Glider, what school of psych are you studying/practicing?

Thanks for taking the time to read it. If any of it made sense, even better!

I don’t really belong to any particular school. It tends to be counsellors and therapists that belong to such schools (e.g. Freudian Psychoanalytical, Cognitive-Behavioural etc.). I’m a Ph.D. (scientist) and a Chartered Health Psychologist, but my actual role at the moment is as a Senior Lecturer/Academic Psychologist at a University in London.

Thanks for the link. There are some really nice trees there. I’ll enjoy looking at them today because it’s still raining and I still have 3.6 metre lengths of timber all over my dining room floor waiting to be made into display benches!
