Hello dear ones,
I'm Merel,
Being of service to humanity is a deeper calling I already felt since I was young. Before I was allowed to work in mental health care, I was doing volunteering work in this field. I visited people to talk about their day, went to do something together or helped with cooking. I did choose to study psychology because I was interested in human behavior and improving this by helping people with their problems. I did study psychology for over 2 years, but I did not feel connected to their teachings.
Let me be clear by saying that I don’t say this system is completely wrong. I do say that I personally don’t feel connected to this, and don’t feel the call to work in this way.
Next to that I started to work in mental healthcare where I was really shocked by things I saw there. Giving very young people antidepressants so easily and putting people in separation cells. Again I don’t say this is completely wrong, sometimes it could come in handy in emergencies.
Nevertheless I do see this as well as medication being used in a too easy way without looking to deeper, underlining causes.
So the universe guided me on another path than western psychology, and I trusted my intuition to take this path. Finding more alignment in the way I work and use my energy intentionally on things that align with me.
