An Introduction

Hello to the Steemit community!

I am new to the community and still getting a lay of the land, as technology and social media have never been my strongest suits. I came to this community for that reason. I feel that a lot of what I want to share could negatively impact my career pursuits - this is why I am choosing to post here anonymously. I am a former legal professional turned mental health professional, and the things I have learned through a career in law and mental health over the past 8 years have shocked me, changed me, and inspired me to find new ways of approaching the field.

I want to share the things I have learned with the steemit community. I will write about the unethical practices I have seen in mental health, my beliefs about mental health that aren't accepted by mainstream organizations, politics and mental health, cultural impact on mental health, life philosophies, and the Enneagram (a tool for understanding personality structure).

My main goal here is to have my voice heard, and to contribute meaningfully to discussions about psychology and mental health. I have often been fearful of speaking out and putting my ideas to use, I hope to put those fears to rest and share myself with this community.

Thanks for reading, I hope to connect with you all soon!
