I've been on a bit of a blog holiday. My new summer schedule... well, sucks. I wake up at 5:30 am to get to the hospital, rush home to pick up the kids since there is either no or very expensive aftercare from camp, all the activities a 6 & 7 year old need to flourish and then hurriedly get to bed, wake up and do the same thing the next morning. Until the weekend, when I get to see private patients, and start the week all over again.
It's nice having longer hours in the afternoon & especially being with my kids without homework and annoying uniforms. But alas, it's put a bend in my creative endeavors and blog escape. So I will see you all in the occasional moments this summer, but otherwise, have a nice cool glass of lemonade for me. :-)

Welcome to Psych City
Hello & Welcome...
I'm an aspiring writer with a full time job as a psychotherapist and mother of two tow-head elementary school kids. Did I forget to mention I am also full time employed as Chief Cook and Laundry Engineer? Although these roles leave me scant moments to write, I steal them when I can in hopes that 20 years from now I will have an archive to draw from. However, I submit and submit just in case someone wants me sooner.
I work at an inpatient psychiatric facility which often serves as both inspiration and fortitude in my journey as a writer. I also have a private practice where I see less severely suicidal or psychotic patients - more towards the functionally neurotic group in which most of us fall. In either setting, I am never ceased to be amazed at the willingness to start fresh in the face of pain, the resilience of people and the place that we all come from - love.
And so here we are in my blog at PsychCity, USA, where I hope we can create a forum to find our creative spirit and kick start our writing pens, or just plain let off some steam.

Nothing wrong with taking a break. Hope summer gets less crazy for you, and that you are able to enjoy your time with your kids :)
It sounds like a hectic but fun summer. Nice to hear from you again!
I've just done the same.
And I'm sipping the 'ade in your name.
:-)
Thanks - :-)
Chris, just spike that 'ade for me.
Breaks are good for the soul. Enjoy yours, but check in once in a while.
Hope your summer went well! We miss you around.
Hi WriterKat,
