Several lanes of southbound I-395 are blocked due to a vehicle fire.
A van caught fire in the HOV lanes near Shirlington Circle around 2:45 p.m. The fire was extinguished by firefighters, who are still on scene examining the van's engine compartment.
Currently, two mainline lanes and one HOV lane is squeezing by the scene, with HOV backups extending to the Pentagon.
Separately, there are currently significant delays on westbound Columbia Pike due to a reported three-vehicle crash just past Glebe Road. At least two injuries were reported in that crash, while no injuries were reported as result of the vehicle fire.
(Updated at 10:45 a.m.) Arlington County firefighters are battling a fully-engulfed car fire in a Rosslyn office building's parking garage.
The blaze was reported just after 10:15 a.m. on the B1 level of the Waterview building garage, at 1919 N. Lynn Street. The building is home to companies like CEB and Deloitte.
As of 10:35 a.m., firefighters on the scene reported that they had the fire under control. Sprinklers in the garage helped to keep it contained, according to scanner traffic.
Two people are being evaluated for possible injuries.
Firefighters are currently checking to make sure the fire didn't spread to other levels. They're also assessing smoke conditions in the garage.
Between the fire and lane closures due to construction, drivers should expect significant traffic delays on Lynn Street in Rosslyn.
Arlington County police and firefighters rushed to aid a car that caught fire on southbound I-395 earlier this morning.
The fire began near the Boundary Channel Drive exit on southbound I-395 just after 8:30 a.m. White smoke could be seen pouring from a black Nissan for a period of about ten minutes this morning.
Arlington County firefighters extinguished the blaze shortly after arriving on the scene. No injuries were reported in the incident, according to scanner traffic.

(Updated at 11:15 a.m.) A car with D.C. license plates caught fire in the parking lot of the Safeway at 3713 Lee Highway earlier today.
The fire, which was first reported around 10:15 a.m. this morning, was extinguished shortly after firefighters arrived. Nobody was injured during the blaze, said a firefighter on the scene. It was not immediately clear how the fire started.
Firefighters blocked off a portion of the parking lot, causing a small lineup of cars. The smell of burned rubber and charred vehicle components hung in the air as a small crowd gathered to watch firefighters work. A burned car seat and a broken vacuum were seen on the ground behind the car's open trunk.
Emergency crews left the scene around 10:30 this morning.
The remnants of a recent car fire were still sitting on a busy road near Shirlington around lunchtime Monday.
A BMW 3-series sedan, with its front end burned out, is parked along 31st Street, a road that connects Shirlington and the Fairlington neighborhood.
The acrid stench of burned vehicle components was still fresh in the air for residents walking their dogs near past the car. There were no fire department vehicles or tow trucks in the vicinity when ARLnow.com walked by the wreck.
No word yet on when the vehicle will be removed.
A car fire blocked the intersection of Old Dominion Drive and Lorcom Lane, near the Lee Heights Shops, Friday night.
The fire was reported around 8:45 p.m. A silver BMW M5 sports sedan caught fire near the intersection. What was a vehicle fire call was upgraded to a hazmat call after the car's fuel tank ruptured.
The fire was extinguished and firefighters used absorbent material to help contain the fuel spill.
It was at least the second fully-involved vehicle fire in Arlington on Friday, after a car burst into flames in the Barcroft neighborhood earlier that morning.

No one was injured after a car burst into flames in the Barcroft neighborhood this morning.
The incident happened around 8 a.m., at the intersection of S. Buchanan Street and 9th Street S.
Police say they responded to a report of a smoldering car at the intersection. The smoldering quickly turned into flames, as captured in a photo taken by a police officer.
Arlington firefighters responded to extinguish the blaze. A county fire marshal also responded, to investigate the cause of the fire.

