Freud

Well, we started the third module of my counselling skills course yesterday.  It’s about psychodynamics, which is kind of linked to Freud.  Ok, it’s a lot linked to Freud given that it’s evolved from his theories.  Anyway, I felt like a right nerd yesterday given that I know loads about this stuff.  I always did find it easy to remember what I’d learned about Freud at uni.  His theories were so outlandish.  And they were so easy to criticise.  Even the ones that made sense.  Anyhow, I think I’m going to enjoy this module a lot, as psychodynamics basically makes use of the bits of Freud that make sense, rather than the mad insane stuff.  I hope people don’t expect me to know everything though.  At uni we learnt about Freud really.  We didn’t cover the psychodynamic method of counselling.  It is very interesting though, and I’m hoping I’ll be able to make use of it.  Ok I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to make use of it.  It’s scary how much I’m learning about myself on this course actually.  It’s proved very useful when dealing with all the crap this year has dealt me so far. 

Oh, and on a side note, I’m still keeping up with the guitar practice.  Maybe I’ll actually persevere this time.  Maybe all the self analysis stuff I’ve been doing with this course has helped me find some sort of motivation?  Or maybe certain things have just forced me to reassess what’s important to me.  Music is important to me, so perhaps I should focus on that while I still can.  I’m letting the diary thing slide though.  I’m not sure if avoiding certain issues is a good thing though.  Perhaps I should break out the diary and face the crap as well as attempt to play my guitar.  But I don’t want to push things too much.  Not that I’m making excuses or anything.  No.  Nothing of the sort.  Hmm.
