I appreciate the thought, MT. "Psychology" per se isn't a big enough box, tho, is it? I think the memoirs are the real ticket for me...
Seems reasonable being reality non local nor remote. People had encouraged me to write but I look around and see somewhere every word already in print that I could possibly write. Yet at the same time none of these volumes transcends my living statement, and none of these documents transcend the personal relationship.
Yup, if you have the Sight you could take the scenic route without rising from your chair... You do have a gift for the clever and striking turn of phrase. My memoir is my living statement. One day I was sitting at my desk in my office thinking, "What I really want from my life is to have some psychic experiences and to write about them." Almost immediately a woman down the hall with whom I had never spoken started making comments out loud about my unspoken thoughts. And that was the beginning of my current oddysey. The same words and thoughts may abound in various places, but our own view is what chooses which to express and how to combine them. And your words might touch different people than mine.
Hey I'ma be a psychologist!!! psychology is a sexy topic especially as I will learn the characteristics of people, the brain, child and adolescent development, and people in general. I can't wait
I was always interested in psychology. I read my mom's college psych book when I was 15. So you thinkin' of being a counselor, Chelzgrl?
I've noticed that on occasion. Don't know how much you've looked at career paths yet...nowadays most counseling is done by people with a masters degree in social welfare and a license in marriage & family counseling or some such. I have a cousin who got a PhD in psychology and did counseling for some years, but then her clients started disappearing when the insurance companies stopped paying for such high-powered qualifications in favor of the LMFC's. On the other hand my 14-year-old daughter has a psychiatrist who does family and individual therapy - a very rare bird in these times. Most psychiatrists nowadays see you for five or ten minutes every couple of months and adjust your medications when indicated, and that's it. So you just don't never know.