N. Lexington Street was closed for 45 minutes today after a dump truck caught on fire, causing it to leak hydraulic fluid.
The fire ignited in the truck's engine compartment around noon, near the intersection of N. Lexington Street and Little Falls Road.
The dump truck leaked about three to five gallons of fluid, said Battalion Chief Matt Herbert, of the Arlington County Fire Department. The fire was started by a mechanical issue, he said.
Hazmat crews had already been to the scene as of 1:15 p.m. They put absorbent on the fluid, which prevented it from going into the storm drains, Herbert said. Most of the fluid was on the right side of the road against the edge.
"The absorbent picks it [hydraulic fluid] up and the company cleans it up and takes it to an authorized dump," he said.
A hazmat crew and other members of the fire department, including the fire marshal, were still on scene waiting for the contractor to come pick up the absorbent. N. Lexington Street is open, but one lane remains blocked off.
The hydraulic fluid and absorbent are not dangerous to residents Herbert said.
Update at 2:20 p.m. — The scene is being cleared and nearby roads are being reopened.
Firefighters are on the scene of downed wires and a car fire near the intersection of Lorcom Lane and Lee Highway in Waverly Hills.
A high voltage line came down on top of six cars around noon, according to Arlington County Fire Department spokeswoman Lt. Sarah Marchegiani. At least one of the cars caught fire and smoke from the blaze could be seen from as far away as Ballston.
Video (below) show the smoke and fire coming from what appears to be a small parking lot next to an apartment building.
It's unclear if anyone was inside the cars when the power lines came down, but no injuries have been reported. No word yet on what caused the wires to come down.
Firefighters were unable to douse the flames with water due to the live wires, Marchegiani said. A Department of Defense foam tanker was dispatched to the scene in order to extinguish the fire, according to scanner traffic.
A Dominion Power crew has arrived on the scene and will be working to shut off power to the lines.
Northbound Lorcom Lane is currently closed between Old Dominion Drive and Lee Highway due to the fire department activity. Police are planning on closing two lanes of Old Dominion at Lorcom, according to scanner traffic.

Pork Chop and Rosemary Cream Bake
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 30 mins
I believe I first got this from an old Taste of Home magazine, it's been YEARS and I have modified it to our tastes. I have actualy used breaded, baked chicken breasts in place of the pork chops at times. This is really comforting, rich and flavorful. Don't let the ginger and rosemary scare you off as it did me for a while! I love to serve this over a bed of hot buttered egg noodles.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 pork chops
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 2⁄3 cup chicken broth
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1 (2 3/4 ounce) can fried onions
- oil, chops (for frying)
- hot buttered egg noodles
- salt and pepper
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Brown the chops in a small amount of oil in a skillet, a few minutes on each side.
- In medium bowl, mix the soup, broth, sour cream, ginger, rosemary and half of the can of onions. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour this sauce into a 9" x 13" lightly greased baking dish.
- Place the browned chops on top of the sauce.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Uncover and top with the remaining onions.
- BAke an additional 5 minutes or until bubbly and onions start to sizzle a bit.
- Serve over hot buttered egg noodles.

I love this recipe! Seriously...it's so easy to go together and the taste is awesome. It's like comfort food with ease! I am guilty of using just a bit more of the fried onions in the sauce mixture just cause it taste so darn good. We've had this dozens of times, with pork and with chicken...over noodles and over rice. I cut the meat in half because there is only 2 of us but leave the rest of the ingredients the same. We will continue to make and enjoy this for years! Please try it, you won't be disappointed!
This was very good, quick to put together. I used fresh rosemary (I love fresh rosemary)other than that made as directed.Made for fall PAC 2009

Quiet tire, Great handling, Good value.
Very pleased with these tires! Road noise is much less than old tires.
Very happy with the tires. Changed the whole ride of the car.
Satisfied with the tires for the price. They are a great value.
The tires are a smooth ride and good value.
A little pricey, but I think for the extra treadwear warranty they're worth it. Great smooth ride, handled towing a small trailer and all the weather I've seen no problem, would purchase again if there's another rebate offer.
This is my first time purchasing a Yokohama product, so far very satisfied with them.
Nothing fancy but, good quality.
Yokohama tires were a good purchase considering the rebates and upfront costs.
The tires have been great! Will be getting 2 more soon!

