• Going back as far as I can remember, I was standing up in front of neat rows of dolls and stuffed animals teaching. I have no idea what I was teaching until I started to learn the alphabet, good manners like how to say please and thank you and yes sir and yes ma’am, and how to say the best prayer ever no doubt. All I know is that every time I learned something new I gathered my small clan of students and required their undivided attention. I was a teacher at a very young age, and I can’t think of any time I didn’t want to be a teacher. I was never a dancer in my dreams, which isn’t surprising because I have trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time; a nurse, I get a paper cut and think I am dying…no joke, or any of the other professions offered in the 60s or 70s. Nope, I was always in front of a classroom teaching.

    Never in my wildest dreams did I think I ever wanted to be a doctor. Docters in the 1960s were most men in white coats and quite frankly pretty scary to me.

  • When I started the process for my doctorate, I went throught the stages of looking for a university, programs, degrees, concentartion, and focus. What I didn’t do was look to see what the difference was between a master’s level degree and a doctorate.

  • I have checked with my colleagues who went through the doctorate program with me, my professors, the colleagues I teach with presently as well as new students wanting to start their journey towards a doctorate. One thing is common throughout all those conversations: no one could answer the question, what is a doctorate?

  • a word about depressing times

    teach specific skills, especially in clear thinking, effective behavior, and building positive relationships, match and, in some ways, outperform medications in terms of both symptom management and relapse rates

    person’s negative and demotivating expectations (i.e. hopelessness), the perception that no amount of effort will yield success (i.e. helplessness), cognitive distortions, faulty attributions, ineffective behavior, poor social skills, low frustration tolerance, poor coping skills, and any of the other many subjective patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that can help form and exacerbate depression. Empowerment is a basic theme in treating depression, and, in that respect, hypnosis can be an invaluable part of the treatment process.

  • Self-esteem

    Your self-esteem is your subjective assessment of your value as a human being. It is formed in part by the feedback we get from others, but it is formed to an even larger extent by our beliefs and how they serve as filters for the feedback we get.
