Glenn Close as Albert Nobbs: Truth from the Inside Out
I got to meet Glenn Close last night, what a fabulous person. Check out my psychology today blog to read more about Glenn Close and the screening of Albert Nobbs.
My Trip to Dr. Oz
In early December the Dr. Oz show emailed me, asking if I could help them find people who would be willing to be filmed during an ECT session, and then interviewed later. Dr. Oz wanted to do a show on ECT, presenting it as a medical procedure. I helped the staff of the show, giving them reference materials, connecting them with people who I thought could help. As an aside, I said "If you want me to come to NY to be on the show, I could do that too."

Interview with American School of London Graduate Charlie Marsh
Charlie Marsh lived a few doors down from me in London, about a quarter mile from the famous Abbey Road Crossing. I vaguely new about his battle with depression then through his mom, but had the pleasure of interviewing Charlie his Freshman Year at Princeton. Charlie made a bold speech at his American School of London graduation ceremony about his struggle. I did a follow up interview with him after seeing the video called Believing it Gets Better

Catch up on Events
i realize I have been negligent in keeping my blogs on my website up to date. Over the past month I've written three blogs which have received far more hits than previous blogs. If you go to this link: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/struck-living, you can see all the blogs I've posted on Psychology Today. The two blogs i wrote, one on innovation and one on the challege freshman in college seem to face with regard to mental health have resonated with many.