The Osler Institute
Excellence in Continuing Medical Education
The Osler Institute has over thirty years of experience in preparing physicians for their board examinations. We can help you today. A survey of Osler participants shows significantly higher pass rates for Osler students compared with those who did not take our course. The difference in pass rates is difficult to explain away by self-selection in attendance over-representing those who would have passed without taking the Osler course.
"Osler gives … unfair advantage" said a Board Trustee. "He's wrong and right," reported an Osler participant who heard the trustee's comment. "The course does give candidates an advantage – but it's not unfair." This student had failed his boards before taking the Osler course but told us that he passed easily after doing the course. "This time didn't even feel like an exam. It was like having a discussion with a colleague."
The Osler course can work for you too.

Pound of cure back at home
CarGo, Helton help offensive attack return
DENVER — Carlos Gonzalez homered and Todd Helton had three of the Colorado Rockies' 13 hits in a 9-3 win over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday night.
Troy Tulowitzki, Dexter Fowler and Wilin Rosario had two hits each for a Colorado offense that had scored eight runs in its previous five games.
Luis Valbuena homered and had two RBIs for the Cubs.
Juan Nicasio (6-4) allowed one run on three hits in five innings, striking out three and walking two to get his second straight win since being recalled from Triple-A on July 12. He beat Clayton Kershaw last week.
Carlos Villanueva (2-6) allowed seven runs on nine hits in four-plus innings. He is winless in his last eight starts and his last victory came in relief against Seattle on June 29.
A warm night turned blustery as wind speeds reached 35 mph in the fourth inning. A strong gust coming in from right field helped keep Nate Schierholtz's drive to the wall from going out in the top of the frame, and food wrappers and plastic bags from the stands littered the field in the bottom of the inning.
The wind wasn't strong enough to hold Valbuena's drive in the third. He crushed a 92 mph fastball into the Rockies bullpen to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead. It was his ninth homer of the season.
The Rockies offense woke up in the bottom of the fourth. Helton started it with a one-out single and scored on a groundout. Nicasio walked to put runners on the corners and Fowler followed with a two-run triple to make it 3-1.
Colorado blew it open in the fifth. Gonzalez led off with his team-leading 26th home run into the second deck above the Rockies' bullpen, and three straight singles made it 5-1 and chased Villanueva.
Michael Bowden came on and surrendered an RBI single to Rosario. Charlie Blackmon walked and Fowler hit a sacrifice fly to left to score Helton to make it 7-1.
The Cubs got within 7-3 with single runs in the sixth and seventh, but Tulowitzki added to Colorado's cushion with a two-run double in the eighth.
NOTES: The Rockies placed RHP Rafael Betancourt (appendectomy) on the 15-day DL and recalled RHP Mitchell Boggs from Double-A Tulsa. . . . Helton's double was the 578th of his career and ties him with Wade Boggs for 18th on the career list. . . . Cubs rookie Junior Lake followed Friday's 3-for-4 debut with a single and a walk Saturday. . . . The Rockies will send RHP Tyler Chatwood (5-3) against Chicago's Edwin Jackson (6-10) in today's series finale.

"Christians get very angry toward other Christians who sin differently than they do."
~ Philip Yancey, quoting a friend.
I grew up in a denomination that made homosexuality the gravest of all sins, trumping every other transgression (except murder, maybe).
Many of the people in that church were dutifully self-righteous when it came to certain sins. Those who didn't commit the sins they deemed the worse (externally, that is) saw themselves as more "pure" than their fellow brethren who may have stumbled in those areas.
I regret to say that in my early years as a Christian, I adopted this same attitude. Ironically, these same people winked at the sins of gossip, slander, outbursts of rage, judging the motives of others, and lying. Excuses were routinely made in an attempt to justify these "lesser" sins (so the thinking went). In addition, most of us were monumentally disinterested and unmoved by things like poverty, racism, sexism, genocide, and homelessness.[Continue Reading…]

