakdown in communication.
Not surprisingly then, they often cannot come to an
agreement between themselves on the tender matter of the custody and access of their
children. In these instances, parents may consult lawyers to help them negotiate a
formal and legally binding agreement with regard to custody and access matters.
Managing Stress at Home and Work
The symptoms of stress can take several forms: physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and interpersonal.
It is important to look at the effect or impact that stress has on your work and home life. Being able to learn appropriate strategies to handle the various stressors is an important function of the role of the professional.
Living Free from Alcohol Addictions
Many fine people of all ages have become addicted or dependent on alcohol or some other chemical, prescribed or not. The focus of this chapter is on alcohol but the self-destructiveness and damage to oneself and one’s lifestyle are similar.
Alcohol Dependency is indicated when people develop a tolerance to alcohol and experience withdrawal symptoms. Tolerance is defined as requiring more and more of the chemical in order to obtain the desired high or “buzz”. Withdrawal is defined as feeling hung over or ill when not taking the drug of choice for 4 to 12 hours.
This chapter gives some real life vignettes of some the different types of people who develop drinking problems illustrating different drinking patterns that spell alcohol dependency. It defines alcoholism and gives some quizzes that allow self-assessment, such as: How Can You Tell if You Have a Drinking Problem? and Who Should Not Drink?
This chapter also explains low risk drinking guidelines and what to do if you think that you may have a problem.
Resolving Couples Conflict
Gilmour psychologists wrote this chapter on resolving couples conflict. Many couples participate in marriage or couples counselling to help improve the communication in their relationship
Depression at Work and Home
The purpose of this chapter is to provide a guide to the signs and symptoms of a major depressive disorder.
Use the information in this chapter to help identify signs of depression which you may be experiencing and to help you take charge of your illness and formulate the best treatment plan.
A case study is provided that illustrates depression related to ‘job burn-out’; and the causes of depression are outlined, as well as a symptom checklist.
The diagnostic criteria of depression are outlined as are various treatment modalities and the differences among various treatment providers.
