Dragonfly Psychology Services is transforming
There is a saying that “change is inevitable” and another one from the Buddhist tradition that says: “life is impermanent”. In that vein, Dragonfly Psychology Services is transforming; after seven years of providing psychotherapy as an occupational health specialist, I have transitioned into a different area of work, occupational health consulting, primarily performing medical-legal vocational assessments. My website for Raven Work Health and Vocational Consulting provides details of my services in this area.
Dragonfly Psychology Services is now a vehicle for my articles covering psychological topics such as worry, perfectionism, and “what is therapy and PTSD”. I invite you to review the Dragonfly site for points of interest. I intend to write more articles for the site and compile all the articles in a book with the provisional title of Dragonfly Wisdom: A Collection. Now that I have put this on paper it becomes a stronger call to get down to work on my new book. I love writing and the challenge is now making the time for practice. I hope you enjoy the new format thanks to my web designer Jaden Nyberg.
