Abnormal Psychology-week 2

We have been sort of reviewing some of the stuff that we talked about last semester in personality but also looking at it in a diffferent way, which has been beneficial and fun. I used to sort of shun all behaviorism but after reviewing it I think it is really valid and feel that togethor a cognitive/behaviorism approach can be extremely affective in working with people. I really enjoy reflecting on how I do this with myself, and do I tell myself, you know nate this is how it is, or kind of contemplate and move through things slowly. I'd say mostly I really like to absorb the experience and take it into account and apprecite the feelings of which I am choosing, understand them and move on. These days though I am diving into my feelings a bit more and open them up completely for interpretation and disection. Basically I really enjoy critical thinking and understanding regardless of the subject. I appreciate all people and what they do, not to say they are all things that I endorse, but I realize that these things happen and that's ok.
All for now,
Nate

Abnormal Psychology- larry round 2

Well back for some more education for the spring semester, enjoyed last semesters personality class and now taking abnormal and with Professor larry from last semester. Have had one day of class, seems to be the same old larry I know. I noticed how comfortable I felt talking in front of all my classes this semester so far and it really is good to talk, communicate and share feelings. I'm really glad that I have the opportunitty to take so many thought provoking classes in one semester, really goes quite well with some things that I am choosing to experience in my life and elements of frredom that are bringing me great joy. I'm excited to consider the abnormal, that is to say that there is a normal side of psychology, laugh, laugh, chuckle, chuckle. Well alright then reckon I'll go learn now.
