Hurting
Last night G-girl's shot hurt so much that she was willing to take Motrin to make it feel better. She's the kind of kid who would usually rather writhe in agony than take any form of pain killer. I'm not sure what I did differently. But I sure felt a lot worse afterwards.
I am a fifth year grad student getting a PsyD, which is a PhD in clinical psychology. I have successfully defended my disseration, a pilot study which used yoga and a discussion group to (successfully) treat binge eating disorder. I am now doing my internship, working with people on probation (mostly felons) who have to be in therapy as a condition of their release from prison. I also work with people who have gotten their children taken away by DHS. My specialties are eating disorders and using yoga to treat psychological issues. Finish internship and then I'm a real doctor.
I have four cats, two daughters, ages 8 and 11 and one husband, aged 44. I love to run (especially marathons), bike, do yoga, x-c ski and lift weights. I live in the mountains in Colorado.
