Monday February 11 is the date of my first WLE day. For my first day, I requested that my mentor, Fillmore, give me a break down, or "overview", of what his job description entailed. He stated that he was a consultant, which again he stated, could describe a lot of different things. The basic jist of what it is he does is that once a potential client tries all of the standard methods, mainstream psychologists, regularly used options, and the like, they call Fillmore. Fillmore has a Masters in psychology, worked in therapy, and has extensive knowledge in hawaiian, african, and asian mental healing techniques. Having studied and lived in different countries, Fillmore has had years of experience in psychoanalysis.
The apartment/environment was pretty laid back. It was casual and cool. Fillmore was the only one there. He stated before that it was pretty much a one man job. The environment was very homey with artwork and the like hung on was. There were some drums and bongos and a computer. It was chill. Because its his house, I'm not really going to go into detail. It was cool, I'm looking forward to next Monday where I get to sit in on session.

Good entry!
Couple of things:
1) Your mentor's name is spelled "Philmore" =)
2) Possible things you could blog about in the future: How did Philmore decide to become a consultant? What exactly is psychoanalysis? And of course, I'm looking forward to hearing more about what you are learning about the profession, and maybe even what you learn when you sit in on sessions. I know it will be hard to blog on anything too specific, because of confidentiality, so you might talk to your mentor about what's appropriate to share.
Have a good day tomorrow!
