Psychotherapist on a never-ending journey of growth. Mostly here to connect with and learn from other therapists….oh, and rest my mind.

I know a woman who can hover a MEDEVAC chopper on the tip of a mountain in Afghanistan while under fire with wounded soldiers and marines being loaded for transport.

I am someone w/o others, yet in relationship w/others I’m someone else. Perhaps the ultimate wellness, psychologically so, is when I balance both the *me* w/o others and the *me* with others. The music moves me one way alone. With the *other* present, my movement must then accommodate or collide.

Key is flexibility in our critical thinking to know the difference.

My first post under the sky will be to announce that change can be annoying but some of the people I’m here to follow have led me to my fate. This isn’t the first time I’ve followed people b/c I like them. I followed my hubby recently into the woods then I got spooked by snakes and ran.
