The History of England, from the Invasion of Julius caer

Introduction
Twenty-one-year-old Julius despises the appearance he has and has a low opinion of himself.
Due to Julius's low self-esteem, he is unable to look for work. Because Julius's mother is
worried about his son’s mental health and potential joblessness, he's persuaded him to go to
counselling.
The following is a rundown of the meetings. To make it easier to write, the title "Professional
Counselor" is shortened. Julius was encouraged to open up about his feelings in the first
session by the professional counsellor (Sniderman, 1983). To help Julius, the Professional
Counsellor posed open-ended questions and then affirmed them as he answered them. Julius's
professional counsellor was able to gain some insight into his past and create a rapport with him
during this session.
Essential Case Information
Julius, a 21-year-old who has battled with his weight his whole life, has finally found a solution.
When he was a kid, he was called "fatty" and the other kids would avoid him because they didn't
play with him (Sniderman, 1983). In high school, the teasing became more subtle, but it was still
present. Julius had a hard time making friends and was regularly left out of social gatherings
(Sniderman, 1983).
Despite Julius' mother’s best efforts, the taunts persisted throughout the home (Stavrou, 2018).
"Why don't you go on a diet," or "what are you eating it for, it's only going to leave you heavier,"
were common phrases from Julius' fathom (Sniderman, 1983). To make things even worse, his
older brother was highly athletic, making the situation even more awkward.
In the last few months, Julius has seen a dramatic improvement in his situation. A new
relationship with such a man (Ellie) and a new exercise regimen helped him lose roughly 10
pounds. Julius's self-esteem plummeted after a short-lived relationship that left him feeling
worse rather than better (Sniderman, 1983). This woman claims that his ex-boyfriend broke their
relationship because he's big, which he takes full responsibility for. After additional questioning
by Julius, he couldn't recall a time when Ellie had ever been critical of his appearance
(Sniderman, 1983).
Their poor self-esteem of Julius makes it difficult for him to look for work since he believes "who
is ever planning to employ me (Stavrou, 2018)?" His friends had stopped phoning him because
they think he is always criticising them, Julius said. It's not uncommon for Julius to spend the
majority of his waking hours at home and contemplate his ugliness in the mirror (Stavrou, 2018).
For the time being, keep in mind that Julius's weight is within a normal range for their age and
height (Sniderman, 1983).
However, as an adult, Julius must realise that he has the potential to improve his self-image and
that the foundation for his low self-esteem was laid in his early years (Stavrou, 2018). As a result,
at the start of the second session, Professional Counselor emphasised how Julius may benefit
from taking personal charge of his self-esteem, despite the influence others may have had. His

dedication to self-improvement was fostered by the counsellor, who urged him not to blame
others for his problems (Stavrou, 2018).
A person's self-perception can be either good or negative, or it might fluctuate in the middle
(Lillie, 2002). The stronger your self-esteem, the more positive your feelings about yourself are;
the lower your self-esteem, the more negative your feelings are (Lillie, 2002).
It will be helpful to concentrate on the individual's needs if the counsellor uses person-centred
counselling. In this method, the therapist or counsellor tries to see things from the client's point
of view (Hales, 2012). The counsellor must treat the client as a whole person, valuing them in all
areas of their humanity. To help someone feel accepted and understand better their feelings,
this is essential. In other words, it helps them reconnect with their inner values as well as a
sense of worth (Hales, 2012). To help them move on, they reconnect with their inner resources.
A cognitive-behavioural therapist can help you identify and correct negative self-beliefs,
erroneous assumptions, and other kinds of mental blockage (Eremie & Chikweru, 2015).
Psychotherapy treatment Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) provides a practical, hands-on
approach to resolving problems in a short period. People's challenges can be alleviated by
altering their thoughts or conduct, which in turn affects their emotions (Hales, 2012).
Julius was then advised by a professional counsellor to create standards and ignore those who
tell him what he "should" or "shouldn't" do or look like (van Zyl et al., 2006). Even though Julius's
father was a glaring perpetrator, the professional counsellor noted the influence of modern
social expectations on young people, particularly ladies (van Zyl et al., 2006). Because the perfect
woman is so thinly portrayed in publications and on television, the normal woman who
compares himself to these models will feel like an outcast in society. Julian confessed to
reading popular publications in his leisure time, but he agreed to quit doing so for a while (van
Zyl et al., 2006).
Finally, Julius was asked by the Professional Counselor what he would like to alter about
himself to improve his self-esteem. By losing weight and gaining greater self-confidence, Julius
was able to acquire a job and spend time with his friends (van Zyl et al., 2006).
CBT principles were introduced to Julius's counsellor in the following session to help him
change his negative thinking. He described how telling himself he was ugly as well as
overweight just reinforced his poor self-image and low self-esteem. As a result, Julius needed to
become aware of and resist his unhelpful negative self-talk if he wanted to improve his self-
esteem.
Julius was advised by a professional counsellor to utilise a technique known as Thought
Stopping, and he explained to him exactly how it works. According to Julius' professional
counsellor, when he looks inside the mirror and thinks to himself, "I'm fat and unattractive," he
needs to recognise that this is unhelpful and stop thinking about it. A professional counsellor
explained to him how even stating "STOP" out loud can help him become more conscious of his
negative thought habits (Koutra et al., 2010).
