Psychological Make-up

Psychological makeup is not static; it evolves and adapts over time based on experiences, learning, and personal growth. Recognising and understanding individual strengths and weaknesses is an essential step towards gaining insight into the psychological makeup of clients. This self-awareness allows us to open discussions on how clients make decisions, how these factors can affect behaviour reactions  and provide a deeper understanding about motivations.

Personal Recovery

Personal recovery is about learning to live alongside mental conditions.

Challenging Behaviours

Challenging behaviors refer to actions or conduct exhibited by individuals that are disruptive, harmful, or socially unacceptable.

Practitioners of positive behavioural supports and psychosocial recovery coaching should be well versed in psychological make-up factors to provide a holistic approach to interventions.

Values, beliefs, and attitudes constitute another essential element of psychological makeup. These core principles shape our priorities and guide our actions. 

Evaluating these aspects of our client’s psychological makeup can shed light on why they engage in certain behaviours and how this can be an invaluable process to prioritise different aspects of interventions.

It can also help us identify areas where personal growth or change may be beneficial, such as in achieving a reduction in challenging behaviours and identifying areas of focus in personal recovery such as nurturing healthy relationships.

Cognitive Abilities

This component encompasses our intellectual capabilities, problem-solving skills, and creativity. Cognitive abilities are fundamental for comprehending how we think, reason, and make decisions. They are integral to our capacity to process information and adapt to different challenges and opportunities.

Emotions

Emotions represent our subjective experiences of feelings, both positive and negative. They play a significant role in shaping our perceptions, reactions, and behaviours in response to various life events. Emotions are a critical aspect of our psychological makeup, as they influence our relationships, decision-making, and overall well-being.

Social Interactions

Our social interactions pertain to our communication style, the way we establish and maintain relationships, and our ability to collaborate with others. These interactions are central to our psychological makeup because they influence our connections with individuals and communities, impacting our sense of belonging and support.

Mental health is a critical facet of our psychological makeup, encompassing our physical, psychological, and social well-being. It affects our ability to cope with stress, manage emotions, and form meaningful connections. If signs of mental illness, such as depression, anxiety, or substance abuse, emerge, it is essential to seek help from mental health professionals to address these issues effectively.

Furthermore, our environment plays a significant role in shaping our psychological makeup. The environments in which we live, work, and interact can either provide opportunities for personal growth and development or contribute to feelings of insecurity and isolation. Creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment is crucial for fostering a positive psychological makeup and overall well-being.

In conclusion, understanding our psychological makeup is a valuable tool for personal growth and self-awareness. By recognising our individual strengths and weaknesses, evaluating our values and beliefs, managing our mental health, and cultivating supportive environments, we can make more informed decisions and pursue a happier and healthier life. Our psychological makeup is dynamic, continually evolving as we learn and adapt to the challenges and opportunities life presents.
