Hello to the Steemit community!
I am new to the community and still getting a lay of the land, as technology and social media have never been my strongest suits. I came to this community for that reason. I feel that a lot of what I want to share could negatively impact my career pursuits - this is why I am choosing to post here anonymously. I am a former legal professional turned mental health professional, and the things I have learned through a career in law and mental health over the past 8 years have shocked me, changed me, and inspired me to find new ways of approaching the field.
I want to share the things I have learned with the steemit community. I will write about the unethical practices I have seen in mental health, my beliefs about mental health that aren't accepted by mainstream organizations, politics and mental health, cultural impact on mental health, life philosophies, and the Enneagram (a tool for understanding personality structure).
My main goal here is to have my voice heard, and to contribute meaningfully to discussions about psychology and mental health. I have often been fearful of speaking out and putting my ideas to use, I hope to put those fears to rest and share myself with this community.
Thanks for reading, I hope to connect with you all soon!
Very interesting indeed!
Welcome to an online troll-free zone 😀
Without going into uncomfortable detail in order to preserve your anonymity, what legal specialty are you in recovery from 😉 and what surprised you about the mental health field the most?
Glad you're here, welcome to the Steemit Brain Trust 🤝

Thank you much, I practiced in the mental health field, and I actually posted a story about why I got out of there last night if you wanna check it out. I appreciate the warm welcome! Oh and what surprised me the most in mental health was the lack of any actual focus on treatment in community mental health.

Thanks for the reply! I am already fascinated by how supportive the community is. I was worried about being anon basically because I didn't want anyone thinking I wasn't a real person, because I am. Very real. But because of the positions I have had and state licensing guidelines for what I do for a living, it is very necessary - I appreciate the support. I will heed your advice and check out the links as well.
