Just making the decision to see a therapist is difficult because most of our images about the mental health care range from the absurdity of dog psychiatrists to the horror of electroshock therapy According to Dr Kim Openshaw and marriage and family therapist associate professor of family and human development at USU once you make the decision to see a therapist you should choose one as carefully as you would a family doctor Openshaw says you have a right to ask therapists about their credentials how they handle cases and how much the treatment will cost Although confidentiality usually prevents getting former patients for references you can ask for examples of how people with similar problems were treated and how long it took Twelve 50 minute sessions is generaltreatment ly considered Openshaw says This might be an appropriate amount of time to expect to spend on bereavement over the death of a spouse Less goal oriented therapy such as an undetermined onset of depression may take longer He says when looking in the book or telephone asking for a therapist’s credentials you should first understand the different types of therapists available Counselors: This is a rather generic term that can apply to clergy high school guidance counselors drug counselors or job placement services There are however certified clinical mental health counselors (CCMHCs) who must have a master’s or doctorate degree from a certified graduate school program Marriage Counselor: In Utah the proper terminology is “Marriage and Family Therapist” A person in this profession must be licensed by the state of Utah and have a master’s or doctorate from an accredited university marriage and family therapy program Clergy Counselors: Most have no formal training in counseling although most do counseling as part of their ministry Some professional clergy who have graduated from seminaries or theological schools have specialized training in counseling Psychiatric Nurse: This is someone with a degree in nursing specializing in counseling psychotherapy and psychiatric hospitalization This person has a Psychiatrist: degree from a medical school and has a formal completed residency in psychiatry Psychiatrists are qualified to prescribe medication and are licensed to practice by state medical boards Psychologist: They hold a doctoral degree in psychology have completed a formal internship and are licensed Psychologists may specialize in a Particular area of psychological services and can be helpful in assessing and advising about learning disabilities Social Worker: Has a master’s degree in social work (MSW) and is trained in case work group work or A clinical community organization social worker (CSW) specializes in the psychosocial functioning of dividuals families and small groups The CSW- has additional training beyond a master’s degree and L CSW indicates a license to practice Psychoanalyst: Generally a or social psychiatrist psychologist worker who has taken specialized training from a psychoanalytic training institute Consumer I Whether we realize it or not we are all involved in the process of meeting our needs and developing a comfortable level of functioning These “comfort zones” are adjusted almost daily based on the kinds of experiences that occur The end result is that we are in a constant state of development It is this growth process that determines who we are This is where creativity comes in No one is “stuck” at any level We can change Creativity is the making of the new and the rearranging of the old It means exposing ourselves to events and situations that encourage and enable growth With this in mind the following is literally true: We become what we pursue We are what we repeatedly do Since we learn best from our own experiences we need to become engaged in activities that enhance the probability of positive experiences Not all periences will be positive but if you build a good strong foundation and develop along positive guidelines you will reap the benefit of the law of natural consequences And in the long run it will be positive But it’s important to keep active to keep moving When this principle is related to growth opportunities it becomes clear that you can’t learn from experiences you don’t have You can’t coast continually Probably the most important factor in our lives is what we think For some thinking is a lost art For others they seem to suffer from “psychosclerosis” Everything gets clogged up and eventually bogged down Thinking should be a dynamic process that leads somewhere Next we need to believe in ourselves It’s the old prophesy: If you believe you can you will If you believe you can’t you won’t Unless you can believe in yourself no one else will ever place any confidence in you No one will ever "invest” in you Once we have the right “mind set” it’s important that we allow ourselves to dream Not to the point that dreams become our master but rather that they become a motivating companion Dreams allow us to identify and develop the potential we all have deep down inside But dreams are of little value if we fail to dare If we fail to take that chance to stick our neck out when the possibility exists that it will get cut off then we fail to understand the full significance of life A philosopher once wrote that ships are safe in the harbor but then that’s not what ships are made for This seems to apply to each of us Ironically nOt everyone wants to be a master of themselves or anything else They become content with a lesser level of development Some do so because they lack the necessary confidence in themselves others because they are not willing to do what it takes to become a master They lack the necessary discipline and devotion for excellence They fail to rise to the level of their potential And in so doing they create their own destiny CONFIDENTIALLY: Things are not as bad as tney couldn’t be National Medical Laboratory Week National Medical
