Life After Grad School

Image
Happy news. I graduated in May and I haven't posted about anything, so here comes my life after grad school post. My graduation weekend was unlike anything other. I graduated on May 21st, 2016, the day after my birthday. I turned 25 and then the day after I graduated with my MSW. It was going to be the happiest and most eventful weekend during the summer and then....I got hand foot and mouth disease! It is a children's disease but I guess I got it from my internship. I don't recommend getting if you ever have the choice :) Nonetheless, graduation happened and then my post school life began. I had the summer off and had plenty of time to travel and go to Girls Camp and the Stake Youth Trek. I finished my year off at my internship and then enjoyed the summer. We went to Hawaii for a week and explored the main island. We hiked, visited the volcano, soaked up the sun on beaches, snorkled with sea turtles, ate fish and looked at waterfalls. It was the perfect way to cel...

The Start of the Healing Process

I had an experience the other day with one of my students left me emotionally exhausted but it taught me so much about healing and the start of that process.  Healing is something that happens throughout the therapeutic relationship as you develop rapport.

Healing involves people, it is not a individualistic thing for the most part.  I was working with one of my students who was tough.

A lot of times, people will look at these people and say that they are hopeless because they will never open up and continue to have behavior problems. The first couple of sessions was just getting the basic of information shared and then having to calm him down because he thought therapy was stupi...

Everyday is a new day

I was in a really good mood today and I have no idea why. Maybe it is because I am graduating in April or had Zumba today after a long break from not having Zumba. Like I said, Zumba is my favorite form of exercise. I just woke up thinking "today will be a good day". I woke up late, put on my exercise clothes and walked to Zumba in 14 degree weather. It was warm to me. Today we had a "heat wave" meaning it went up to 20  from being 0 degrees.  I found it a miracle in the increase of tempature. It was a nice surprise not having to wear 50,000 layers. Anyways, I was walking across campus and there were lots of gloomy faces. I wanted to walk up to them and smile and say "It will be a good day". I should just go sing "don't you fret...even though alabama won, there is still hope for you" (The college bowl). People would look at me weird if I did that, but I wanted to tell people that life is good today. Everyday is a new day with new people to ...
