That was my favorite job! I also founded a school for extremely disturbed teenagers and ran it for several years, dealing with both administration and therapy. (I also founded a very large school for highly gifted students which actually required almost as much of my psych knowledge, lol.) I LOVE having others surmise what is wrong with amichelle, but I just don't feel comfortable with doing that myself. I'm certainly not judging those who do.
I haven't had to work in many years, so the little counseling that I dabble in now is with specific behavioral problems, not diagnosis. I currently write white papers on topics (primarily in educational areas) that interest me and I deal with several issues in the political arena.
And yes, I enjoy reading this thread...
