Re: Review: Mental on FOX

Here! Here! After the first episode, I felt the exact same way. It tried to blend in elements of HOUSE in a very boring way and left me wondering why the show worked so hard to draw in the audience when the mental health field is so interesting without all the gimmicks. I really wanted to like it more than I did.

So true! Late afternoon/early evening just seems to warm everything and give it these completely rich feel... Glad I'm not the only one who's noticed everything *that* much more now that I'm trying to capture it. :)

My brother-in-law and I had a conversation about this just a couple of weeks ago. And yes, I'm completely looking at things differently since picking up photography.

I'm experiencing everything you mentioned above, but I think the biggest thing I've noticed is lighting and how it affects objects and my surroundings. More specifically - natural lighting. It's incredible how the lighting in the late afternoon/early evening can make something look that much better. I guess that's why most photographers prefer to shoot at that time.

You know I have found that My podcast that I have just started "my audio Journal" has kind of done the some thing. I am finding my self tring to explane things that I just take for granted. I love the pitcher of the sun through the trees.

You're beginning to "think" more like a camera. A camera obviously only captures a moment of time and that perfect moment can come and go within the blink of an eye.

You are also able to witness things from many different perspectives through both sight and sound, something you are not able to accomplish with a camera.

So no, it is not unnatural now for you constantly be "looking through the aperture" and capturing those moments that can only be saved through a shutter.

Hi Brandice,

Thanks for the writeup and congrats on your first trade! Just want to bring notice to what you said about the current site and that it is currently being revamped. We're looking to have a new launch mid-August with a set of new features to go along with a brand new design.

Some of those features include:
- Facebook Application
- Meridian Tracking
- Activity Streams
- Charity Voting
- And a "message in the bottle" feature for first time Meridian registrations.

We're going to be pulling down the old site shortly and forwarding that to a new domain/site that we're currently setting up to handle Meridian purchases, registrations and user registrations.

If you're not already, be sure to become a fan of our page on Facebook and tell your friends!

I don't think that she encourages it, simply allows it, which bothers me. I'm not sure it's an ethical issue, but it would really be against my own ethical ideals to behave that way. I feel you on the MFT misconceptions... we have some MFT interns on our unit and they deal with the same thing, although at least the patients and staff understand that in SOME manner, they are actual therapists. ;) lol

This looks like a heckuva lot of fun. And only ten bucks for it. I might have to pick one up. Did you buy yours at Amazon or at a local store.

I've loved Christopher Moore's writing for a long time now. You'll enjoy his other books.

That sucks. I kind of feel your pain. Although I think most people that I work with are clear on what I do, when others find out I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, they mistakenly assume that means I can't/don't do psychotherapy with individuals. I can and I do. I understand their confusion, however. The name of my license is misleading, harkening back to the 1960s and 1970s when MFTs did most or all of their work with couples and families. That is not the case today, however, and my training and legal definition of my license support that; only the name does not. To ease this confusion, I usually just say I'm a psychotherapist. It's accurate and seems to cover all of the bases.

I think I'd scream, though, if I worked with people who were that clueless about what I did. (and how can Such-and-Such get away with being referred to as Dr. Such-and-Such? If she encourages it, isn't that an ethical violation?)
