As many of you know, I’m in graduate school earning a
masters in counseling. I’m loving
(almost) every minute of this season in my life, but I must say that it’s not
entirely what I expected.
I expected psychology and am getting a lot of it. History, theory, application, research,
counseling techniques. I expected
an in depth exploration and analysis of the human psyche, complete with a
richer understanding of emotional patterns reflecting in healthy or unhealthy
relationships. Expectations
met! I expected to consider and
understand the human animal more clearly, more compassionately, more
powerfully. Yes, yes, and yes!
I didn’t, however, take into account that I am also a member of this human race.
