    I enjoyed my Psychology subject in college. It gives explanation to things that we sometimes missed to understand. Understanding this subject makes one fully aware and capable of dealing different types of behavior. I have learned many things in this interesting subject and it helped me in many instances. Keep posting interesting lens :)

      I haven't studied psychology so can't enter into much discussion from that point of view. I went to the level of Trainer in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). Met some interesting people when I was doing my training who were also psychologists and I think they found that combining the two was enlightening and worthwhile... if a little challenging at times!

      Really glad to hear from a practicing psychologist, it's a pleasure receiving your insightful and experienced comment on this lens of mine. Really appreciate the angel blessings as well.

      As a practicing psychologist I positively state that this is a rewarding though not so easy to practice profession. However at the time I was a student psychology was not allowed to be studied in the distance form since it is about people skills which are trained best in person. The distance form is suitable for people who are already familiar with the field and have gained some experience, and want to enlarge their knowledge and theoretic preparation. I wouldn't rely totally on a distance education psychology course if I were a beginner. But once you have begun practicing there are numerous possibilities to get additional training in the field you prefer to work in, like educational, clinical, industrial, etc. psychology. Distance courses are a blessing to working individuals- and here's also an Angel blessing for this lens.
