This year I started a two-year postgraduate programme of infant and adolescent clinical psychology. I singed to a line of work that is theoretically specific to Systemic and Narrative psychology, so half of my subjects relate to that line of study and work. The other half are curses that everyone, no matter their line of study, has to take, such as child and adolescent psychopathology and thesis preparation.  I'd say that the workload is a lot less than I anticipated. For some reason, I thought that this University and specifically, a postgraduate programme would require more work and time, but it wasn't like that, not really. The facilities are a lot different from the ones offered to undergraduate students. The buildings are a lot more modern, clean and pretty. One thing that I don't like very much is the fact that the room we always take our classes have big windows and no curtains, so the light is always hitting us in the face. But hey, if that's the price to

Since before I was born, my family from my dad's side has had the tradition of going to the beach for two weeks in the summer, to a little place called "El Tabito" in El Tabo beach. This place is semi-private and has a lot of cabins and a direct path to the sea. Since it’s mostly private, there’s a group of people that go every year and we get together there. I made a lot of friends there when I was growing up. So I would like to go there with my siblings, their partners and my dad.       I would also like to make a trip to the south of Chile with my partner, we haven't decided yet if we are going or where to, since we usually do things spontaneously. I would love to go to Valdivia, Chiloé or Punta Arenas.  The activities that I like to do when I go on holidays are not that adventurous. I like to sleep and rest a lot, go to the beach, maybe bathe in the sea, read, go out to eat, take walks, watch movies and just enjoy not having responsibilities to att

What you’re about to experience is hard fangirling, and I apologize in advance. Since this week’s blog theme is a free topic  and my mind is virtualy fried , the only thing I could think of was this song that I’ve been, honestly, abusing, given how many times I’ve pressed replay. The song’s called “GUY.exe”, it’s by Superfruit and of course I’m listening to it at this very moment. First of all, I’ll tell you something about how I got to know these guys. About 4 years ago I saw a video online of 5 people singing, but something was different about them. It was the “Evolution of music” by Pentatonix, and they chose a bunch of iconic songs to sing, delivering harmonies, bass and beat box completely acapella. I was so amazed, and what was also great was that they looked like simple people, nothing too distant from you or me. The 3 who are on the top row knew each other from highschool, the other two they found later, and formed this group. They went on a singing competition sho

As some of you may know from my past posts, I am currently working on getting my master's degree, and since my relationship with psychology has suffered a crisis, I'll go on a limb here and say that I won't be doing any more studying, at least for a while, as I reserve my right to change my mind ;) Being honest, the experience hasn’t been as dreadful as I might make it sound; that comes off just because of my relationship with psychology itself, but the positive aspects of having this experience must be recognized, I think. I would say that I’ve liked getting to know professionals who have had years of experience in the specialized areas that I like (systemic and narrative practice), developing more knowledge on this areas, and most of all, what takes the price of the best aspect of this experience is knowing my classmates. Our group is small and is formed only by strong and caring women, who have been the best companions throughout this journey. Also I got to know th
