So, I was sitting in Abmormal Psychology this past week, listening to the prof talk about how psychology has evolved to this point, including with fault finding, trying to find wrong in ourselves and in each other...
Which led me to a thought for a 'self-help' book title...

Jessie and I have decided that the pair of us must co-author "what's Wrong With Me? What's Wrong With You?"
In the meantime, stay attuned *cackle*
How is I'm OK, You're OK? I glanced at it once, long before I had any reason to. Now that I have a significant other, and he gets the brunt of my emotional storm, I should probably read it to figure out how both of us can be OK at the same time...in my mind, anyway. :P

"I'm OK, You're OK" is actually fairly easy to understand (at least from my uneducated perspective) - a layman's guide to transactional analysis, as Dr. Harris puts it. I'm enjoying his ideas, especially that of the "data banks" (the filters through which we stream ideas), which are composed of three distinct personalities: the parent, the child, and the adult. He believes these prejudicial blockades influence each and every thought that passes through our heads. I've only made it so far as the second chapter, but already I'm starting to see the same patterns in my own life.
I've begun reading it upon the suggestion of Herr Doktor, who subscribes to similar theories. And coming from such a tyrannical household, it will hopefully help to identify and subsequently cut the apron-strings which have managed to cripple me in recent years. Here's a-hopin'.
