I tend to think these random post posts are more my style, for now. There's so much going on, and I'm so busy, that I just can't sit down and really delve into a post. I don't think I ever have, actually. Huh, interesting to get out on the screen, to admit that. Anyways, here's some random thoughts from the past little while.
- I'm disappointed that I won't get the group experience that I wanted out of this internship. I did get one opportunity to co-facilitate, and am having another opportunity to observe, but the co-facilitation was weird and rushed, and the observation is just that, observing. Bleh.
- I love the variety of clients that I have. I want to work in private practice one day, and am concerned that I won't get the same range of clients. Is private practice the realm of the "worried well"?
- Some people may have noticed that I'm reading Irvin Yalom's The Gift of Therapy, listed on my sidebar. I just finished it the other day, and I can honestly say it will be a reference book for the future. So much wisdom and so much heart. It is what therapy is about, IMO. I love it and recommend it.
- I am reading currently about symptom coherence, the idea that each symptom that we want to get rid of has a coherent reason for existing, and our job is to find that reason and bring it to light. It's not a new idea, but it really speaks to some previous ideas that I had about life. I think Satir had some similar ideas...
Ok, that's it for now. I'm off to do some reading and maybe relax in preparation for tomorrow. I have a full day ahead of me. :)
