Validation/informal friend/support
25
I've had this idea for an informal therapy session for a while. Disclaimer is, I don't have any credentials, I'm not a social worker, I'm not a substance abuse counselor. But I love helping people. And I've been on the other end of that field for a long time. (As a patient/client) I like giving advice, I like sharing my experiences. Those with mental health or substance abuse issues, I know what it's like and i want to help.
Would like to reiterate, I am not a crisis hotline, if I deem that you're a danger to yourself or others, I will direct you to one.
Training & Qualifications
I have a lot of experience in the mental health field. More specifically, I have BPD, or borderline personality disorder. It's also known as emotional intensity or irregularity disorder. I've gotten treatment for it, and while I'm not entirely "cured" I'd be really happy to share with people about the kind of progress I've made, and the kind of progress you could potentially make if you have emotional regulation issues are ready and willing to address them.
Availability & Preferences
Flexible.
