Fall Snapshot: Depending on Christ

November 11, 2016 by Anonymous No Comments

As an aspiring psychologist, I was recently in a training session that taught us how to validate clients’ feelings—to show respect for their feelings, display empathy, and exhibit active listening so that they feel heard. While learning how to empathize with the feelings of others, however, I’ve also been reflecting on my own feelings, especially transitioning into my first year in a Master’s program in New York City.

August 16, 2016 by Kateri Collins No Comments

Thankfulness and Graduate Exams (Scholar’s Compass)

August 13, 2015 by Bethany Bowen-Wefuan No Comments

During preparations for my preliminary exams, the cliché “blessing in disguise” seemed like an accurate description of graduate school. Although I knew that graduate school was a gift from God, at the time, it felt like a big mistake.
