Self Awareness and Prescription

Smith is an exceptionally bright student who has been facing a challenging situation as his father is currently imprisoned. Unfortunately, he has not been receiving any support from his relatives, friends, and even some of his acquaintances. Since his father's incarceration, Smith has been experiencing high levels of stress and difficulty in focusing on his school projects and personal life. The weight of these emotions has led him towards depression, and he now yearns for someone to lend a helping hand and guide him towards recovery.

To begin with, it is essential for Smith to recognize the nature of his troubles and understand how they have impacted his life. By acknowledging his unique circumstances and considering the perspectives of others around him, Smith can gain a better understanding of himself. It would be beneficial for him to seek the assistance of a counselor who can help him separate his thoughts and emotions from the external environment. This process will enable him to gain clarity about his true inner challenges and identify the obstacles that have been preventing him from reaching his goals.

Once Smith has identified the root of his problem and understands the factors hindering his progress, a practitioner can encourage him to create a "should-shouldn't" list. This list will allow Smith to make conscious choices about his actions and behavior. It is crucial for the counselor to assess the feasibility and sustainability of the items on the list and determine the level of difficulty in achieving them. Together, they can then develop a realistic time schedule that Smith can follow.

During this process, the counselor should empower Smith to develop his own solutions and resolutions to address his issues. It is important for Smith to take ownership of his journey towards finding peace and satisfaction. By the end of this therapeutic process, Smith will be equipped with his own personalized prescription to attain a state of rest and satisfaction.

In summary, Smith, as a talented student facing hardships due to his father's imprisonment, requires professional guidance to navigate his emotions and regain focus in his life. Through self-awareness, understanding, and the support of a counselor, Smith can develop a clear path forward and work towards finding solace and contentment in his circumstances.
