I'm an American from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (and a few other places like Alaska and Washington DC) living in Ireland with my husband. I like exploring the history and the places of natural beauty that surround us here. Finished up MSc Psy with the Open University (Experience of trauma and growth with connection to identity in neurodivergent adults). Now studying Integrative Psychotherapeutic Studies at IICP College in Dublin. I have lived a bunch of lives in my 65 years. Ask me and I'll tell you more. Well met.


@europe hi! good to see you 👋

@europe Interested in trauma and resilience, sir, now that's what I call a good reason to follow back! Any good reading tips you can share?

@zinzy well met! to be honest, no, I don't have any reading recommendations right now. This journey is my latest and most recent path and I am just starting out. I am at the beginning stages of considering a research question. (lots of academic papers bookmarked :) My life has led me to neurodiverse individuals and others who are working through childhood trauma. Stay tuned.

@zinzy do you have any recommendations?

@europe not so much academic, but I've found great value in Bessel van der Kolk's work, as well as various works on the polyvagal theory.
