Dr. Phil Freud

Lately I have had a lot of motivation to blog. Its been a while since it has been so top of mind. I guess its good for you. My blog hasn't been this active in years.

I fancy myself a amateur psychologist. I love to find out what is going on in peoples heads. "What are you thinking" is a phrase that I commonly say. I am slightly obsessed with seeing things from others perspective. I feel like it will give me a better perspective on who I am.

The psychologist side of me also psychoanalyzes people. If you have known me for more than 6 months, I have a psychological profile of you. I should be a member of the BAS on Criminal Minds. To me the connection between the way a person thinks, who they are, and their experiences. Maybe I simplify it too much, but I feel like those connections are so obvious. Don't get me wrong, I make them in myself. Anyone who knows me, knows I psychoanalyze myself more than anyone. But trying to figure out other people comes naturally to me.

I remember once telling my brother a part of his profile, which happened to be a part of my profile as well given that we grew up in the same household. He thought it was a great bit of information, and took it to heart. I never thought that he would take it to heart so deeply. I never really fully believed it before that either. But, good or bad, it was a self validation. So far I'm one for one, just like my coaching career. I wonder if I shared with others what I thought, if they would take it on as wholeheartedly as by brother did.

If I told you, would you be able to handle it?

P.S. I'm not going to tell you, so don't bother asking.
