today was a good day.
i co-facilitated two groups today and actually contributed. afterwards the two "real" therapists commented that i had asked some insightful questions.
that made me feel good.
felt like i was grasping the process and really hearing people instead of trying to "figure" out what they were masking.
but then something embarrassing:
on the way back from one of the groups i was carpooling with my supervisor. she was saying how i am one of the first students she has supervised and in her words am, "unfortunately being experimented upon." then i ever so smartly responded with, "oh i love being experimented on." ugh. "i mean in a positive way. a totally non-sexual way." oh my gosh, please stop! seriously?!! what the hell? it's particularly embarrassing given she comes from a psychoanalytic background, so naturally my comment is full of freud, therefore open for all sorts of interesting analysis.
sigh.

perhaps she likes you. hmmm? anyway, you are NOT a pretend therapist. you are fantastic. actually i have a pretend therapist activity in school i have to perform in a couple of weeks. perhaps you could help me practice? or should i say...can I experiment on you?
You make me laugh. You know what happens after you're a pretend therapist- you're a real therapist! Hooray! Keep on the grad school road- it won't be forever.
Hey! I've been checking out your blog for a while (thanks to Allison). I'm excited you're moving on to insightful questions beyond our all time favorite "And how did that make you feel?"
