Welcome to MSF @missdymphna - I am so sorry to hear how you suffered through abuse. No one should have to endure that especially as a young child.

I agree with your therapist that the area you want to help people in is so needed in these troubled times we live in right now. You have suffered much but for that very reason you are immensely qualified to help other survivors of abuse.

Hope you get some comfort and make some friends here at MSF. I have helped a friend who has had psychoitc episodes so I have witnessed first hand how challenging that can be.

You might find posts here in Survivors of Abuse that resonate with you and it might be a good place to post also.
