I didn’t think I would need to set a goal for myself with regards to blogging more often. I thought I would find the motivation just seeping out of my mind and heart. Well, it’s been almost two weeks since my last blog and nothing’s been really seeping out except for a strong desire to eat chocolate and sleep (ah, Christmas). So, I’m giving WordPress’ “Postaweek2011” a shot. Looking forward to the challenge…

I’ve been working on some topics that I think might be of interest to readers. Most of the topics I’ll blog about will be inspired by some of my clinical work, as well as some of my other interests from the field of psychology. One of the first areas that I’ll be writing about over the next several weeks will be on the topic of addictions. I’ll focus on both addictions to substances (e.g., alcohol, drugs) and behaviours (e.g., sex, gambling). The latter is often referred to as “process addictions.” Looking forward to sharing some knowledge…and developing the habit of blogging more often.
