SSU Graduation Evening

Posted by Sandi Peters on May 28, 2010 at 8:26pm

Hi All,

Just wanted you to know that 6 students graduated from the Depth Program last nite at SSU. The event was held in the new music building which was the perfect venu. It is gorgorous with an outdoor area that includes a hugh firepit with charcoal and an indoor area with a large fireplace. It reminded me of being in a vineyard.

Each of the students did a fantastic job of presenting their work and their process to arrive at last nite. And they all used some kind of video/powerpoint to present t

Internship as Hazing/Indentured Servitude

Posted by Barbara Pannoni on May 22, 2010 at 1:20pm
I'm an MFT Intern in California--graduated Pacifica 2004, MA Counseling Psych. I love the work I do with clients and consider it an honor to share the journey with other human beings. But it has been a struggle for survival as a single parent--managing nearly 20 hours a week in an unpaid internship on top of 32+ weekly hours at my "day job". Typical work days are 12-14 hours for me with little time for myself, and the financial pressure has been intense. And I know there are many of us engaged i

and William James. Depth Psychology explores the hidden or deeper parts
of human experience by seeing things in depth rather than taking them
apart. Certainly, it involves deep inquiry into the symb
