...P.S. Um, yeah. Pica and rumination. Just. Yeah. <br /><br />Definitely. Sense of humor required.

It's a bit of a mind-blower, I must admit. The bummer is that, even after this long, I wouldn't even dare say I always "get it" when my clients are poking and prodding at me. But they certainly have taught me a thing or two.<br /><br />Dirk (and Rachel), I would definitely say that without a sense of humor I'd have given up a long time ago (and I've got a lot of "long time" in my "ago" at this point). :-)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, guys!Roiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840915191850723381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2906560836708126523.post-27650713911654060282010-01-26T08:40:47.629-05:002010-01-26T08:40:47.629-05:00Hey Roia!

Yeah I remember my first month or so on my first music therapy job, after moving about 760 miles away, and being introduced to a combination of pica and rumination disorder. Okay that is a big understatement. I agree with Rachel. A sense of humor is of great value. Well, moving great distances sometimes helps with these things too. :)Dirk Cushenberyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02735431425440712270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2906560836708126523.post-43197683452662970432010-01-25T12:28:49.858-05:002010-01-25T12:28:49.858-05:00Great post, Roia.

I also like to think back to my first sessions with my students, most of whom I've been working with for 3 years now (I can't imagine 17 or 18 years - wow!). I had several of those "what the heck am I doing here?!" moments myself, which makes me laugh now that I understand everyone's individual quirks and signals (most of the time). That makes such a world of difference!Rachel Rambachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736981779249621711noreply@blogger.com
