I went from being a withdrawn child from emotional abuse in the family, to suicide fantasies, to lllicit drug use, to drug addiciton, to drug dealing, to suicide attempt, to my transition; a Personal Development Trainer, Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counselor, Community Activist, Author and Life Coach. Dr. Nathaniel Branden's audio series The Psychology of High Self-Esteem, gave me the thought seed of re-parenting your child-self. This idea coupled with the concept of self-validation gave birth to the idea that was given to me of becoming a mentor to your child-self. With over 20 years in the counseling field, many cilent stories, and life experiences, I started writing my book Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self.
