- Greetings,
I am a retired 66 year old Oklahoma Granny who adores my husband, children, g-children and our pets. We are all very close and have great fun. We have a chinchilla, tiny parrot (pyrrahua), two dogs and one new kitty cat..
Prior work history before retirement: Medical Intake for Psychiatric treatment, Employee Assistance Counselor, Family counselor, Accountant, Publisher, Certified Graphoanalyst (Handwriting Analyst) and Hypnotherapist.
I have a deep concern for the welfare of our adolescents and their increasing numbers for suicide and violent outbreaks. My dissertation topic will be on the topic of GraphoPsychology by researching the value of Graphoanalysis used as a tool to Educators and Psychologists to identify potentially suicidal and violent adolescents. I believe these traits can easily be detected through handwriting samples and a potential crisis can be diffused before a fatal event. My research will be using quantitative methods to prove or disprove this theory.
I look forward to our discussions and the fun we will have learning together. My philosophy is to laugh as much as possible to chase away our anxiety and stress. I do hope you will laugh with me as I playfully respond to our discussions from time to time.
