Thank you, I truly appreciate your kind words....

Thank you for the suggestion, I have a local NSA chapter that I go to occasionally, I think that the other day I was just particularly frustrated with people acting like jerks in college....

I would love to hear about your experience it sounds pretty interesting, is it Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy focused?...
