A traumatic young adulthood can change one's view on occurrences that many others might not take into consideration. Being a survivor of rape and domestic abuse, I can't help but pity individuals who frequently live such miserable lives that they disrupt the lives of others but I discovered light amongst my sorrow. Although there is no justified explanation, I constantly think those who can cause such suffering in another person's life are generally emotionally abandoned as children. Children's actions or emotional outbursts are frequently disregarded and rationalized with statements like "it's only a phase" or "what could you be experiencing at your age".While the intensity of emotional and mental issues is something I see every day, even with my own brother. Sometimes all it takes is to be heard, and as a child myself wanting to cater to other children the importance of allowing your child to see a professional when showing signs of distraught is all it ever takes to determine the future of one's child. Children are frequently neglected by their own feelings. From the standpoint of someone who has neglected their own emotions, I found it difficult to embrace my feelings and thoughts when I realized I needed to see a therapist since I was so conditioned to repress my own suffering. Although one can argue that they are dependent, this just causes worse problems in the long run. I was misguided about my future and my route in terms of my career for a very long time. Although I've always wanted to work in medicine, I honestly couldn't find the right career within the medical field that suited me or I was genuinely passionate about. That is until I made the decision to enroll in a psychology course, which opened my eyes to a new, beloved career path. The course not only fascinated me but also taught me more about myself than I ever could have anticipated. The career path of a pediatric psychiatrist opened up the possibility of fusing my newly discovered curiosity with my earlier love of and dedication to the medical area. As I learned more about the subject, my interest grew because I felt connected to this particular career path. It not only helped me find my own beloved route, but it also gave me closure on my own past tragedy. Knowing that I could have prevented a grieving child from engaging in unjust behavior in the future gives me the closure I could never have.
