A Blinterview With Dr. Knabb
I will start with the formal recognition that some of you clicked on this post with the sole hope of finding out what a “blinterview” is. (To satisfy your curiosity, it is a word I just made up, my attempt at combining “blog” and “interview”–beating out my runner up option of “Interlog” which just sounded too je ne sais quoi.)
Now that that’s out of the way, the reason you should keep reading: we took notice that our very own Dr. Knabb (Director of the Doctor of Psychology Program) recently graced the top of the Psychology Today website as “Today’s Essential Read”.
His interview with Jamie D. Aten, Ph.D., focused on self-compassion and resiliency in the midst of pain and tragedy. Rather than getting the second-hand story here, read the original interview here. Pop on back when you’re finished and let us know what you think. How are you going to practice self-compassion today?

Dr. Smith,
I loved your use of humor to attract people to read your blog post. I have recently met Dr. Knabb, as I am starting the MFT graduate program with LPCC in summer of this year, and he will be one of my first professors in the program. This article leads me to be more excited starting this program. To practice self-compassion, I will realize that everyone struggles, and recite the “Jesus prayer”.
Thank you!
Hi Barbara, thanks for leaving a note! Dr. Knabb does excellent work; I am so glad you took some time to read his interview! Praying for a successful start to your MFT/LPCC Journey!
Guilty…loved the Blinterview term. Do you mind if I steal that before you get a chance to copyright it?!
Dr. Pate: Go for it. Just remember me when you are famous!
