as some...

of you know; i am (in simplest terms) a philosophical practitioner, and for those that don't know...

a quick description of this is using philosophy to counsel people with philosophical issues. as prof. marinoff states 'therapy for the sane.' if you will. to use philosophy to work through issues that come up in life. there has become a void in therapy that psychology has a hard time filling. such things as questions of morals, ethics, belief systems. these are things that philosophers are trained in, and understand. we understand the structures of arguments. we understand these types of problems. hell, we understand the structures of problems. just look at the stuff we read. so we are able to deconstruct problems, and find solutions, ways of looking at problems, etc.

well, it has been in the back of my mind, for the past year now, to promote myself this way. to add this as an aspect of my life, meaning to 'put a sign out' as it were, and promote myself as such. website. business cards. the whole deal. i've just never have gotten around to it. time. strategy. promotion. sell your self type of thing, and a salesman i am not.

i've also been wondering what to call myself. i have settled with the term philosophical practitioner. i say this, because i am not able to call myself a philosophical therapist. legally i am unable to call it therapy. or even philosophical counseling. for these words are 'legally binded' by their respective 'certifications'.

so i hear the phrase life coach; which seems pretty popular on the west coast; so why not a philosophical life coach? but the term 'life coach' seems too hokey to me.

so i am hoping, some time, to get this started. maybe find some people to help me along with this.
