Re-entry

I am just settling back into my regular life after 6 profound days of learning at USM. I'm happy to say I've completed the first year of my Masters, including the year-end lab. For me the lab was an incredible experience. I got to witness how far my classmates and I have come in terms of our counseling skills. It's becoming much more natural to sit back as the counselor, trusting that the client has all the resources necessary to shift into greater awareness and more effective ways of relating to themselves and the world. Because of this increasing trust and the remarkable skills they teach at USM, it's now a complete pleasure to watch my entire class unfolding as we move through diverse journeys. I have had such wonderful opportunities to see our faculty in action; its such an inspiration to see great counselors at work and absorb their techniques. After experiencing such a nurturing and educational environment, it's a transition to be back at home.

I had no idea going into this program that my class as a whole would reach this depth of learning and loving. I feel such an incredible support coming from my class and the University as a whole, it really seems to be a forum for individuals to sky-rocket into their dreams. Every month we hear more and more success stories from people who are "going for it" out there in the world. The remarkable thing is that we now have this incredible platform of trust and a whole skill set as we enter the second year of the program, which I hear is wonderful and also very intense. After a lab like that, I couldn't wait to sign up for more. More thoughts to come as I go through this program.
