Pathways merged on the day I applied to begin the Diploma of Professional Counselling - my innate sensitivity and melancholy; my need to work through personal issues in self-acceptance; emotional over-eating; moderate depression and anxiety in earlier years;
After what appeared to be countless millennia but in reality was the last thirty years of my life, the days merging into weeks, then morphing into months and transforming into years, it became a blur of sameness and lack of progress. I was evolving but it seemed to always appear that my life was on hold, I was in constant marking time, doing work for others without regard for myself and how I felt.
Throughout my childhood, I have experienced brokenness of many kinds. Having lived in a third world country for 12 years, this taught me survival, especially at an emotional level. Though not easy, I decided to use these unfortunate experiences for positive things to empower others.