Major legislation that would authorize account wagering and unionization of backstretch workers cleared the California Senate Appropriations Committee Monday and now heads to the Senate floor.Less than a year ago, Gov. Gray Davis vetoed a telephone account wagering bill. The current measure has widespread support. If the bill is passed by the Senate and Assembly, it would need to have Davis' signature by July 20 to become law.
Major changes have been made to the revised bill, including amendments that affect trainers and backstretch help. Many horse racing officials had problems with the initial wording of the bill, and have been negotiating with labor leaders to make changes.After five days of negotiations, both sides agreed that elections, not a card-check procedure, should be used if workers want to form a union. The new provision would require California Service Employees International to get signatures from 30% of backstretch workers and then hold a vote to decide if there is enough interest to create a union."A significant amount of people had trouble with the bill's original language," said Doug Burge, general manager and executive vice president of the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association. "We were in favor of a secret ballot election, which many unions have. We were glad that we came to a resolution."Burge said a different labor bill has been placed on hold until the outcome of Assembly Bill 471 is determined.John Van de Kamp, president of the Thoroughbred Owners of California, said the organization voted July 5 to accept the bill.
"I don't want to make any predictions," Van de Kamp said of the bill's future. "But the legislature has been very supportive, and played a major role in helping us work with labor."The revised legislation would allow for account wagering by California bettors. Industry officials say telephone wagering would provide a boost to racing and attract more off-track revenue. But Davis vetoed a similar bill last year because he was opposed to an expansion of gambling in a state that has seen a proliferation of Indian casinos in recent years.

Asteroids are some of the many small or minor planets in the solar system that move in oval shaped orbits mostly between Mars and Jupiter The largest of all asteroids is Ceres with a diameter of 1030 km Pallas and Vesta are next with diameters of 550 km each In all there are about 200 asteroids with diameters of more than 97 km with thousands of other smaller ones Though plentiful the Moons mass still belittles the total mass of all asteroids in the solar system The larger bodies tend to have a spherical shape while those with diameters less than 160 km can be elongated and irregular Regardless of the size of the asteroids most rotate on their axis every 5-20 hours Some asteroids may even have their own satellites A common misconception is that asteroids are remains of a former planet It is more likely that asteroids fill space in the solar system where a planet could have formed but was prohibited from doing due to the large gravitational force from Jupiter The asteroid population is growing due to collisions in the asteroid beltSome asteroids which venture closer to earth are easy targets for space missions Close-up pictures of 951 Gaspra were taken by NASAs Galileo space probe while en-route to Jupiter The pictures revealed the lopsided body to be pockmarked with craters and covered by a blanket of loose fragments on the asteroids surface With the everlasting threat of world destruction it is imperative for us to continue our research into space and its components Earths diminutive size in relation to the galaxy leaves it in continuous danger for its existence Ceasing investigation into the unknown realms of the universe will place our world in jeopardy We will not be able to predict and prevent possible monstrous disasters and possibly ArmageddonBibliographyThe Editors of Time-Life Books Cosmic Mysteries The Voyage Through The Universe Alexandria Virginia Time Inc Book Company 1991Terence Dickinson and Jack

What another wonderful day in Northern Michigan! We started the day with a long bike ride to a Lighthouse a few miles north of our campground along the coast. Then we road our bikes along the Big Sable river to a place called the Hamlin Dam. Lots of kids were fishing there. We had to get back to the RV for lunch because we had to switch sites for our 2nd night here by 1pm. After we did that we put on our bathing suits and got back on our bikes to head across the street ...

