The Little Things

What little things make you happy? We all have our own unique things that make us so happy. You know what I am talking about. They are the things that make you "you". For example. I LOVE baby animals. They are adorable. I love going to zoo's.I think I never got out of the childhood phrase because I love zoo's. I am a little kid in the zoo. Give me monkeys and I am entertained for a long time. Maybe I should become a animal trainer for zoo's. I would seriously love that job.

What are the little things that make you different?

Uncomfortably Raw

Firstly, this is not a sympathy post. I am just putting my thoughts on this blog. This blog may be harder for me to write since it is more personal emotions I don't verbally say often. Lately, I have had more friends get into serious relationships or get engaged. I am very happy for them since I love them and I want the best for them. I watched them in the beginning stages of their relationships, watched them fall in love and then get engaged. They tell me about their proposal stories and have this glow about them as they talk about future wedding plans. As they talk about their wedding plans, they ask me about what I want. It's fun to fake plan your wedding but then the thought comes "Will it ever happen to me?". I know there are many girls in my position and I am not along in asking this question. This question brings you to a vulnerable place that feels uncomfortable.  It is so easy to compare yourself to others and think it is due to something you are lack...

Life After Grad School

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 occurs when the client is comfortable sharing information they have withheld because of whatever barrier held them back before. Healing is not something that happens overnight. Healing involves people, it is not a individualistic thing for the most part.  I was working with one of my students who was tough. He had a hard egg shell you could say and breaking his egg shell to where he could smile at you was difficult. 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...
