r /> Naropa was the best decision I have made in my life. Not only was I prepared for the life of a psychologist, I was ready to face my own demons. The premise of Naropa is that if one wants to be a mental health therapist, then you need to look at your own issues. The powerful messages of transference and counter-transference are an integral part of understanding the client/therapist dynamics. I have been in the mental heath field for 25 years..the sickest people I have worked with have been co-workers.
