Getting Through Grief with Grief Counseling

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Grief Counseling Gets Us Through Our Grief

Loss is something that we all go through, but it is always unexpected no matter how long we have had to prepare for it. Certain relationships in our lives are just so important that the death of one of the people can wreak havoc on the emotional state of the other. Death is not something that the human mind can comprehend, and sadness can threaten to take over a life and turn into the kind of chronic depression that debilitates a person. When you have lost a loved one and are finding that your sadness is becoming a depression that you just can not shake and if it is getting in the way of your every day activities, then it may be time to explore things with a grief counselor. This is a counselor who is specially trained  in grief counseling to help people express their sadness and work through it without rushing them.

Grief counseling courses help with grieving

Grief counseling courses

Grief counseling courses can be very helpful if you have suffered the loss of a friend or family member. It can be hard to process the emotions that are associated with grief. Grief counseling courses can help you find your way through the grief so that you can move on with your life. It is important to take the courses seriously and embrace what they have to teach you. Everyone processes grief differently so it takes time to deal with what has happened. You can find these courses online and many hospitals hold them for people. It is a good idea for parents to get their children these courses because young children often have problems with processing their emotions. It can be beneficial for children to be able to talk about how they are feeling with a neutral third party so that they can communicate what they are going through and get some closure.
If you are interested in taking grief counseling courses, then please review.  Qualified professionals can achieve certification after completion of the core grief counseling courses.

What exactly is Hypnosis?

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a trance like state of mind.

Hypnosis refers to a trance-like condition, which is usually induced by a hypnotherapist. In this condition, a person experiences a heightened sense of focus and is more receptive to suggestions. A hypnotist can therefore help the person to gain control over undesirable behaviors, emotions and perceptions. If a person wishes to undertake hypnosis training, there are various academies and institutions that offer such training. These institutions are normally licensed and approved by the relevant authorities. In some cases, they are licensed by state education departments. A good program will be approved for its students to become certified in hypnosis. Hypnosis is mainly used for behavioral modification, enabling people to cope with certain medical conditions. It has been used in the treatment of various conditions such as phobias and obsessions. Hypnosis has also been used in helping people to stop smoking, while it has also been effective in facilitating weight loss. Doctors also use hypnosis for pain management, particularly with terminally ill patients.

How Case Management Training Can Help You Reach That Next Level!

Case management training
It’s no secret! Case management training is great!

Case managers play an important role in the physical, mental and social well-being of many people today. They may take many forms, from the social worker helping a disadvantaged child find services to a person helping coordinate medical and social support services for the developmentally disabled. However, one of the most common types of case manager is the medical one. These professionals generally work in a hospital or hospice setting and are responsible for coordinating care and seeking out options for an ill or injured patient. They are also responsible for patient advocacy. In other words, they speak up on their patients’ behalf in order to get the best care possible. Case management training is typically offered to Registered Nurses, although other individuals may qualify as well. A good case manager should be certified by a professional board and pursue continuing education in order to maintain their certification. Case managers provide a valuable service in today’s healthcare system.
If you feel you have what it takes to become a case manager then you need to find a way to fulfill your educational goals.   You should start your quest at aihcp.org.   They have an excellent online case management program.

Holistic nursing can teach us a lot about healthy habits.   Little changes that we can do to keep us health, sometimes wealthy, and more than often wise.   We are going to talk about the healthy and wise parts today.   There is a group of fruits and vegetables known as the “Dirty Dozen” and it is not because they are led by Lee Marvin.   These are the most pesticide ridden fruits and vegetables.   The chemicals in this group have been found to cause neurodevelopmental problems in children and infants.   This alone defeats the purpose of eating healthy to begin with!

Holistic Nursing “Dirty Dozen” List

The article, “Dirty Dozen: EWG Reveals List Of Pesticide-Heavy Fruits And Veggies”, Source: Huffington POst

“What could be purer than a single ingredient?
As health-minded consumers work to avoid processed meals and turn their focus to whole foods, we may find ourselves picking up fruits and veggies more often. The average American currently eats about 100 pounds of fresh produce per year, but that number could be a lot higher.”

For the full list and article please go here.

Holistic nursing suggests that you always try and purchase certified organic produce from this list.    Holistic nutrition does you no good if you are contaminating your body with pesticides.   If you cannot find these fruits and vegetables organically near you then ALWAYS make sure you wash them before use.

Christian Fatherhood

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

A Christian Father Teaches and Guides His Children with Love and Patience

The beauty of Fatherhood is celebrated in June in a day of thanksgiving to all living and deceased fathers.  While some may have little memories of their father or may have not had the blessing of a good father and role model in their life, the ideals of what a father should be is clearly listed within the Christian tradition.  A father while always the disciplinary is also the protector, provider and teacher of the Christian family.  Yet within this profound vocational call, a true father does no rule with fear but respect as he gently teaches and guides his children with a tender love and patience.  With the strength and power of a lion, a Christian father also possesses the most meek and tender touch and love for his children.
The Christian father’s ultimate paradigm is St. Joseph, who protected and provided for the Holy Family.  In Christ’s early years, he was the standard and role model for the human nature of Christ to emulate and imitate.  No man has ever been called to a greater honor than St. Joseph.  It was to St. Joseph the task to mentor the young Christ in the ways of the temporal world.  While little is mentioned in Scripture of Joseph’s and Jesus’ relationship, we can with certitude believe that it was a model father and son relationship.  Of course, Joseph’s was not the biological father of Christ, but this does not take away from his fatherhood of Jesus.

