I have decided to create more separation between my personal activities and my professional ones on the internet. This is mostly because the field of psychology is very conservative and the people involved tend to have a lot of misgivings about any personal facts about a therapist being lumped together with their professional presentation.

There is also a benefit to me in creating a separate web space for my professional presence, and that is that there are fewer compromises in the way I am able to represent myself both as a person and as a psychotherapist. In the past I have tried to keep any portrayal of my personal involvements toned down enough that someone looking for my CV would not be confused, while also toning down the presentation of my professional activities so that I don’t end up looking like I’m a shallow and boring person.

So from this point on I will be adding any updates about my professional development and activities within the field of psychology to my new, strictly professional web site over on the Chicago Psychology community web site. You can find me here: Chicago Psychotherapist David Godot.

That will allow me to post here more freely about my hobbies, fun activities, art, etc. I think this will afford me a much nicer balance. This way, anyone who wants to know about me as a psychological professional will have no trouble finding out everything they want to know all in one place, and then if they choose to look into my personal life it’s all right here for the taking. This way you can find out how boring I am with maximum efficiency! 

This will also give me more freedom to just have fun with my personal web site. I can talk about art, products I’m using, shows and cultural events I go to, my web projects, vacations, and anything else.
