Hello everyone! I'm new here and I've yet to really discover what this forum is all about. I'm Romanian and a recent psychology graduate. I am currently training in transactional analysis to become a therapist (I still have a few hundred hours of training to go before I can practice psychotherapy).

I found links to this forum in an article on "back seat drivers" in psychotherapy. I am mainly interested in psychotherapy topics, since I am a client as well as trainee, soon-to-be therapist.

At the moment, I am especially interested in discussions regarding clients' and therapists' subjective experiences of therapy, ethics, the various uses of each therapeutic school and incorporating elements from different schools of thought in developing one's own style as well as adapting to each individual client. I also write poetry (as well as publish and participate in poetry competitions and events) and I am especially interested in the use of poetry in therapy as well as the use of therapy in poetry.

Other schools of thought I am interested in or curious about are Rogerian therapy, Adlerian therapy, and art-therapy. Also, I am of course very interested in general psychology and any topics related to the human psyche. I look forward to participating on this forum and getting to know more people here and hear others' experiences and thoughts.

Welcome to the Forum DianaC.

I use art and writing and poetry to help me in my therapy.

Although painting is more of a winter activity for me, I read a book by Christina Baldwin and it really helped me open up to myself. Not something I am used to doing.

Very nice to meet you and awesome that you are thinking of using these as tools for therapy. 8)

Diana,
My name is Prophet. I joined recently because of some things going on in my life and I also want to help others as much as I can too! One thing you should know about me is I love poetry as well, and ADORE writing! I am also super interested in new methods of psychology, and even the affects certain colors have on people. I really think you will be amazed at the feeling in these posts.

Oh and one more thing, Welcome.
