Wow this weeks assignment on using props is fascinating. It would have been nice to have had a shield as a child and into my teenage years. ALthough i grew up with loving parents. There were issues. My parents were extremely critical, and out of all my siblings I am the most sensitive. Over the years I have toughened up, but it has not been easy. I know they meant well for the most part, but it was their words, tone and delivery. What I could've done with a shield back then. Oh well.
The Styrofoam Cup Prop
For this week's multisensory assignment I used the styrofoam cup, for holes in self-esteem. My client is a friend that i know is experiencing low-self esteem, and feeling frustrated. Recently she became the caretaker of her

Once my client Sonya finished poking numerous holes of various size in the cup her first words were that felt good, like a release. I ask her if the size of the holes resonated with her in any way? SHe said perhaps, but mainly she felt that she was venting her frustrations with herself and her mother-in-law. I ask her, what felt good about this experiment? SOnya stated that punching holes in the cup, is a way for her to get out of her system what she wants to say to her mother-in-law but cannot express. Sonya also indicated that although she does not care much for her mother-in-law she recognizes that her husband is all she has left. The mother-in-law’s husband passed away a couple of years ago, along with her only grandson, three years ago. My client’s husband, and his sister is all her mother-in-law has …show more content…
She said yes, but would want to work on building her self-esteem. I explained to her, that in a client-therapist relationship i would help empower her to realize her strengths, talents, and other areas in her life as well as her role as a care-taker. Sonya, my client indicated that as she continues to reflect on the styrofoam cup experiment it is making her think about how she feels about herself, mother-in-law and husband. She went on to say that she is feeling a little angry over the situation, in that she has no life of her own. Very interesting. I wonder if I would have been able to pull that thought out of her without the use of a prop. Overall, it was an interesting
Sense perception is a way to gain information by using our sense: touch, feel, taste, see, hear, and smell, it is a way of knowing. When it comes to ways of knowing, like sense perception, it is questionable whether or not it affects us in a positive or negative way. It can be argued if it is leading us in the wrong direction. If you see it, do you believe it?

My object to write about is a Cal Ripken stuffed face baseball toy. Yes, it is a stuffed face about the size of a woman’s hand of Cal Ripken, the famous baseball player. It is called a Silly Slammer. You delicately hand it to a child and they throw it at the ground with incredible force. Low and behold it cries out. The pitch… Cal hits a deep one into left field. It’s way back and over the wall. Home run Cal Ripken! The Orioles take the lead 3 to 1. The crowd goes crazy and my two children are laughing and rolling on the floor. Then jump up and dive at the floor with all their determination to win the prize of throwing it at the floor again.

So what is ASMR? ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response – a very complicated term for the pleasurable and relaxing tingling sensations in the scalp, the back of the neck, and even the rest of the body in response to vision and auditory stimuli.
Sensory receptors detect when a hot spoon touches your skin which is caused by the sensory input. Once the receptors feel the input the nervous system decides what to do about it; this is integration. Motor output is what is done about the input, whether you scream or jerk away from the hot spoon. So the response that you get from the integration is the motor output when is acts upon the body.
It makes up a majority of the human body, covers a majority of our planet, and is in limited supply in California at the moment. Can you guess what it is? Water! Water is the life-giving substance that nourishes our bodies as well as the plant life here on Earth. Almost all of us have sat next to a quietly babbling brook, listening to the sounds, feeling the cool breeze blowing over the water, and watching as it rippled over the stones. Some of the happiest summer memories are those of diving through cold ocean waves, and feeling the water rush around us. Water is such a powerful force, and it widely known for its life-giving properties.
Everyone has some special tangible object with importance to them, for me it’s my Jackson guitar. Being that it was given to me by my uncle who had bought the guitar and additional separate components to do his own repairs, for me it took on an early importance. Though to this day I haven’t exactly had the guitar for an extended period, its unique appearance and tone quickly made it a staple of my everyday life.
I refuse to give up the luxury of creeping into my mother’s soft, caramel colored arms and telling her things that I would like to cleanse out of my mind as she stokes my head, back, or arm in a relaxing motion. I cannot think of any way I would have made it through fourth grade as students in my school who were a constant nuisance teased me, without having the option of being in my mother’s arms and feeling secure, elated, free, and loved. I have lived in multiple places, my house in Kenya, where I felt like a little princess in a little kingdom, my grandmother’s house where I was constantly spoiled and felt loved, or even my previous residence, where I felt complete. All these places hold great personal value, yet at the same time, they remind me that the places only existed through my mother, and essentially she is all I have in my life. I will admit, material objects do sometimes cloud my judgement or even hide my true feelings toward the one place that will be important above all others, yet I will never forget my mother’s arms which have molded me into the person I currently am. Just think about it, isn’t it better to cry in your mother’s arms as oppose to a stranger’s shoulder as a young
In terms of characters and characterization (versus plot and theme), A Farewell to Arms is the story of Lieutenant Frederic Henry and the way he grows and changes, lives and learns, in order to catch up to the Nurse Catherine Barkley with respect to experience and the wisdom that it brings. Especially considering that Ernest Hemingway has been accused of misogyny, it is fascinating to note that Catherine is the more mature of the two characters when they meet; therefore, it is Henry who must struggle to match her level of maturity. Returning from his leave near the start of the novel, Henry knows he should have traveled to the priest's home region of Abruzzi, a "place where the roads were frozen and hard as iron, where it was clear and cold
