香港兩間大學辦嘅合資格臨床心理研究生課程競爭激烈，我曾參與其中一所大學第一輪面試，睇見面試者都戰意高昂，準備充足，有啲 CV 水蛇春咁長，有啲心理學詞彙琅琅上口，有啲屢敗屢戰，全力以赴，讓我哋覺得佢已經準備就緒。 其實我覺得最重要同最基本嘅，係同理心溝通能力； 有最亮麗嘅...

照鏡，仔細觀察自己，吐出真我。 望住鏡中嘅自己，好似。。。慢慢。。。事實上。。。同自己保持一點距離。 認清自己嘅積習，好似睇戲劇情咁，一環扣一環，事情同自己點樣互動發展落去。係觀眾，定係導演，一念之差。 透視鏡中人所想，點諗自己，點諗人，點諗事，點諗世界，點諗以往，點諗將來...

好多人覺得心理治療就係聽人傾訴。入行到而家，經常會有人問：『你接收咗咁多負能量，點平衡自己？』亦有人覺得唔駛見心理治療，因為只係揾人傾訴吓。 首先，心理治療唔係猛咁叫人傾訴。 心理學雖然以前有一個名詞叫 catharsis，之後又有...

大概，每個人每日至少照一次鏡；但總會聽過有人對伴侣講：『啲鼻毛咁長都唔剪？你今朝照鏡睇唔到㗎咩？』可能你都係其中之一。 望住自己，我哋通常只睇到我哋想睇到嘅嘢，或者在意嘅地方。最極端嘅，譬如患有抑鬱症嘅人，只會見到自己差劣失敗；...

2022伊始，學吓啲頒獎禮咁回顧一吓去年下半年喺大學教咗成個學期嘅 Biological Psychology 嘅心路歷程。 做咗¼ 個世紀嘅臨床心理學家，一向都好中意教學生，教學雙長。以前喺醫院點忙都抽啲時間督導實習嘅臨床心理學家，間中去大學講一兩堂書；私人執業後，反而有...

睇完靈魂奇遇記，一方面覺得要拍一套讓大眾明白講生活或生命意義嘅戲絕對唔容易； 但另一方面，睇完部戲之後冇乜感覺，借用友人嘅評語：『有點 cliche』，或太說教太樣板。反觀早前睇嘅消失的情人節好感動好令人反思，又借用另一友人嘅評語：...

前排我其中一個龜蜜喺通訊群組些牙咗一篇某行家嘅專欄大作，話引起佢公司其他行家火熱地討論，叫我哋都睇睇，點知竟引爆咗我同呢位龜蜜『好耐（好少）有咁樣交流』嘅交流，於是我決定喺呢度記低我嘅想法，等我老到冇曬記性時都可以睇番。...
