From a book I'm reading...

"I am interviewing my new outpatient, Lisa, a fidgety young woman with darting eyes that avoid contact with my own. She perches on the edge of her seat, seemingly ready to bolt, her left leg jiggling fervently as she describes to me the circumstances leading up to her most recent psychiatric hospitalization

Irony in icons? ... nah.

That's really cool. What's the book title, and what's it about?

Yeah, that is ironic...

Well, this was a quote used in a book I'm reading. I'd have to look into what book it actually came from, but the one I'm reading that quote it is "The Resilient Practitioner: Burnout Prevention and Self-Care Strategies for Counselors, Therapists, Teachers and Health Professionals." *looks in the book's references* Ah, okay, so the quote is from an article called "Lifeline" in a book called "A Perilous Calling: The Hazards of Psychotherapy Practice." Fun stuff. ^^;; I like to read about cases and experiences from people who have been in the profession longer than me. It's good to learn their wisdom and prepare myself for what to expect.

Awesome. That's definitely a good idea to do, the reading on other people's experiences, I mean. You must absorb the wisdom, yesssssss.

I really liked the way that excerpt of an exceprt of an excerpt (or something XD) was written. I think it'd be a neat read. Maybe I'll try and find it sometime. XD
