So, I have now taken delivery of two distance learning diploma courses courtesy of OCN (Open College Network) which will occupy my brain for the next year. And now I feel much more focused and positive. Strange, I know; I am an anorak - it's official! But a contented one.
Targets to meet
Before the decision to look at moving to France, I had decided to defer my MA with Chester till next year. This was partly because it's a big financial undertaking and also because I wanted to concentrate on getting my 450 client hours in order to apply for accreditation with BACP (which I would nearly have done by now if all my clients kept their appointments, but that's another story!) In addition, there was a CBT certificate I wanted to do plus a couple of short courses - Mental Health and an introduction to Existential Counselling. For various reasons, not within my control, I am now able to do none of these and so I have been feeling a bit at a loose end, study-wise. Four years of courses and you begin to get withdrawal symptoms when that comes to an end. There is also the thought that undertaking a twelve month commitment may not be the best idea if a miracle happens and we do manage to sell the house and move on during that time.

I know how you feel. I did courses for many years one after another. I became a coursaholic. Good luck with them.
Thanks, Rosie. They do tend to be a bit addictive!
Jenny, I appear to be having the opposite of you. Since finishing I have LOVED not having courses to attend ! However, I now fear my 'temporary' departure may become longer than anticipated as I love the freedom too much !!!! Perhaps one day I, too, will do another course - but I'm gonna make it as radically different to counselling as I can get......anyone for Chinese hip-hop synchronised swimming ??? ;-)

Nag, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag - yes Mum ! ;-) CraigyBaby !
