When a judge hands someone a sentence

of time on probation,

the individual often has

major issues to sort out.

Probation officers and

correctional treatment specialists

help people on probation get reestablished

in a positive direction,

and avoid further trouble.

These officers and specialists

work with individuals

who are given probation instead of jail time,

who are still in prison,

or who have been released from prison.

Work starts with meetings to form

a rehabilitation plan.

The plan might include any supports needed

for the individual's success,

such as housing, substance abuse treatment,

legal help, mental health counseling,

or job training,

as well as an agreement about

regular check-ins.

Documentation of meetings and activities

is a significant part of the job.

As a probation officer or

correctional treatment specialist,

you can expect to encounter visits

to hostile environments,

strict court-imposed deadlines,

and the frustration of seeing

some of your clients violate the terms

of their release.

State and local government facilities

employ the majority of these workers,

where on-call shifts may be required

in addition to full-time work.

Typically, a bachelor's degree in a related field

such as criminal justice or social work,

is required.

Extensive training on the job is provided.

Candidates must pass competency tests,

drug tests, and a criminal background check.

In this field,

you must be both strong and compassionate,

to help your clients build a better future.

Driving phobia treatment online via Skype - Duration: 8:29.

Welcome.

My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional online therapist and I specialize in mindfulness

therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression, and this also includes online treatment for

driving phobia.

Driving phobia is very common, actually, and it can be treated very easily using the techniques

of mindfulness therapy that I offer.

The most essential thing with driving phobia is to change the way that you relate to your

thoughts and anxiety reactions.

The most common problem is that when these anxiety producing thoughts or emotional reactions

get triggered we simply become completely identified with them.

We collapse into those emotions, those thoughts.

We become the anxiety and then it takes over and it will then magnify itself and increase

and proliferate even more anxiety producing thoughts and emotional reactions.

So, to break this cycle of a phobia you have to learn how to form a conscious and non-reactive

relationship with those thoughts and emotional reactions.

You do this by cultivating mindfulness.

You learn to meditate on your anxiety and on those react to thoughts directly.

You learn to develop emotional stillness and independence in relationship to those very

thoughts.

Most of us try to escape those thoughts and push them that way.

But this has a disastrous effect in actually increasing the anxiety.

It's only when you learn to face your anxiety without reacting that the anxiety can resolve

itself, heal and eventually extinguish itself.

So, mindfulness therapy is one of the most effective ways of working with intense thoughts

and anxiety reactions.

The program that I teach feature in the online therapy sessions is one of establishing a

challenge, first of all A particular stretch of road that you have problems with that triggers

that driving phobia, that's the challenge.

You will set up a routine of driving down that stretch of road every day, and so allowing

yourself to really get access to that underlying anxiety and the thoughts that get triggered.

But, we don't just do this in a blind way.

Instead we meditate on the driving challenge before hand.

We play through the challenge in our mind, imagining ourselves driving that stretch of

road.

We look for the anxiety and thought reactions they get treated and the moment we find those

reactions we welcome them.

We actually develop a friendly and conscious relationship with those thoughts.

You see them as visitors, if you like, that arise in the mind.

But those visitors who are not the same as your mind.

And indeed your True Self is not any of the contents of mind - that's a very important

teaching that we cover in great detail during Mindfulness Therapy.

So you learn by training to be present with those thoughts and emotions without reacting

and without becoming identifying with them.

So you're learning to become free from their influence.

You are overcoming the habit that causes you to react and produce anxiety or panic attacks.

After you have meditated on the driving challenge as best you can, and you really try to just

stay present and conscious and practice on the spot, mindfulness greeting of those thoughts

and emotional reactions that might arise.

But the training that you have established in the meditation before doing the challenge

will help you greatly and that training will begin to take hold automatically with practice.

Then after that challenge you might do another meditation, a review meditation, where you

actually review the anxiety and particular thought reaction that got triggered during

the challenge and in the same way we begin to break free from those habitual reactions

by greeting them with mindfulness and cultivating mindful presence with those thoughts and emotions

without becoming reactive to them.

So, we are learning, essentially, to develop the Observer Mind the True Self that can see

thoughts and emotions without reacting to them.

In this way we essentially desensitize ourselves to those emotional habits that cause anxiety

or panic attacks or any other form of emotional suffering.

So people usually see quite significant changes after the first three or four weeks of practicing

with me using mindfulness to overcome their driving phobia.
