My Introduction to Psychology 5: Boyfriend, girlfriend things…

A relationship freezes a moment, cuts a piece out of it, dangles it in front of our noses to see.

Eternity...

“We were friends for over six years before we entered into our six-and-one-half year relationship. And thus, when the relationship ended, not only did I lose a boyfriend, but I also lost a friend. Even though we murmured something about “staying friends”. “

My Introduction to Psychology 4: "Why don't you do something else productive?"

You may ask me that"Rather than doing talking therapy and not doing anything, why don't you do something more productive?" Another proper question.

Since you have been reading my writings for a while, you know that I won't give you the answers that textbooks would have given to you.

No, I changed my mind; I will give you a bit practical answer. Psychotherapy done properly helps to decrease the symptoms of clients significantly. Actually, some people would be more seriously impaired or even die without proper psychological intervention...
Let's say that psychotherapy is one of the critical ingredients of successful treatments...I don’t believe in a specific psychological theories; but every mainstream therapy school works.

My Introduction to Psychology3: Do I read your mind?

I know that you will ask this question to me, sooner or later. And you know that I won't answer you...You didn't forget that you are talking to a shrink...

Good luck for your soul...

My Introduction to Psychology2

My Introduction to Psychology2

I write to exist…I write to tweak my tune, so it would sound genuine to me…

I write to bridge the gap between me and the others…me and the well-defined, proper, and normal…

The gap ultimately belongs to myself…inside…my façade and true self…my fake alter ego and something quivering…

My Introduction to Psychology 1

My Introduction to Psychology1

I view psychology…as a personal and intimate matter. I ask you to hold onto saying that “that is such and such approach”. As soon as you define my theoretical orientation or simply label my concepts, you might interfere my imagination…


This writing, an online textbook of introduction to psychology, is an authentic one…I will not follow the standard organization of writing in this book. Writing in fragments…you may take it as lack of cohesion while others may take this writing style as a genuine attempt to dig into the wealth of…what would I say…my core?

An inspiration/A story

I would like to limit my journal writing, for now, until I get an inspiration.
(Inspiration in this case means that a story shows itself and urges me to write about it, no the other way around.) I haven’t gotten inspiration in the last few months. I know it is coming soon…

The title of this blog

Well…this blog still continues. I already took chemistry, biology, and microbiology finals at my current school (guess where?) last week. Here I am, planning for a brief vacation for the last minute.

Regarding to the title of this blog, I am not practicing psychotherapy right now. But whatever I will do in my life will reflect my background. I won’t change at the core…

My unplugged family

I just emailed my mother from the school PC. My family had been one of the most unplugged folks until she have gotten the text messaging function on her cell phone. The deal is; she types in Japanese and some of my school PC can display the language. I use the roman alphabet to write her. Emailing my family makes me nostalgic- when I came to US long time ago, I communicated with my family with long-distance phones, faxes, and letters…

Why do I keep blogging?

[Why do I keep blogging?]
Another faculty member mentioned my blog (this one), asked me why I do this. He is not judging my motivation, but curious. This is why I am elaborating on this topic…

First, I am blogging to proof that I am here and I will be here. I will not disappear, not from the cyberspace and playgrounds of thinking. Second, I am here to proof myself that what I am thinking is important, at least, to me and ppl around me…

Hmmm…my LAN network has been down for the last two days. [title only]
