  • Intellectual Distress

    Namaste Each time I go through the business handout I wonder whether I am qualified to talk about that subject.  When I look around at what is still potential I have to wonder if it is that I am lacking the social, communication, and reasoning competencies needed for success in this career.  I have clients…

  • The Kernel

    Namaste In my recent browsing of the web I found a humorous article written about two years ago.   In it a writer with whom I have a curious relationship – I admire him without necessarily looking up to him – was criticized for writing columns that have ‘no coherent, developed thought on anything.’  I must…

  • Express Yourself

    Namaste We had exams yesterday and each person who finished retired to the kitchen for snacks and/or conversation before leaving.  When it was over I took up my post bracing the water dispenser as there was no more room left at the table.  I watched them eat ice cream, mocha chocolate cake, tortillas and sour…

  • Getting it Right

    Namaste This is me…trying to be brief and relevant.  Part of our conversation on Saturday morning evolved around body mechanics.  My main point was that instead of being the voice outside the head saying when and what to shift to avoid resultant pain, let’s try for bodily awareness.  Sure, I have my role to play, but given…

  • Taboo

    Namaste Carnival is over.  Thank God.  I am often asked if it is a time when I get an influx of clients.  No.  Not because I can’t.  The pulse of this period is simply too vibrant so most of the time I stay in the ambiance of my home until it passes over.  The phone…

  • Lights

    Namaste I had the privilege of seeing a Therapist receive therapy and was humbly reminded that we are all a work in progress and that this life is about interdependence, not independence. We need each other. This gentleman has been treating people for years quite effectively. Now he stood ready to face his own reality:…

  • Androgynous

    Namaste It is politically incorrect to have a dog and bark, so given that I have helpers, I don’t iron my clothes, that role is delegated to my children. I was preparing for work recently and opened the wardrobe to take out a top to wear. There are two sets hanging there: the ones to…

  • Imagine

    Namaste How did the Christmas season treat you? Mine was all over the place. So I’m sitting here reflecting while listening to Sandi Patti: In The Name Of The Lord. On repeat of course. It’s one of those songs you never get enough of. I remember a time in Church history when you proved your…

  • Coming from work…

    Namaste Coming from work… The driver advised me to be careful when crossing the road. She said she is always fearful for pedestrians in Trinidad. If there is an accident, there is great possibility of a fatality. She said she has travelled wide and far internationally and still feels that fear when she is home.…

  • Milk and Nipples

      Namaste It is said to be a blessed thing to give. As Therapists we live this. We give of our energy and skills and feel blessed by the positive feedback we receive. And while this direct form of giving is good, it is said that the highest form of giving is the type where…
