I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
Sometimes when I introduce myself, I don’t state I’m a psychologist by training. I have strayed far from the academia realm. Happily. Intentionally. I’ve spoken out before about the field of psychology. I’m a psychologist skeptical of the field. Very skeptical. Yet, I am very much a psychologist. […]
So many words. So many images. Yet, the building stood emptied for years on end. It dared anyone to enter and say a word. No thoughts or feelings could be contained. It served as a vessel for corrupted, yet innocent energy. What more could it be? It was […]
