I'm 66yrs old and I am continuing to embrace my role as one who listens,validates and helps others become more self aware, so they can work towards their healing. I am on a quest towards my higher consciousness so I can live a more peaceful and empowered life. I have 4 adult grown kids and two granddaughters. My parents are passed,my oldest brother as well, and all my aunts and uncles except one. I have suffered from empty nest syndrome as I have been all alone away from my family for several years now. I have suffered from major depressive disorder,social anxiety and PTSD since my teenage years. I was given brutal forced treatment at 16 yrs old and I do not conform to the current Mental Health model. I live in Upstate NY. I was trained as a Peer Support Specialist in 2018 and I very much enjoy helping others. I had a TBI in 2014 and it has changed my life in many ways. I believe I am finally fulfilling my divine purpose. I struggle with isolation and extreme loneliness at times. I have come to realize the importance of self love,self compassion and the forgiveness of one's self and others. I'm living a more empowered life and I believe that everything we need is within us. I believe in the importance of self reflection,introspection,self awareness and doing inner child work. I also learned about attachment styles which has opened my eyes to why I am the way I am when it comes to my adult relationships. I don't want to just survive! My goal is to thrive! I want to help others believe that all things are possible if we believe and are willing to do the hard work and have a support system! I practice Mindfulness,Meditation and letting my inner child come out to play as often as possible.
