Counceling
Storyboard Text
- Hello everyone, and welcome to the group today. I'm Ivy, and I'm the occupational therapist. It would be great if everyone could go around and introduce themselves.
- And my name is Charles.
- My name is Earl.
- Hello, my name is Raecia.
- In today's group, we'll talk about your desires to change your lives in order to improve your self-management skills. Explain why you want or don't want to begin taking your medication. Because you are in the early stages of wanting to change (Precontemplation), we will discuss the benefits of taking your medication and how it can affect your participation in your daily life.
- Self-management refers to your ability to apply what you have learned in treatment to your daily lives. It is critical to be able to manage and cope with symptoms in order to participate in your day, especially if you have a lifelong illness. Today, we'll talk about the effects of medication and how you can use that knowledge to help you with the change process in the future.
- I agree with Raecia and Earl, I don't believe medication would help me or what it is for.
- Can everyone go around and express their thoughts on starting their medication?
- I don't believe there is anything wrong with me, and my doctor knows nothing about me or what I require.
- I'm not sure I want to start taking my medication, my friend is on it and says it makes her tired.
- My medication, I was told, can help me focus, which could help me do better at work.
- I'm hearing a lot of reservations about the medication you've been prescribed. Does anyone have any ideas about the advantages of their medication?
- My doctor said the same thing that Raecia's doctor said to her. But I don't believe it. There is nothing wrong with me.
- My doctor says I'll feel less depressed if I start taking my medication.
- I'm glad you were able to see the benefits of possibly starting your medication. I'm going to give you a worksheet that will show you how taking your medication can affect your ability to participate in your day.
