AussieCare provides life stages transition by taking to consideration, “The Stages of the Human Life Cycle“. Our qualified therapists will assist them in manoeuvring their life transition s bearing in mind that each stage is unique.
THE STAGES OF THE HUMAN LIFE CYCLE EXPLAINED
Early Childhood (Ages 3-6): Playfulness – When young children play, they recreate the world anew.
Middle Childhood (Ages 6-8): Imagination – In middle childhood, the sense of an inner subjective self develops for the first time, and this self is alive with images taken in from the outer world and brought up from the depths of the unconscious.
Late Childhood (Ages 9-11): Ingenuity – Older children have acquired a wide range of social and technical skills that enable them to come up with marvellous strategies and inventive solutions for dealing with the increasing pressures that society places on them.
Our Play therapists utilise play therapy is a method of meeting and responding to the mental health needs of children and is extensively acknowledged by experts as an effective and suitable intervention in dealing with children’s brain development. It is generally employed with children aged 3 through 11 and provides a way for them to express their experiences and feelings through a natural, self-guided, self-healing process. As children’s experiences and knowledge are often communicated through play, it becomes an essential vehicle for them to know and accept themselves and others.
Adolescence (Ages 12-20): Passion – The biological event of puberty unleashes a robust set of changes in the adolescent body that reflect themselves in a teenager’s sexual, emotional, cultural, and/or spiritual passion.
In psychology, the identity crisis is the failure to achieve ego identity during adolescence. The term was coined by German psychologist Erik Erikson. AussieCare therapists understand that adolescence stage is the stage of psychosocial development in which identity crisis may occur is called the identity cohesion vs role confusion. During this stage, adolescents are faced with physical growth, sexual maturity, and integrating ideas of themselves and about what others think of them. Adolescents, therefore, form their self-image and endure the task of resolving the crisis of their basic ego identity. For these reasons, our therapists are trained in Trauma Crisis Intervention. The purpose of the TCI system is to provide a crisis prevention and intervention model for residential childcare organisations that will assist in: Preventing crises from occurring, de-escalating potential crises, effectively managing acute crises, reducing potential and actual injury to children and staff, learning constructive ways to handle stressful situations.
Early Adulthood (Ages 20-35): Enterprise – It takes enterprise for young adults to accomplish their many responsibilities, including finding a home and mate, establishing a family or circle of friends, and/or getting a good job.
Midlife (Ages 35-50): Contemplation – After many years in young adulthood of following society’s scripts for creating a life, people in mid-life often take a break from worldly responsibilities to reflect upon the deeper meaning of their lives, the better to forge ahead with a new understanding
Mature Adulthood (Ages 50-80): Benevolence – Those in mature adulthood have raised families, established themselves in their work-life, and become contributors to the betterment of society through volunteerism, mentorships, and other forms of philanthropy.
Transitioning to adulthood, manoeuvring midlife crisis and reaching mature adulthood can be very hard and challenging. AussieCare therapists will assist our customers from early adulthood to mature adulthood utilising Person-Centred Therapy.
Person-centred therapy uses a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their solutions. The therapist acts as a compassionate facilitator, listening without judgement and acknowledging the client’s experience without moving the conversation in another direction. The therapist is there to encourage and support the client and to guide the therapeutic process without interrupting or interfering with the client’s process of self-discovery. Anyone who would be better off gaining more self-confidence, a stronger sense of identity, and the ability to build healthy interpersonal relationships and to trust his or her own decisions could benefit from person-centred therapy.
