The Reason I Became A Helping Professional

As a child I was always curious about  how others felt. A childhood friend reminded me in later years that when we were in early elementary school and she told me she was adopted, she said I was the only one who ever asked how she felt about being adopted.

As an adolescent my mother had a severe anxiety disorder. I felt then I 'should' have been able to help her but didn't know how. This was probably the strongest motivator to learning how I could help others and to becoming a mental health professional.
