I just wanted to share some of my excitement about an upcoming conference that I'm going to attend. It's on diversity issues mainly, but one workshop is on trauma in childhood and techniques to use with clients. I'm looking forward to this conference!
The other thing that I'm excited about is that I might run into my former T the day after this conference. I sooooo want to let her know that I attended and share my excitement! She is the one that introduced me to the keynote speaker's works.
On another good note...my new T and I had a good session this week. After a not so great session the week before, it was refreshing to have a decent chat.
There are a few negatives that are weighing on my mind that I have to work on though. I have a ton of projects, presentations, and papers due for all of my classes in the next two weeks. I'm some how going to take time to go to an out of town conference for a day. That will mean that I won't get much sleep for a few days after that in order to catch up on all my homework. I'm also a bit scared to go out of town by myself. I've never attended a conference out of town alone before. I'm kind of afraid of the drive and getting lost. I hope I don't have a panic attack in the car. I also have to be productive at work, in my classes, and a good enough parent with my kids. Juggling all of this in the next week is going to be difficult.
Some how I think going to this conference will be good for me and I just have to remind myself that I can do it!
Well, I would love to write more, but I have to get my kiddos ready for school and get myself ready for work.
Talk To You All Later!
