Constance(Connie)'s Story
I really graduated in 1974 because although I was a member of the class of '75. Because I was able to graduate a year early and move forward with university early, I did. I listed myself in class of '75 instead of '74 so that I could be in touch more easily with friends from high school. If you don't remember me in 1975, it's because I wasn't there anymore!
Life
My Spouse
Met At a mutual friend's Christmas Party on Christmas Day - "across a crowded room" ;-) 21 plus years ago.
My Pets
Rascal is a Jack Russell Terrier.
Dodger is a min-pin mix.
Blackie the barn cat decided to move in elsewhere when we got Dodger! Or, I prefer to think that's what happened!
Two horses: ok, I confess that for me they are loveable lawn ornaments but for my husband, they are hobby partners.
My Kids
I have a beautiful, sweet stepdaughter who is 31 and a speech pathologist. She was a cutie pie at 9 when we met, and at 31 she is even more amazing. I have such hope for the world with people like her in it.
My Job
I do outpatient psychotherapy with adolescents and adults in a variety of areas including eating disorders, anxiety, depression, midlife spirituality issues, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and couples' counseling.
School
One of my heroes - Miss Glass - English and Latin Teacher -
She was a big inspiration because she was an adventurer who travelled internationally as a single woman when it wasn't that common to do so as early as the 1930's and '40's. She encouraged me in developing my own identit...Expand for more
y and to make sure that I had a life and a family, not just a career. That was in the days when women often thought of one or the other.
College
I went to LSU for my bachelors in psych from 75-79 (ok, so it took me five years to get a four year degree but I have a gazillion hours in everything and anything because I love to learn and to be exposed to different kinds of people. My parents were SO generous to support that attitude. I did a semester of graduate school after graduatiing with my bachelors but decided I wanted to move out of state and work in the real world - good move, and then went back to grad school from '85-86 at LSU Baton Rouge to finish my master's in social work (psychotherapy). My educastional hobby right now is science...taking some classes at the university.
Workplace
As a clinical social worker, I have worked inpatient and outpatient doing psychotherapy with adults, children, adolescents and couples. I enjoy work with marriage counseling and the anxiety disorders the most but have done a lot with eating disorders and a general practice also. I have a special interest in The Enneagram. I've been in private practice for over twenty years and love also to integrate the Enneagram - a personality typology that helps us to understand how we view the world and what motivates us, and to truly see and appreciate those who are different from us. The Enneagram also helps us to see areas we need to grow in so we can not only relate better to others, but so we can be more whole.
