As I near the end of my two current courses "Identity & Ethics in Counseling" and "Mental Health Foundations", I am struck by the level of support extended by classmates from both classes. I wonder to myself, does this support come from the fact that my peers are working toward careers in the mental health field - and are therefore 'hardwired' to help others, or is it a normal and natural part of graduate life?
Ultimately, it makes no matter though - support is support and I am appreciative for any and all that I receive. Myself and my fellow graduate students are all living through different facets of our lives, and are spread across the country and the globe. The daily pressures that we each experience differ from person to person, but we all share a common goal and enjoy supporting one another as best as possible during the process.

Karma and Mental Health
I know it's been quite some time since I have posted any new posts to my blog. My apologies! There are a myriad of reasons but ultimately they all fall under the word 'excuse', so - there you go!
Incidentally, I am lucky in the fact that the judge presiding over my court case against my ex-husband (in which I am the defendant and he is the plaintiff), seems to be going partly in my favor. We have been ordered into mediation, at a horrific rate of $300/hr. The good news, is that due to our discrepancy in incomes, my ex-husband has been asked to pay 80% of the fees, while I am responsible for 20%!
So, I think karma is cutting me some slack. I admit however, that where feelings and emotions are concerned, karma may work well for one person but be equally as bad for the other. I wish my ex-husband no ill will, I simply look forward to a conflict free future, which at some point I hope will no longer be just in the future - but instead a day-to-day reality.
