The question of whether swallowing chewing gum is dangerous or not is a common concern among many people. While swallowing chewing gum is generally not recommended, it is not considered a serious health risk.
When swallowed, chewing gum is not digested by the body and will usually pass through the digestive system in a few days. However, in rare cases, it may become stuck in the digestive tract, causing discomfort and constipation. This is more likely to occur if a large amount of gum is swallowed or if it is swallowed along with other non-digestible objects.
In addition, chewing gum may contain certain artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol, which can cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems if consumed in large amounts. However, the amount of sorbitol in chewing gum is typically small, and is unlikely to cause any significant health problems.
While swallowing chewing gum is generally not dangerous, it is still recommended to dispose of it properly in the trash. If you experience any discomfort or digestive issues after swallowing chewing gum, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional. In most cases, they will advise you to drink plenty of water and eat high-fiber foods to help move the gum through your system.
To enter a counselling psychology training programme, you will need either an undergraduate or Master’s degree that is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and leads to graduate membership. As well as this, you will need some experience working with adults or children.
To qualify, counselling psychologists complete a Health and Care Professions Council-accredited practitioner doctoral degree, which require at least 450 hours of supervised counselling practice over three or more years. These hours should be undertaken in a variety of settings. Trainees are also required to receive personal therapy during training.
The practice of counseling psychology encompasses a broad range of culturally sensitive practices that help people improve their well-being, alleviate distress and maladjustment, resolve crises and increase their ability to function better in their lives. With its attention both to normal developmental issues and problems associated with physical, emotional and mental disorders, the specialization holds a unique perspective in the broader practice-based areas of psychology. While both counseling and clinical psychologists practice psychotherapy, counseling psychology differs from clinical in that its practitioners tend to focus on overall well-being across the lifespan, compared to clinical clients who often are experiencing more severe symptoms of mental illness.
