I passed! I have a projected mark of B+ ! ! ! !
The academics hammered me. What do you understand about, what can you tell me about, what was your rationale for X,Y,Z, What is your position on X,Y,Z, and why !
I am writing this about 20 mins after getting home, it's 18:47 and I have been up since 05:00 (I had 5 hours sleep) so I am a little at sixes and sevens.
I don't know how to say thank you enough for your well wishes.
One key question in the Psychotherapy that I have been training in is "Where is your evidence to believe this, that or the other".
Well, my evidence is that people assured me of their good vibes and prayers and I passed!
I need to say bye for now.............Sincere heartfelt thanks, Ian XXX
p.s. I am a real Psychotherapist!

Hello my people! Que pasa?
I just wanted to share this with you, I have droned on about my Psychotherapy training many a time on these pages. Well, this time next week it will be all over. Next weekend I will wake up and not have to read a theory book, write an assignment or reflect on my practice.
I have one more obstacle to overcome though next Thursday is my final clinical exam.
A twenty minute presentation on a client that I have worked with followed by 10 minutes questioning from my peers, followed by 30 minutes questioning from the Academics (who could ask me anything at all).
I am the first one to present so please send me your good vibes next Thursday about 9.30 a.m. if you would.
What a relief it will be, if you or anybody that you know is thinking of doing the first two years of a Masters degree in 10 months please consider it long and hard.
The rewards will be there though and when I get my new house with loads of space and bedrooms you are all welcome!
Lots of love......FF xxx

Not that I'm planning to start a theme here at all but do you like my new, new T-shirt??
Thursday the 25th of June 7.00 pm UK time (11.00 am West coast America) I am walking around Meadowhall shopping centre...http://www.meadowhall.co.uk/website/ with no real purpose and I wander into HMV.
I pick up a greatest hits CD by yes, you guessed it Michael Jackson, it's £7, it would be great in my car, boost me on my long trips to work etc, but nah, I talk myself out of it.
Two hours later 9.00 pm UK and 1.00 pm in L.A. I am back home ( I didn't mention the nearly bought CD thing) and my wife tells me that one of her colleagues has managed to get tickets to see a MJ concert in London, I say fuck it, lets us try and get tickets, put the cost on a credit card or something, the subject gets dropped and we go to sleep very soon after, oblivious.
You can guess the rest.
My brain and emotions are fragile and fucked up enough from a massive year of psychotherapy training, I now feel even more warped.
Bizzarely though I am highly inspired and immensely thankful for my life and the things I can do and do with it.

p.s. Spare hug anybody?

Hello boys and girls, sorry for the blank blog yesterday glitch after glitch you see.
I havn't posted lately because I get paranoid about writing the same old, same old.
Thought I'd share with you though an amazing experience that I had the other day though....
...I was born with a curved spine which over the years affected my left foot
more and more, I walked with crutches for 17 years although after terrific surgery in 2000 I walk un-aided now.
All this means I have to wear "special shoes"
and I am very grateful for these indeed, but I can't just go to a shop and buy shoes, I know, so what, but it would be nice.
However, the other day Mrs.Forcefield suggested I try on one of her Crocs, ......theres no point I said, they will just come off as I walk, she insisted and well, well, well, it didn't come off even if I tried to shake it off!
Amazing! I have found other footwear that doesn't hurt or feel uncomfortable or come off!
So, I am now the proud owner of..........
I know this might sound trivial but it's been a really big deal for me!
I'm off to buy a third pair after I get paid!
Well, til next time, be real won't you!
