That's funny. I'm planning on also getting my Masters in Psychology, and going into the counseling filed. What is odd, is that I really have no desire to specialize in addiction...I mean if it comes up, I'll deal with it on a case by case basis, but there is no particular attraction in that area, for me.
What I would most like to focus on are issues of human sexuality, of helping people to feel better about their bodies, and their selves, from singles to couples, to help lessen guilt, to demystify, to add to the amount of pleasure in the word, and to reduce the amount of harms.
