My background was in the creative arts, and I use that often in my relationships with clients. My concentration while studying was in neural-plasticity (which is basically the science on how the brain can change old thinking patterns with practice.) I think the combination of creativity and science makes for good therapy, while warmth and humor makes for a great relationship.
