It's a quasi-rainy April day and I'm home studying. I had to draw up another genogram and write about my family AGAIN. I think this program is designed to make me face every dysfunctional issue possible before I can start working as a counselor. I know it's good to process all this crap, but sometimes it gets to be a bit much. I'm sure I'll find myself in therapy before it is over. I probably should locate someone good in case the dreaded negative countertransference appears during the course of my work with patients .
Anyway, I haven't written in awhile. It's been tough balancing work and school. I may have to give up dog walking because it's putting too many miles on my car and isn't cost effective anymore. It sucks because I want a dog and we can't have one where we live. I wonder if we can afford to rent someplace with a yard for a bit while I finish this program. It feels like it will be forever before I finish this damned program, by the way. I have been going part-time because of time and money restraints. I also still have a one year internship and two years of supervision ahead. Oh well. Truth is, I actually love what I am doing. I think I just need a school loan and to get better with budgeting and time management.
I'm considering going to Tai Chi class tonight. It's usually kinda cool. Good for stress, if not actual combat.
