Biography | I am here to provide mentees with a safe, non judgemental, non discriminatory space where you have full control over what goes on in our sessions because getting a teenager to not only trust you, but open up their lives to some random old chick that has a borderline unhealthy obsession with glow in the dark glitter, a bunch of piercings in her face & even more tattoos all other & I'm pretty sure smiling would kill her or cause the ice on her heart to melt a little! I genuinely want to help, but first you'll have to know if you are able to trust me and that I'm secretly telling your parents everything you say as soon as we are finished. LAME! You can tell me you are hooked on smoking fatty powder from your girlfriends…. (Cough) Or that you have committed some serious crimes recently. Or maybe your last straw was snapped & you tell me you're going to kill yourself. You don't scare me and I won't report you to the police, or call police/rescue for a mental health evaluation, or snitch you out to your parents for whatever your doing which could end up causing more damage than good. What do I know, right? I'm just some old fart that's trying to seem tough, but is probably just a marshmallow. How about I tell you about my life first and possibly reconsider the whole "marshmallow" thing after hearing about some of my trauma experiences. |
