HNS I think you would be a great Peer Support Specialist. I have been working as one for almost 2 years now (before I was an Optician) since finding a good level of recovery from MDD and alcohol addiction. It is an incredibly rewarding job and certainly helps you in your own recovery because of the mutual nature of the role.
I waited 2+ years to get in to this latest therapy so it is the next step on my journey. I was not aware before just how much anxiety I was masking daily and it is actually great to finally begin to understand what is driving me and my behaviours with this new diagnosis of complex PTSD. (Also terrifying knowing I have to face my past)
Go for your dreams HNS
