Reflection on Homeostasis Stage
This paper contains my view on Homeostasis balance. In particular, I am reviewing the stage where the fetus is starting to respond to the outside world through a facial expressions or controlled movements, denoting pleasure or disgust.
The process of a fetus to be able to accumulate capacities of the external world through mother’s body and take it to the higher level with the growth.
The newborn already has an organized behavior that includes feelings, needs and phenomenal survival skills with visual, grasping and auditory stimulations.
With all that preparedness to step in to the new environment new baby also carries over a habituated behavior.
He has a set point. It is the ideal state of a bodily system. If child’s body detects a discomfort then negative feedback is stepping in and trying to keep the body in the previous, most familiar condition.
At first, child’s system will detect the change. Then the body will react to the change and finally will try to stabilize the body to the original state.
These changes are bringing a discomfort that can include high blood pressure and increase in heart rate. The symptoms can lead to the anxiety if the set point is getting disturbed to often.
This process will not happened if bodily system habituated to repetitive stimulation, attuned to the environment and disturbing effects on physiological condition of the child are absent.
As an example, I would like to present a case.
A mother brings one-year-old infant to the therapy. The reason for it is inability to ride a car since birth. The child has an accelerated anxiety and vomiting when placed in the car or even seeing a car image. Family has a difficult time to function with the child’s condition. It also brings arguments into marital life.
Therapist has a result of physical exam that child is in the good health.
During the assessment therapist should look for many reasons why the child has such disturbing behavior. If there is an absence of medical
