Hi, I’m Jessica Reid. cALL ME JAE.

I was in my 40’s and had no idea what I was doing with my life. Seems a little late to start something new, or maybe it was perfect. I had a passion, finding healing.

Prioritizing my mental health and seeing the value reflected in my life in the form of peace and joy. I want to help others, pass on the passion to come out of anxiety and depression, and into something life-giving. Translating this into life work meant education. Getting a master’s degree in psychology to understand all the facets of schooling. I went to a Christian University, as incorporating God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit were of the highest importance to me.

Psychology Theories, we will walk through their application to you personally and their relevance to healing. Here are the Theories we will walk through:

VYGOTSKY’S THEORIES:

Culture and social influences on our cognitive functioning. Have these aided or hindered?

ALLPORT THEORIES:

Personality, Cardinal, central, and secondary traits.

DESCARTES THEORIES:

The mind creates doubt, thinking, and debating, and how the body responds to the mind.

BROCA THEORIES:

The brain functions relating to our abilities.

JAMES & THORNDIKE THEORIES:

Habits are ruts formed in the brain to create the same action to occur repeatedly. Emotions are a response to sensations, connected to habitual functioning. Selective consciousness.

PAVLOV THEORY:

Unconditioned and conditioned stimulus creates responses in us in relationships, or behavioral actions.

WATSON THEORY:

How to create an emotional response to your view.

MASLOW’S HIERARCHY:

Seeking self-actualization, where is safety and security in relation to all areas of living?

SKINNER THEORIES:

When conditioning and reinforcing behaviors we have formed, we need to acknowledge these to break these behavioral habits.

JUNG THEORIES:

What is your self-perception? Is it what is perceived by others’ view of you, or do you view yourself as your actual self? How are you energized, intra or extra?

HORNEY THEORIES:

Anxiety, did parents attribute to it, is it a defense mechanism? Has it now become ingrained as part of personality? The goal is secure, tolerant, loving, and respectful relationships.

PIAGET’S LEARNING:

We learn through pieces of information called schema, attaching them together to form the views we have (positive or negative) called assimilation. Can we change this schema?

BANDURA’S THEORY:

We learn from others’ behavior. Children learn from their parents/adults, coworkers learn from other coworkers or leadership. Someone establishes the behavior, but that doesn’t mean that it is the correct behavior. Can we change it from a negative behavior to a positive?
