My Latest Thoughts on Therapy: What to Expect in Psychotherapy
Today we talk with Eddie Reese, LPC on What to Expect in Psychotherapy.
Eddie is a psychotherapist with a private practice in Alpharetta, GA. He also describes himself as a reluctant writer who avoids writing by playing golf and music whenever he can. His diverse background (read lots of different jobs), allows him to relate to a wide variety of people whether he is in his therapist’s office or filling up a blank page. His practice focuses on helping people get along, so he named my business Getting Along, Inc.
His diverse background includes working as a bartender, sales trainer, singer, grocery clerk, and was even an Air Force officer. His master’s degree in counseling is from Georgia State University And his varied counseling career includes business consulting, professional development, working in a psychiatric hospital, the juvenile court system, and drug and alcohol recovery treatment centers. While he has been in the helping profession since 1987, Eddie has been in private practice since 1992.
Eddie has also been an adjunct professor of counseling at Argosy University, where he taught graduate students for several years. He is a member of the American Academy of Psychotherapists and former member of The Licensed Professional Counselors Association of Georgia, where he served as Public Relations Chair. He is also a former committee member of the Southern Region of the American Academy of Psychotherapists and a member of the now-defunct Psychotherapy Guild.

Does anybody here know the actual poem? Milton Rosenberg could recite it from memory.
It’s Robert Burns but I wouldn’t quote it here.
Why not quote it? Serious question.
I don’t know. Maybe you can. It’s not a poem of humble introspection or personal insight, it’s a behind-one’s-back mocking of what Burns sees as people’s pretentiousness and pride of station. It seems outside the tone of the video. It’s called To a Louse. Here is an interpretation in modern English.
One persons opinion. You will increase your efficiency if you do something like Rolfing first and practice something like yoga. I also think that getting bodywork from highly trained Chinese style massage therapists, particularly when you do the feet separately, adds even more. Some people don’t like Rolfing so they could just do that, as well. Specifically, you feel like yourself *and your memories are better ordered, or worse, you actually remember them.
edit
Very big caveat: when I’m talking about Chinese style, I mean guys that are trained in China. I think you can get the equivalent without that, but odds are you won’t. The easy way to find the exceptions are probably in the orbit of internal Chinese martial arts schools.
Minnesota has a big Chinese connection, so it’s easily gotten at the mall here. The ones in San Francisco are better.
Well, clearly Eddie and I had a disagreement on people. Not huge.
See my edit above if you missed it.
The other thing I wonder about is art therapy for ordering your brain and helping you remember stuff.
