This is a memoir about my becoming. It was nothing short of miraculous to be able to achieve my dreams in Wilmington, North Carolina. As a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the 1980s, I realized I was in the wrong field when I was studying engineering. I was seeing a psychologist for counseling and I discovered who I really was and what I should do with my life. This was a radical change in direction for me and so a tremendous amount of work was going to be required to make this work. It would end up feeling like a dream come true. I have never been as good at anything other than this and never felt more competent and confident than when I was working as a clinical social worker (a psychotherapist). Things have seemed hopeless for a while there. It was rather tragic to see how easy it was to lose everything. As of the writing of this book, I am trying to get back into the field after being away for a long time. I wish I could see this current situation as nothing more complicated than what things were like in the past. Realistically though, I know that things are more complicated. I didn't have to deal with having a clinical license and then surrendering it. I didn't have to deal with false criminal accusations. Maybe I can find meaning in my current situation and the past difficulties I have faced. I am getting ahead of myself. I want to show you what it was like and what I accomplished.
