I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 1979, and before that, I was an LMFT from 1972, so I have been in the profession for about 50 years. I believe our minds (memories, experiences, and other sense data) determine what our eyes see, and what our ears hear, and form judgements which result in emotions and behaviors.
