Chapters 13 and 14 in the course textbook examine the impact of social roles and professional life on adult development. In our complex world that requires us to manage multiple roles, learning how to effectively balance social roles has become increasingly challenging.
For your initial post:

Introduction
In this assignment, you will identify and summarize what you see as two or three critically important theoretical insights drawn from the textbook readings that explain and inform work/life balance in adult emotional and social development.
Introduction
Work/life balance is a term used to describe the integration of work and family life. It refers to the ability to combine your responsibilities at home with those at work, so that you can feel fulfilled and productive in both roles. Work/life balance has been studied extensively by psychologists and sociologists over the past several decades, but its effects are still unclear because we don’t know exactly what “work” means to our society or culture.
Work/life balance is important because it allows people with families full-time jobs (or part-time jobs) access to resources like childcare or paid time off from work when they need it most–which may include taking their sick child into care or attending an elderly parent’s funeral service.
Theory 1: Traumatic life events can harm both physical and mental health.
One of the most important findings from this research is that traumatic life events can both harm mental and physical health. It’s not just a matter of being stressed or sad; trauma also causes long-term physical and mental health problems. Even if you don’t experience any traumatic events yourself, your loved ones may be experiencing them. This means that everyone needs to work together to prevent trauma from happening in the first place.
If someone does experience a traumatic event (like sexual assault), it’s important for them to get help from professionals like therapists or counselors who can help them process what happened so they can move forward with their lives again instead of staying stuck in the past where everything feels hopeless because there are no positive options left available anymore except maybe suicide which isn’t an option anyways since we’re talking about adults here…
Theory 2: Emotions and stress are interrelated processes.
Emotions and stress are related processes. Emotions are the feelings we experience that give rise to our positive or negative emotions. Stress is the response to a situation, which can be physical, mental or emotional.
Emotions can have both positive and negative effects on us depending on their intensity: if they’re too intense (or if we don’t handle them well), they can lead to physical health problems such as high blood pressure or heart disease; if they’re too low-intensity (or if we never feel anything), then there may be no effect at all because our nervous system isn’t stimulated enough by what’s going on around us–and thus nothing happens physiologically either way!
Theory 3: Social support can buffer the effects of trauma on mental health, but sometimes people need to receive help from family or community resources before they are ready to seek professional help.
Social support can help people recover from trauma. Social support refers to a feeling of being understood, accepted and cared for by other people. In order for social support to be effective, it must be provided by someone whom you trust or have some connection with in your life–a friend, family member, teacher or counselor.
Social supports can help relieve stress and anxiety related to stressful life events like losing a job or finding out that someone close has cancer. They also provide a sense of safety so that individuals feel less alone when something bad happens; this is especially helpful if you’re afraid that something bad might happen again in the future (like if you lose another job).
All three theories provide insight into how our emotions, stress levels and social support can affect our well-being and health.
When it comes to understanding how our emotions and stress levels affect our well-being, several theories have been developed. One theory suggests that trauma can harm both physical and mental health. This is because trauma may cause emotional distress by causing fear, anxiety or sadness in an individual (1).
Another theory suggests that emotions are interrelated processes that occur simultaneously with other bodily functions (2). This means that we feel sad after having eaten too much chocolate cake for example because our brain releases dopamine in order to make us feel good again!
Conclusion
We hope this article has helped you gain a greater understanding of the ways in which adult emotional and social development affects well-being. Our goal was to provide a background on several theories that exist today, as well as their implications for work/life balance. We also sought to understand how these theories could be applied to everyday life situations from a counselling perspective. If you’re interested in learning more about how these theories may apply in your own life or if you want assistance with work/life balance issues, please contact us!
