About Me

Hi my name is Colby Drye and I’ve started this blog as an encouragement to those looking for understanding of some miss-conceptions in mental thinking or just understanding of what’s going on in their mind. I hold a graduate degree in research biology, and have studied Psychology, with a cross emphasis on bio-psychology. My interest stems from inter-personal communication between the sexes as well as interpretation and expression of emotions. My preferred approach is experiential psychodynamic psychotherapy because this type of therapy draws on all types of techniques and does not limit the techniques to a rigid theory.

I was born and raised in a small country town in southern California. An area of California that has the same mentality as Texas, work hard, get tough, don’t complain, and suck it up. I certainly maintained this aspect of life growing up, however as I progressed through my many experiences I realized that being mentally sound and understanding the thoughts that went through my head was important to achieving goals and coping with things that could not be suppressed.

I have had many experiences in life that have allowed me to grasp hold of many concepts that I studied. I am the second oldest of seven boys, I was a quarterback for eleven years including two years with the San Diego Stallions minor league pro team, amateur bull rider, mixed martial arts competitor, extreme sports participator, crew member during amateur regattas (sailboat races), flew both fixed wing and rotor wing aircraft, I attended six different colleges, one of those was overseas in Europe, I have traveled to over twenty-six different countries, I have worked in agriculture, hospitality, retail, personal relations, and have coached adolescence in the majority of my sports, as well as leadership skills.

All of these experiences have allowed me to put techniques that I have learned as well as theories that I have developed into experimental practice. I’m excited about exploring these concepts and ideas on this blog. It will be fun to interact and hear from you as we all live a simply mental life.
