Welcome

Welcome to the realm of Psychologist, Author, Blogger, Artist & Teacher ~ Karen Wrighton aka SleeplessPsyche.

If you have you ever wondered "why?" or asked yourself what on earth possessed someone to behave that way? Maybe you have wondered if anyone out there really does have psychic powers. If so then you probably already have worked out that the study of the mind and behaviour of humans is truly a fascinating occupation. It is, but you may also come to the sad realisation as do all Psychologists, that no matter how long we study the mind we will never fully be able to understand it. It's complexity is beyond even the most intelligent and learned amongst us.

That said partly because of this it is and will always remain one of the most exciting and enthralling areas of science to be involved in. An area where there are still many mysteries to be unveiled and many questions to be answered.

The blog is generally for the benefit of FAN Psychology students (my classes) but as we journey into the complexities of the human mind. You are more than welcome to join us...
