COMPETENCIES1013.1.1 : Self-Discovery and MindfulnessThe graduate evaluates and displays behaviors consistent with the process of self-discovery and mindfulness.INTRODUCTIONBioreactions (i.e., fight, flight, freeze, or appease) include quick responses to stimuli or threats that are dangerous and fearful experiences, many of which are caused by social interactions. Bioreactions help the brain reinforce certain pathways. This is one way to learn. Some pathways then associate that past reaction with similar events. The fear response may then become associated with other non-fearful events. Because the brain is so good at making these associations, we are not even aware of the miscue. Bioreactions are automatic responses that happen within 11–14 milliseconds. In most cases, they are not under your control. However, you can learn to become aware of when you are experiencing a bioreaction by paying attention to what is going on in your body. To become aware of your bioreactions, it may be helpful to ask yourself the following questions:What event/experience led to the bioreaction? What emotions did you feel? How did your body react? What, if anything, did you do differently when you noticed you were having a bioreaction? Why is it important for you to be aware of your bioreactions?REQUIREMENTSYour submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. An originality report is provided when you submit your task that can be used as a guide. You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course. Note: Complete the Learning Brains and bioreaction material found in module 1 in your course of study before completing this task. A.  Describe a time when you were in a social situation that triggered a bioreaction(s) by doing the following:1.  Describe the environment around you before and during the bioreaction(s).2.  Describe the stimulus (which the amygdala interprets as a threat) that triggered the bioreaction.3.  Describe the bioreaction(s) (i.e., fight, flight, freeze, and appease) you experienced.4.  Describe the physical sensations (e.g., sweaty palms, tight muscles) you experienced in your body when you became aware of the bioreaction(s).5.  Describe the feeling(s) you experienced in the social situation before, during, and after the bioreaction(s).6.  Describe what you would do differently to successfully navigate this type of reaction the next time you experience a similar social situation.a.  Reflect on why it is important to react differently when you experience this bioreaction. B.  Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.File RestrictionsFile name may contain only letters, numbers, spaces, and these symbols: ! – _ . * ‘ ( )File size limit: 200 MBFile types allowed: doc, docx, rtf, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, odt, pdf, txt, qt, mov, mpg, avi, mp3, wav, mp4, wma, flv, asf, mpeg, wmv, m4v, svg, tif, tiff, jpeg, jpg, gif, png, zip, rar, tar, 7zRUBRICA1.

DESCRIPTION OF BIOREACTION(S):NOT EVIDENTA description of the bioreactions(s) experienced is not provided.APPROACHING COMPETENCEThe description reflects limited awareness of specific bioreaction(s) and includes minimal details of the candidate’s personal experience.COMPETENTThe description reflects awareness of specific bioreaction(s) and includes specific details of the candidate’s personal experience.A4. PHYSICAL RESPONSE:NOT EVIDENTA description of the physical sensations experienced during the bioreaction(s) is not provided.APPROACHING COMPETENCEThe description demonstrates a lack of awareness of the specific physical sensations that occurred when the candidate became aware of the bioreaction(s).COMPETENTThe description demonstrates awareness of specific physical sensations that occurred when the candidate became aware of the bioreaction(s).A5. FEELING(S):NOT EVIDENTA description of the feeling(s) experienced in the social situation is not provided.APPROACHING COMPETENCEThe description is missing details or includes unclear details of the feeling(s) experienced in the social situation before, during, and after the bioreaction(s).COMPETENTThe description includes specific, reflective details of the feeling(s) experienced in the social situation before, during, and after the bioreaction(s).A6. WHAT COULD BE DONE DIFFERENTLY:NOT EVIDENTA description of what could be done differently to successfully navigate the reaction is not provided.APPROACHING COMPETENCEThe description is not practical or does not appropriately address what the candidate would do differently, or the response is not feasible to successfully navigate the reaction in a similar social situation.COMPETENTThe description is practical and appropriately addresses what the candidate would do differently to successfully navigate the reaction in a similar social situation.A6A. REFLECTION:NOT EVIDENTA reflection on the importance of reacting differently during the bioreaction is not provided.APPROACHING COMPETENCEThe reflection includes unclear insights or does not demonstrate understanding of the importance of modifying the candidate’s response when experiencing the identified bioreaction.COMPETENTThe reflection includes personal insights and demonstrates understanding of the importance of modifying the candidate’s response when experiencing the identified bioreaction.B. PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION:NOT EVIDENTContent is unstructured, is disjointed, or contains pervasive errors in mechanics, usage, or grammar. Vocabulary or tone is unprofessional or distracts from the topic.APPROACHING COMPETENCEContent is poorly organized, is difficult to follow, or contains errors in mechanics, usage, or grammar that cause confusion. Terminology is misused or ineffective.COMPETENTContent reflects attention to detail, is organized, and focuses on the main ideas as prescribed in the task or chosen by the candidate. Terminology is pertinent, is used correctly, and effectively conveys the intended meaning. Mechanics, usage, and grammar promote accurate interpretation and understanding.
