Well he told a very few people can come away from what I have gone through, still having a functional life mostly and then to go to where they become highly educated and successful after healing. He said I am in a very small minority of those who do very well in school, but when you add what I have had to endure, it makes it even more amazing. I didn't grow up with education being valued, heck I wasn't even valued.
He said a majority of those who have experienced like I have, would either be in prison, addicted to drugs or be in a mental institution.
He said studies are being done on why some can survive and thrive and heal, and why others stay a victim or live life in very unhealthy ways.He told me I bring so much more experience from my life for being a T, so much more than him in the beginning, that he feels my personality plus who I am will help me become an effective T.
Lots of stuff like child abuse, marriage for 14 years, not all happy, being a mother and a stepmother,grandma, problem MIL, living with a spouse with OCPD, dealing with a lot of deaths, so much crap or experience he calls it will be useful in the profession, so much more than a typical graduate student.
