So much for the weekly process....

Indeed. So it has been over a month since I have updated this blog. In short, the studying continues. I have had a few mental breakdowns, chips at my confidence, some highs when information clicks,, and even mixed scores on practice cases and exams so… borderline passing.

What does all this mean?

Not a whole lot… just the fact that in a little over a week I will take this license exam for the first time. I will push on. Keep doing what I need. Breathing, drinking water, getting ample amounts of sleep, and oh yeah eating. Self-care is crucial. I won’t lie, it has been hard, sometimes forgetting I missed breakfast to cram a section in, or over-caffienated. A good friend reminded me to take my recommendations of doing what I need to nourish myself during this stressful time. Thanks for the reminder. As I type, I take another swig of water, have a mellow jam playing in the background, and my dog snoring in the middle of this night.

I am putting it out into the universe and back into myself that my 4 years post grad, 2 years in graduate school, and a few years of lived experience can help me strengthen my intuition and acquired knowledge in mental health. I will pass this exam…. one way or another. It will happen.

So with that… back to learning about another few theories tonight….. Gestalt, Interpersonal therapy, and maybe some object relations.

Keep on keeping on.

More to come eventually.

Deuces.
