Doctor Geek

Welcome to the psych mind! This was the blog I used to keep sane during grad school, but now that I have graduated and started working as a *gasp* legit VA psychologist, I've been slacking with maintaining it. I do hope other students can use this as a mini break from all the reading, writing, crying, eating, typing, highlighting, more crying, and coffee drinking. It doesn't feel like it, but you CAN do it and just remember Winnicott- "good enough will do the job!"

Grad Life

Sorry for my absence as of late. I’ve been in the process of finishing up my dissertation for defense, overload on internship, planning a family vacation to Orlando for a wedding/my birthday/graduation, and getting ready to move 2800 miles to Seattle.....I need a cookie. I’ll be back when it’s all over. Mostly when the dissertation is over. I love and miss you my little Tumblers!
