I used to be an intelligent woman!

Today I was offered the opportunity to do something I have only dreamed about since becoming an Expressive Therapist 9 years ago.

I received a call this morning from an expressive therapist who specializes in psychodrama, graduated from Lesley (way before me), and led a workshop I participated in last year. He informed me that the Michlala (College for women) in Jerusalem was beginning a training program in Expressive Arts Therapy and he wanted to know if I would be interested in teaching a class.

Not just any class. The Core Group class - which is the foundation of any expressive arts program. It's practically like a groups dynamics course, but so much more involved therapeutically.

After he asked, he added, "And by the way, how is your hebrew?"


AAAHHHHHH! I laughed. I told him he had just handed me a perfect silver platter and I had to throw it right back at him. My hebrew is not strong enough to work with adults, I explained to him, and it would be unethical for me to try.

I used to be an intelligent person, I told him. I got here and suddenly I sound like an idiot when I'm trying to express myself to people.

It's horrible -

But so very flattering and exciting that he even considered me!

So proud of myself :)