Jesus’ divine Father was not the biological father of Christ either but a symbolic relation between the Father and Son found in the Holy Trinity.  Yet, again, Christian Fatherhood finds another paradigm in God the Father.  Through the analogy of  fatherhood, the love of the Creator is shown to mankind.  God the father, as father of Israel, guided, taught and loved his children.  As a father, he also on numerous times reprimanded his sinful children, but his love was so great that he would not leave his children to die but would send the 2nd Person of the Trinity and die for his own children.  Of course it was not the 1st Person who died on the cross, but since the substance of God is shared equally between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we can say God did die for his children on the cross.   With such love, does a father love his own children!
Jesus also taught that it is through himself that we may know the Father.  The idea of the 1st Person as a father was emphasized by Christ.  Only three times in the Old Testament is God referred as a father but in the New Testament, the 1st Person is referred to father over two-hundred times.  Jesus refers to his father as “Abba” which in Aramaic means father, or more closely translated, “daddy”.  Through this teaching, Christ wanted mankind to know that God is a father.  While God is still an omnipotent being and the creator of the universe, he still wanted people to approach God as a child.  It is truly amazing to think that Christ would reveal the great Majesty and King, as also our Father.    This did not mean we should not bow and worship the most Omnipotent One, but it does show that his love for us is so great that he sees us as children and not subjects.  This is fatherhood–authority with love.
The best way Christ illustrated the fatherhood of God over his creation was in the parable of the Prodigal Son.  Here we find an ungrateful son, who spurns his father, wastes his inheritance and begs for his father’s forgiveness.  As we all know in the story, the father embraces his son, dresses him in the finest linens, slays the fatten cow and has a great celebration that his son returned.  In this story, one can see the true love and mercy a father shows his children.  The love a father shows to his children is one embedded with power but yet also mercy.

I would like to close with one last aspect regarding the fatherhood of God but in relation to God’s fathership with Christ.  While this closing segment is less pastoral and more theological, I think it is important to understand.  While we cannot look at Christ as two separate individuals, but one person, sometimes it is good to analyze the components of Christ.  First, Christ as God is only Son in relation to the Father. Christ as a co-sharer in the divine nature, the ideal of fatherhood and sonhood is relational and analogous.  The human nature of Christ, however, is a unique situation where a created person with his own soul was fused to the 2nd Person of the Trinity.  In this regard, within the Hypostatic Union of Christ, there truly does exist a fatherhood and sonhood.  I find this very beautiful and in this way, Christ shares his father with us.
Happy Fathers day and may all fathers emulate the values of true fatherhood that is found in our God, and in St. Joseph.

Role of a Forensic Nurse in Criminal Justice

The Role Forensic Nursing plays in Criminal Justice

Role of a Forensic Nurse
Role of a Forensic Nurse in Criminal Justice

There is a specific role of a forensic nurse and forensic nurses to play in the criminal justice field. Frequently, certified forensic nurses handle the difficult job of treating sexual assault victims and collecting evidence. In many cases, this career field will attract college-educated female nurses. However, with the increased recognition of underserved male assault victims, more men are expected in the profession. The female forensic nurse bridges is an important gap between clinical medicine and laboratory science. Genetic technology can help identify and prosecute criminals like never before. At the same time, this evidence can often clear an innocent party. A certified forensic nursing specialist will be on-site when the victim arrives at the hospital. He or she will try to gather genetic evidence and provide comfort to the patient. As a recognized court expert, the nurse may be asked to testify at a criminal trial. Courts increasingly recognize nurse experts just as they do detectives.

How a Stress Management Certificate can Help Relief Your Stress.

A stress management certificate can teach you ways to reduce stress.

I am an office manager at a big company and we have several heated arguments over the last few months. We are going through contract negotiations and things are very stressful. I would like to find a neutral stress management certificate that would help us all relax and get down to business. There is never an advantage to being all stressed out and it is not real good for a person’s health. I would like have a moderator come in to calm things down. I want us all to be able to be civil with each other and get this contract signed. I want this over with so we can get back to work as usual. We are losing a lot of productivity because of how stressed out people are. I know that I am having trouble getting my work done because I am so stressed out from the situation.

Stress Management Program

How a Stress Management Program can Help Social Workers.

I’m a social worker and I want to incorporate stress management into my work. So many of the people I work with come to me with enormous amounts of stress and I want to do what I can to help them. They have so many issues to deal with in their lives. Many of them are unemployed, all of them are poor, and most of them have broken families. It’s hard for my clients to keep it all together and not take out their stress on other people and I would really like to be able to help them cope with it all. I would be a much better social worker if I could do this. If found out about a stress management program that I can take online. My job is so busy that I can’t go to a physical school but I could find the time to do it online.
