#1

When I was an infant, my father was away at war, and my mother was overwhelmed by being a single parent. She would have breakdowns, during which she would sleep the morning away and leave me and my sister to play by ourselves.

#2

When I was 13, my mother began to tell me about how abusive and sadistic my father was towards her. I felt responsible for her and felt like I had to save her. The more she told me about her problems with my father, the more I felt like a better person.

#3

I had developed a faith in God, but I was still unable to solve my depression. I was eventually able to turn to my mother-in-law for help, and she helped me turn to God. I began to believe that I could be in a relationship with God, and that God loved me and would back me up.

#4

I was a nurse working at a drug and rehabilitation facility in Wickenburg, Arizona. I began listening to the lectures on addiction, and I realized that I was an alcoholic. I began treating alcoholics, and I was asked to help develop ways of treating chemical dependencies and other psychological problems.

#5

The health-care professionals I worked with were caught up in the same issues as their patients, which made me realize that I didn’t want to be a healer because healers themselves were causing pain through their own dysfunction and were blinded to it by their sense of superiority.

#6

I began to help patients with their relationships with me, as well as with other people in their lives. I would help them understand the skews of the psyche that rob them of their inner worth, and then I would work on healing those skews.
