| Introduction | My name is Peter Forster and I worked as a lecturer, researcher and practitioner of psychology for over 40 years at universities in the United Kingdom, Canada, Fiji, Hawai'i, Vanuatu, The Netherlands and Australia. In the early years my emphasis was on attention, perception and the differences between conscious and unconscious processes. In more recent years I changed to counselling, psychotherapy, clinical psychology, coaching and meditation. I’ve been a member of professional bodies in several countries but now I am just an Associate Fellow and Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society. As I mention in one of these blog posts, I have had a meditation practice of one sort or another for over 40 years, intermittently at first but consistently in recent years. Thank you for reading and I hope you find something useful in this blog. |
