Who is this girl Psychologist mimi

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.

Happy Mother’s Day: Let’s Hear it for the Pork

By psychologistmimi on May 11, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

Winston Churchill once said, “I’m fond of pigs.  Dogs look up to us.  Cats look down on us.  Pigs treat us as equals”.  Puerto Ricans tend to like pigs, particularly as a slow-roasted pork dish. I am Puerto Rican. Therefore, I love pork. See, I aced my LSATs […]

Risk-Taking as a Way of Life: What’s in your New Orleans Gumbo?

By psychologistmimi on May 9, 2013 • ( 1 Comment )

As far as I can remember I have been allergic to shellfish. One touch to my lips and I swell up like Kim Kardashian. Ok. Not really. And by the way, it is quite horrific how the media is deciding to go after Kim Kardashian for pregnancy weight […]

The Psychology of a House of Horrors in one’s Neighborhood

By psychologistmimi on May 8, 2013 • ( 8 Comments )

After I checked into my hotel, I rode up the elevator not really noticing who else was in the elevator with me besides my work colleagues. Stepped out of the elevator and walked down the oddly dim-lit hallway to my hotel room. Stepped into my room. Looked around. […]

The Dhampir: What’s a Mixed Race Monster Supposed to Do?

By psychologistmimi on May 5, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

Do you love Buffy the Vampire Slayer?  Do you love Supernatural?  Did you love the X-Files, Battlestar Galactica and Farscape?  Why the love for science fiction, space operas or vampires? My love of monsters, vampires, aliens, and in general science fiction comes primarily from my mom who believed […]

Happy Birthday to Me: Thanks Mom

By psychologistmimi on May 2, 2013 • ( 18 Comments )

About eight years ago a colleague of mine told me of a special gesture he used to do for his wife on her birthday. He would send flowers to his mother in-law thanking her for giving birth to his beautiful wife. I was dumfounded. Until that point, birthdays […]

What’s your name again? The psychology of and power behind remembering names

By psychologistmimi on April 30, 2013 • ( 7 Comments )

Zsa Zsa Gabor once said, “I call everyone ‘Darling’ because I can’t remember their name”.  More likely she had a paid assistant to remember them for her, so there was little point in wasting those brain cells of hers on storing such pedestrian information.  Would that I could […]

The Psychology of Digging Out the Workplace Weeds

By psychologistmimi on April 28, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

I most definitely do not have a green thumb. I am allergic to grass, ragweed and numerous pollens.  I’m a creature of the urban jungle. Concrete all around me growing up, not plants.  So, I went to Home Depot this weekend, bought some plants, a large shovel and […]

A Simple Gesture in a Technology-Heavy World

By psychologistmimi on April 26, 2013 • ( 3 Comments )

How many high tech gadgets do you have? How many do you feel you need? Is your TIVO connected to your computer? Do you access your TIVO through your IPAD? Do you access CNN live on your IPOD-even while abroad? How connected do you have to be? Recently […]

Walking in Your Shoes: Empathy, Not Love, Makes the Workplace Go Round

By psychologistmimi on April 25, 2013 • ( 8 Comments )

“I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person.” ― Walt Whitman, “Song of Myself”   Empathy. Do you have it? Do you live it? Do you experience it? Does it guide you? Many may reflexively say “yes, of course”. But […]

Nashville was a Dream but Flying out was a Nightmare: Thank you Sequestration for the Furloughs

By psychologistmimi on April 23, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

Many, many years ago, in the kooky land of Washington, DC, I worked for the federal government. It was a time of great turmoil in which a president rued the day he laid hands on a certain blue dress.  It was a time in which the various sectors […]
