As a chronic overthinker, my reflections engage with a variety of topics - from the qualities of friendships to suggestions for improving clinical bed-side manner.
In these reflections, you’ll often witness the ever-wrestling inner parts of me. The daughter, sister, roommate, and friend parts debate about relationship dynamics. The philosophy student urges the daughter to ask clearer questions. Where the therapist-in-training aims to be sensitive, the lab report writer reminds her to get to the point. Different voices dominate the conversation at different times. For the sake of organization, I divided these reflections into three different main categories: On the Personal, On the Clinical, and On the Somatic (detailed below).
These reflections are not meant to provide answers as much as to introduce pathways for navigating explanations. I consider them my breadcrumbs for future conversations and ever-edited drafts of unfinished thoughts. Thank you for witnessing my thoughts! I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!
