Lessons from the psychotherapy chair
I have been in both chairs in the psychotherapy room, and I have learned the value of good therapy, and I have learned the value of bad therapy. Not only have I learned the value of therapy, but I have also learned a lot of lessons in both chairs. Today, I occupy the psychotherapist chair and sometimes the client chair, and I continue to learn lessons that both surprise me and teach me that a graduate degree does not guarantee expertise or even basic knowledge about mental health in today's world. I want to share some of the things that I have learned from both chairs that have set the course of my journey both as a therapist and a human being. These are the lessons learned by an OG WooWoo Therapist during 28 years in the therapist chair.

Today I visit a topic that is one of my favorites and gives breadth to my woowooness. The paranormal isn't a topic that one normally thinks about when they think about psychotherapy but it is relevant since several clients over the years have had paranormal experiences and needed to figure out if they were losing their minds. And sometimes they just needed a witness to their telling of their experiences.
