We are two psychologists traveling through life like everybody else. The difference is…we are supposed to know our shit. We should be managing situations wisely and maturely, with clear intention. Our relationships should be full of emotionally intelligent conversations. Truth is, we both happen to experience emotions strongly, an although we conceptually understand how to manage ourselves and support others in doing so, we kind of suck at it sometimes. We know the theory and research behind human behavior, and we are both living real lives as humans – this blog is intended to illustrate how our experiences as psychologists affect how we are as people
To give you a little history, we met years ago at a time when we were both questioning many of our own life decisions. Our approach in living life today looks much different than where we were then. We are both divorced with 3 kids each (as luck would have it, the “brady bunch” reference actually seems to fit).
We believe that through our process in working on our relationship and ourselves, there might be experience an knowledge that others might find meaningful. On the flip side, actually talking through these things will also be productive for our own relationship – staying in tune with how we are feeling and continue in to focus on how we want to be moving forward…essentially, how do we take our own advice?
ANONYMOUS
This will be a blog with anonymity. A blog about the blog. We are starting this blog by talking about the importance of anonymity, for our families, friends, and clients. We work in a field where anonymity is important in the work we do. Although self-disclosure has it’s value in therapy with clear, connected intention, we would not want to expose anyone we are treating to the shit show of our lives. As we progress towards fielding questions from others, we welcome you all to remain anonymous at your convenience too.
