I have big news talk to about. Words
on paper aren't enough to describe my plan and dream. I will be Dr. Sarah and I'm not letting go of
that dream. I will be here, but may not
in educational psychology. I want to
pursue my PhD and focus on qualitative research, mood disorders, neurological differences, and
dialectical behavior therapy.
The middle step is to see the nature of social work and the research
opportunities available in Houston. I
want to take Dr. Brené Brown's shame and empathy class. I like what I know about the department and
Dr. Brown so far, both in working with you and watching her Oprah
interview.
Brené Brown quote of the week:
“Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change”
(Brené Brown, 2013).
So I've been kind of quiet
lately...in a distant way. I see what's going on and it's just hard to change. It's about external stressors and the internal conflict that
comes when it's hard to express my emotions, thoughts, and reactions. I
get that. I experience it like "You are wrong for even thinking
that" kind of way...so shame comes and it hurts. I was trying to be
nice and helpful...it blew up in my face...and I will look into finding a way
to talk to her about it.
I think the quote kind of describes where I am now, but I see change as more
probable than I did earlier this month. Progress not perfection.
