When Dr. David Gussak send you a message on LinkedIn, along with others, and you respond thinking he won't reply. But then he does, and you reply back, and then he replies again, and you realize you're having a conversation with Dr. Gussak about his blog, and your career path...then you die=) . #IhadaGreatMorning #ArtTherapy

Last Thursday with the adolescent girls unit we finger painted a mural. Theme: utilizing the coping skill of making art in order to express and manage emotions without causing harm to yourself or others.... (Patient): "Ms. Lauren can I put paint on your face"? Me: "Um yes! What would finger painting be if it wasn't on faces?" =)

Art response for research proposal due today. Theme: Aolescent rape survivors and PTSD. How can this population benefit from art therapy? #GradSchool #arttherapy #counselingpsychology

If there were a peep hole into the life and thought process of Lauren, it would look like this!=) #arttherapy #artislife
