Blog 21: Exit Interview

(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers?  What is your best answer and why?

• What type of therapy is most successful in finding coping mechanisms for personally-conflicted clients? My best answer is Individual Therapy because it regard  focus on strengths rather than focusing on the weakness. The main point of it is to solve general problems in life or moralities. Without pondering too much upon what you could have done. And think about what you can do. People can use this for everyday situations, projects and to reach goals. And is a very positive way to build even stronger selves through sheer belief in our own abilities.

(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?

• My mentor was the one who brought this up. One time I was really down and I didn’t know what to do anymore. She told me to focus on finding solutions and imagine what to do if I didn’t have anything to hold me back. So I did and I eventually made it through. I then researched this form of therapy and based my answer off of it.   

(3) What problems did you face?  How did you resolve them?

• Over the course of the Senior Project and the Senior year in general, I’ve always stumbled on making everything aesthetically pleasing. I never really turn in work I would consider less and it became my setback in my work. It accumulated into many more pieces of work I needed to do and I eventually broke down, on many occasions. Luckily, my psychologist happened to help me on these times and I was able to work on. Though I’m still behind with sorts of things.

(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?

• My mentor to me is my most important source. She was the one who provided me my answers to my confusion, she also provided my books that I used to collect research, my interviewees, and my own moral support. The second most important source is a book, lent to me from my psychologist. It’s called Themes and Variations of Psychology 5th Edition by Wayne Weiton. This helped me find varieties and ideas of different types and ranges of fields regarding my topic.
