Hello,

I have been on Steemit for about a month now, learning (slowly) how to write posts and become confused at how posts can attract such different results.

Background

My background is in Buddhism, NLP, Clinical Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, Tai Chi Chuan, The Three Principles Approach of Sydney Banks, and I am currently studying for a masters degree in Psychology.

Journey

When I started out in my psychological studies I wanted to help people by being a practitioner, and so I transitioned out of school teaching into becoming a hypnotherapist.

And it is very good and satisfying to be a hypnotherapist and in later years, a coach. People really can change their lives!

Along the way I discovered that I actually enjoyed the research and writing more than working with people. 

A nomad

It would be nice to be able to find a 'one size fits all' solution to all the world's woes. Many people do and so identify themselves with a particular stance or approach. 

I have never found that works for me. I may find some of the ideas valuable but I don't want to learn the 'in language' and join the church.

How do I want to help?

So, it comes down to , 'how do I want to help?' and for me it is through writing.

Writing about psychology, spirituality, the evidence based and the speculative.

If it resonates with me and I think it can help people become more resilient and experience greater wellbeing, well that's what I am writing about and pointing to
