friends of mental health

calling all friends of mental health. please bring your hearts, minds, wisdom, questions, comments, concerns, and curiosities regarding the field of mental health over to the new Exploring Counseling blog. ryan oelke opens the show with this welcome

I would like to welcome everyone to Exploring Counseling, a blog dedicated to exploring counseling from all angles and perspectives - compassionately, consciously, and intentionally. We hope that this will be a place for discussion and discovery, as well as a resource for all. I find it a bit difficult to say exactly what form this will take, but in a way, that is great - it/we will go with the flow and creativity that manifests from our blogging and interaction with anyone interested in issues related to counseling and psychology.

awhile back i posted my thoughts about this new blog, here's an excerpt:

i am extremely passionate about the field of therapy and would love to be a part of a community that is working to propagate a holistic, integral perspective of what a therapist and therapy is. there are so many stereotypes about counselors and psychologists that simply are not true and there is a wide population of people who have been let down and disregarded in traditional therapeutic processes. we hope to use this blog to explore and focus on anything and everything that is related to counseling and psychology.

does this sound interesting to you? do you want to participate?
