Welcome

I mentioned to Laura that I ran across something in my psychology book that I found amusing and that I thought I'd post on our blog to see what all of you thought of it. She mentioned that perhaps it would be better if I had my own blog specifically dedicated to my studies where I could post ideas like that any time I wanted to. As I thought about it I realized that having my own blog was a really good idea for several reasons.

First, by occasionally blogging my thoughts I am better utilizing the mind's natural methods of long-term memory storage and effective retrieval.

Second, I can survey my friends easily to see whether or not a psychological explanation for a specific phenomenon coincides with how people outside the discipline view that phenomenon.

And third, in a few years when I start trying to establish a private practice, I'll have an entire journal of thoughts to read through with comments and feedback from others that can help me develop approaches to helping clients.

With that in mind, I hope that you all enjoy my occasional thoughts and ramblings, and I look forward to any feedback you all may have.
