Identity Crisis

Dr. Hershey, I enjoyed the article.

I remember studying and doing research about a therapist named Karen Hornei in Germany. She came from a very troubled childhood and despite the odds against her she went on to help many people. Such accounts as this are inspirational to me. If I may ask, at what point in your life did you decide to help people in this way and why?,,,dave

Dave,
Thank you so much. I made a small reference to my own own personal struggle/crisis in my Editor Bio.
Here is the main gist:

As a young child, I remember having an inquisitive mind about human nature and the emotional experience of other people. When I was 12 years old, however, my focus turned toward my own personal pain. My parents went through a very conflictual divorce. My mom felt my brother and I needed to be in therapy in order to help us understand and process our feelings of confusion and sadness.

Over the next several years, while meeting once a week with a therapist, I came to realize that I wanted to help and support people the way this lady was helping and supporting me. The experience of the therapy process and this caring woman made a significant impact on me, and I knew then I wanted to make the same impact on others.

Thank you for your reply. My best to you !!! dave