Someone leaked a draft of a big forthcoming international climate change report, and over the course of the week, the headlines trickled out. Each one made me more depressed than the last.
"Climate change: forecast for 2100 is floods and heat ... and it's man's fault," went The Telegraph.
"Experts surer of manmade warming, but local predictions remain elusive," wrote Reuters, which broke the story.
"Scientists '95 per cent certain' that climate change is man-made." That was The Independent, in another popular refrain. You're getting the point.
There are primarily two reasons why this is mind-numbingly depressing. First, the news itself is, obviously, an epic bummer. Floods, heat, near-certainty that humans are remorselessly cranking up the globe's thermostat, and on and on. Huge bummers.
But what's almost worse is the fact that the above headlines are considered newsworthy at all. Climate scientists have been in overwhelming agreement that human-produced carbon emissions are trapping an increasing amount of heat for a decade now. Study after study after study confirms the scientific consensus that this phenomenon is occurring. The first was completed nearly 10 years ago, in 2004.
So scientists have known for years now that climate change is happening. An unparalleled 97 percent of them agrre agree that it's humans fault. But somehow, we're not getting the message. It's 2013 and "Scientists Are Pretty Damn Certain We're Frying This Place" is still a headline. That is depressing.
The reason, of course, is that American conservatives, sympathetic to (and receivers of financial support from) fossil fuel companies have stridently pushed back against science, finding its findings inconvenient with their political ideologies. The army of hack scientists and oil company-backed energy "experts" they've rolled out have been going on talk shows and proclaiming the whole thing to be a liberal sham. This, too, is depressing.
And yet here we are. Nearly two-and-a-half decades have passed since NASA's Dr. James Hansen testified before Congress that global warming was real, backed by hard evidence and good science, and our headlines continue to communicate the most basic facts of the phenomenon's existence.
Obviously climate change is real. Obviously scientists agree it's happening—they have for years. Obviously there will be sea level rise, floods, and droughts fueled by higher temperatures. That we haven't moved past these basic points and have instead succumbed to what amounts to well-financed conservative trolling isn't just a shame. It's depressing as hell.

The Blue Ice (1948)
by Hammond Innes
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Boating enthusiasts, miners and fans of stories involving the aftermath of WW2 may find something to like in this 1950s thriller. The protagonist, Bill Gansert, is all set to sail his new yacht to the Mediterranean, but his boss at the mineral company sends him to Norway instead. Their old colleague George Farnell was hunting up mineral deposits and seemed to have found a profitable source of thorite -- but he was killed without revealing the exact location of the deposits. Gansert needs to find the thorite first before rival companies do and ensure that he and his crew don't meet the same fate as Farnell.
Overall this was a good thriller. It was like an Alistair MacLean but with a female character, Jill Somers, who could drive the boat and ski just as competently as the men, and they didn't make that much of a deal about it. For a 1950s thriller this seems remarkably progressive (bar the occasional asides about women not being able to understand the thrall that these mineral deposits could hold over a man). Also, there were no gratuitous sex scenes, much to my relief. In terms of setting, the atmosphere of Norway was brought to life effectively, especially in the use of Norwegian dialogue when the whaling ships were communicating with each other. It was presented in a way that enabled the reader to pick up on what they were saying even if the reader did not know Norwegian. I love when books set in other countries use the prevailing language!
I did find the twists and turns a bit wearisome to follow by the end, but there are worse thrillers out there. I am looking forward to reading more of Innes's work.
The Blue Ice - Hammond Innes ****
Having just come back from Norway and a tour of the Glaciers I loved this adventure story from Hammond Innes.
The main character and narrator of the book is Bill Gansert. We find him at the beginning about to set sail for warmer climates aboard his own personal boat. He is convinced to alter his destination by his former employers and try and find out the location of where a rare mineral came from.
He soon is on the tail of the deceased mineralogist George Farnell. Accompanied by several characters, each with their own reasons for joining the group, he sets off for Fjords and Glaciers of Norway.
A well written mystery adventure with more than enough plot twists to keep the reader hanging on every word. If you are a fan of Alistair Maclean then you will love this. The only reason I knocked the rating down to a 4 is the love interest dragged slightly and got I the way of the main plot.
Edit | More
Another classic Innes thriller from the 1940s that hasn't really stood the test of time. The implausible and overcomplicated plot about rival mining companies and a sample of ore turned up by an eccentric prospector takes far too long to get going. Many of the characters are Norwegian whalers who have been imported wholesale from The white South. The ski-chase across the Norwegian mountains in the last part of the book is exciting, but it ends up in a ridiculous Hollywood stunt that might work on screen, but is just plain silly on the printed page.

