The summary
After going through my resume, I understand that the issues raised by Alex were affected by the information read on the resume. To begin with, Alex decided to choose my services due to a long working history and previous experience in several fields, which has made me handle patients with various psychological and mental issues. My history of employment clearly shows that I have dealt with patients with psychological problems, which showed Alex that I am fully capable of helping her to heal from her condition.
She first begins by explaining that she has been suffering from some psychological issues since 7th grade and that she required help from an expert. This shows that she has been attracted by my resume’s statement that, “Professional on diagnosis, identification and treatment of a psychological disorder.” The second explanation that made her choose my services was because of the statement that I can diagnose a problem using DSM-IV. Which do psychologists use a technique to explain traits and the classification of different mental issues.
Lastly is where she identifies that during the college level, she never knew where to obtain finances to purchase food or pay her bills. She never wanted to share this problem with her parents since they expected her to be cunning. It is clear that she wanted me to talk to her parents; this may be explained by the statement on the resume that, “Family, relatives and friends counseling to help them in coping and caring for one of their members with mental issues.” she has realized that her parents required someone to talk to them.
