About me

Introduction	Off-the-record musings from a mental health clinician and former journalist who has been interviewing and writing about extraordinary people, both celebrated and unsung, for 27 years. I have made a concerted effort to conceal the identities of those mentioned in this blog. After all, it was my choice to include them and not necessarily theirs. If you happen to know who they are or think you might know, please refrain from mentioning their names or other identifying information in your comments out of respect for their privacy. I have also loosely concealed my own identity in honor of those I work with clinically, because there are some things you just would rather not know about your therapist. Thus, please refer to me as Desertfish in your responses. Thank you in advance for your kind and thoughtful cooperation.