The current trustees of the SET are Dale Hillary (chartered accountant), Zubair Hoosen (accountant), David Ndou (businessman), and Jenny Phillips (attorney).
Dale Hillary
Dale Hillary has been involved with Star Schools for more than 15 years and is one of the founders of the Supplementary Education Trust. He is devoted to the development of opportunities for poor and needy students and believes that the SET not only gives them a chance in life, but provides a vehicle whereby corporates and individuals can sponsor the senior grades of education to equip learners for further study at tertiary institutions.
" Star Schools' " innovative approach to e-learning gives learners more opportunities today than merely depending on school books," says Dale.
"So many vacancies today are filled by people who lack the appropriate skills and experience. By becoming involved in the SET, corporates and individuals are enabled to grow the quantum of educated and skilled candidates so necessary to meet the job vacancies that abound in South Africa."
A CA (SA) with an ACMA qualification in cost and management accounting, Dale holds the Middlesex University post-graduate certificate in coaching. He has fulfilled positions as financial director and general manager for British, Swiss and South African conglomerates, affording him broad international experience and extensive involvement with senior leaders in various roles. In 2012 he was awarded the Expedition Leadership Excellence Award by Sirdar.
Although semi-retired, Dale currently works independently as a coach and strategy consultant, specialising in Real Leadership.
Zubair Hoosen
Zubair is an accountant, tax practitioner and tax specialist. He provides audit, accounting, taxation, estate planning and other related services to clients involved in a wide range of activities, including, manufacturing, retail, construction, services, import/export, property investments and, investment holdings, through private companies and trusts.
Zubair obtained a BCompt degree in 2000. He completed his articles as a trainee accountant in 2003 at a large auditing firm in Rivonia and further enhanced his studies with the completion of a BCompt (Honours) degree through UNISA in 2004. He was admitted as a partner in his current Accounting firm in 2006. He was accredited as a Professional Tax Specialist (SA) in 2013 by the South African Institute of Professional Accountants one of eighty at that time in South Africa.
Zubair believes that technology is an invaluable tool for learners but that the potential for really successful education of the South African youth lies with its educators. His dream is to see learners with potential reach tops honours in the world and sees Supplementary Educational Trust as a perfect contributor to this goal. His motto is "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave".
David Ndou
David has occupied managerial positions at several leading corporations, including Standard Bank, Global Technologies, Temenos, TransUnion ITC and the National Empowerment Rating Agency (NERA). He is currently an executive at the Ardent group of companies, which comprises various subsidiaries: broad-based black economic empowerment verification and support services provider Ardent Business Partners, IT services provider Ardent Technologies, consulting and training development company Ardent Business Solutions, and Ardent Logistics, a freight and forwarding logistics company.
An advocate of confidence building and leadership skills development, David believes that corporate South Africa's investment in the skills development of the future leaders of this country is imperative to its continued economic development and wellbeing, and the only way to enhance its competence levels and international competitiveness.
"I would like to see all South Africans being afforded the opportunity to study in a society and environment free of challenges such as fees, hunger, transport, clothing and access to educational resources, including libraries and science laboratories," he says.
"A society that is educated and actively participating in the economic activities of the country leads to reduced levels of criminal activities, lower unemployment rates, high levels of quality of life and a respectable society.
"All these promote improved productivity levels which benefit corporate South Africa. These are just some of the reasons why corporate South Africa must invest in the youths of today through skills development programmes such as those offered by the Supplementary Education Trust."
Jenny Phillips
As an attorney, conveyancer and tax practitioner, Jenny has extensive experience in advising charitable organisation on issues affecting their status as public benefit organisations and/or non-profit organisations.
Previously a member of the Board of Trustees of the Rewrite School, Jenny has been a trustee of the Supplementary Education Trust since its inception. She has a keen interest in education and all the factors impacting the effective provision thereof, and renders services to a number of schools and educational trusts.

