I was a little worried about those boundaries when I started grad school, but I've been pleasantly surprised at how easy things have been. I have no desire or motivation to "shrink" when I'm off the clock.

When psych was just a hobby of mine, I used to analyze my friends and family. Over the past few years, though, the notion just never occurs to me. It's as if that part of my brain doesn't "light up" in my personal life.

I don't know why things happened that way, but thank goodness they did!
