The Recovering Psychologist - from Master to Magic
Growing up, all I wanted to do was help people. I was a great listener, analyzer, and problem solver. Even when I was a young child people came to me for advice and valued my opinion. All my life it has been natural for me to have others open up to me and trust me almost instantly. Unsurprisingly, my biggest dream was to become a psychologist.
Fast forward to the present. I have been able to reach my goal of becoming a psychologist, with a glorious "Master of Science" title to match. At 36 I already have 12+ years of working in the field under the belt. Psychology has brought me a lot when it comes to my professional foundation. And although I LOVE working in this field, being a psychologist is only part of the story I want to tell you.
You see, I come from a long line of witches as I lovingly call them. Also known as ladies who were spiritually gifted. I inherited this legacy from both parents and even have 25% Gypsy blood running through my veins. And I love that! From a young age I've been fascinated by fairytales and especially witchcraft and sorcery. I enjoyed dressing up as a (good) witch and even had my own book of spells. When I grew older I secretly wished I could somehow incorporate magic into my work and life. So I did!
Imagine the following if you will... 18 years of progressing and debilitating lower back pain from a falling accident trauma. Suffering through everything: sitting, lying down, exercising... Visiting therapists twice a year at first to almost weekly years later. And then...one beautiful afternoon...POOF! GONE! Completely. Never to return again.