I have high hopes for Silverlight, but I just can't ignore the amazing stuff that is happening with Flash! Adobe just released the Beta 1 of Flash 10 which supports hardware accelerated 3D, shader effects and an advanced drawing api. Basically, all the stuff that is in the recent WPF SP1 Beta. Except Adobe's implementation is cross browser, cross platform, of course. You can see some demos and learn more here. Does Silverlight have any tricks up its sleeve? I hope so, for its sake.
I agree with regard to Adobe's tooling, but FlashDevelop is pretty good. And although I haven't had the chance to use ActionScript 3.0 yet, I understand that it is significantly improved from 2.0, which is exactly as you describe. It's going to be interesting to see what happens in the next couple years.

When Good Therapy Turns Bad
We all know good therapy when we experience it, that warm fuzzy feeling where we are heard, understood, validated and start healing from the inside. But what about bad therapy, what does that feel like? And what if bad therapy turns ugly and ends in termination? Here are five reasons why good therapy turns bad and ends in termination. 1. Countertransference – when a client triggers the therapist's issues. It has been a long established rule of good therapists never to take on a client who will trigger personal issues. The therapist who has been raped may not be able to cope with the raped client. The therapist with children who finds out her client is a paedophile or the client who triggers off mother-issues with the therapist who has not resolved her own childhood. These well-meaning people can sometimes unwittingly do more damage than good if they have not received their own therapy or supervision.
The Found Child
There is a child that is easy to love. I want to embrace her and tell her that she is "well behaved" and a pleasure to be with. She is a compassionate child, with oodles of empathy, loves other people, is non-judgemental, care-free, innocent and everybody loves her. She is a child that knows herself, has emotional intelligence, knows what to say and the right way to say it. She made all the right decisions, at the right time, with the right people and for all the right reasons. What a pleasant, likable child, people all say. This is the child who, at age 12, upon viewing a documentary about starving people in Africa, set about collecting goods and chattels and crocheting rugs and selling them at school recess and sent ten dollars off to World Vision. This is the child who rescued stray cats and brought them home to be loved and cared for. Who rescued native birds from her stray cats, cried when they passed away, and buried them in her garden. This is the easy to love child who volunteered her Sundays to work at an animal shelter. This is the child who cared enough for a stranger, twice her age, to talk him out of suicide.
The Lost Child
There's this little girl I want to kick in the shins. I hate her. She's a whinging, snivelling, whining, horrible little girl who is dumb, stupid and cowardly. She was selfish, arrogant, outspoken, over-emotional, over-sensitive, rude and difficult. She made all the wrong decisions, at the wrong time, with all the wrong people and for all the wrong reasons. She didn't know how to be nice, she was always jealous and plotting, saying nasty things, thinking nasty thoughts and trying too hard to ingratiate herself with the very same people she was offensive to. She did things that would bring shame on herself and her family.
Five Things I Have Learned From My Therapist
There are some things I need to be taught, that I cannot learn for myself. If I had my way, I would mire myself in binge-eating, TV marathons, smoking, drinking and drug-taking all enveloped in a toxic bubble of anxiety and depression. It's an easy, seductive path I get lured down occasionally. But with help and inspiration from others, especially my therapist, I can pull myself out of that hole and into life. Here are five things I have learned from my therapist that I could not teach myself.
More Sex With Your Therapist
Is there ever a good time to have sex with your therapist? According to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in Australia who noted that ''in some circumstances, it may be appropriate for a psychologist to have a personal and sexual relationship with an ex-client,'' but that it should not start until at least two years after therapy ends. However, in the case of one particular transgressing psychologist, it wasn't two years and the client wasn't a fully consenting adult, he was a brain-damaged sex killer on parole. Apparently this makes no difference.
On Being a Therapist
I've often wondered what being a therapist and giving therapy feels like? What does it feel like to be on the other side of the couch, the so-called mentally healthy side, slowly building up that all-important trust, respect and safety, dispensing wisdom, experiencing and sharing flashes of insight, feeling the poignant pangs of empathy and for some, being able to conjure up that third person, the second client in the room – the inner child, the little girl/boy who so desperately needs a voice to be heard after being silenced many decades before?
