Me: I just emailed my parents to tell them I don't like their favorite psychology theory. It's basically exactly like when you told your parents you're gay.
Matt: Wow! What made you decide it was the right time to come out to them?!
Me: I just need to be my real self!!
My mom: Sweetie, lots of people experiment with different theories in grad school. I think this is just a phase.
Me: (facepalm)
My dad: Em, here, please just read this essay I wrote on psychoanalysis!! It will really help you understand this better. I'm sure that what's really going on is that you're confused about what psychoanalysis really means.
Me: (facepalm)
My mom: You know, I think this is really about that you're so deeply psychodynamic that you can't even see it right now. Probably it scares you.
Me: (facepalm)
Matt: Just give them time. It's hard for parents when kids don't turn out how they expected.

great post. I am curious why you disagree with psychoanalysis....finding it very gospelish myself. Hope we meet face to face sometime to discuss - or shoot me an email and we can discuss that way. I have a book for you :-) The Kingdom Within by John Sanford.
i like how your mom used the word 'psychodynamic.' i want to start using that.
I LOVE YOU! This is really funny... also I wanted to let you know that Javan and I started a blog too :)
