I am 27 years old.
I am a survivor, a writer and a mental health advocate in my home town of Frederick MD. I am becoming more involved in the municipal and county-level politics. Occasionally I speak at the meetings and I applied to join the mental health advisory board for the Frederick County.
I read about history of trauma psychology, religion, social theory, history, mysticism and psychoanalysis. I listen to the lectures of trauma psychologists on youtube. I am writing a psychoanalytical theory about individual totemism.(several theories about group totemism already exist)
My dream is to study Jungian and Freudian psychoanalysis and to become a clinical psychologist, however I don't yet see how I can acquire the funds to do that. Perhaps I need to wait for when there are going to be more scholarships for people with Adverse Childhood Experiences.
