Expert Profile: Karen

Expertise:  I can answer questions about healing after trauma.
I can answer questions about the physical and mental/emotional effects of trauma.
I am able to give general advice to those who have been hurt in the past.

I am not a professional and my advice is to be considered friendly support and not therapy. I'm here to help with healing!

I cannot give answers that would be considered medical advice. I can, however, reply with helpful links about medicines and such. I cannot directly answer legal questions but I can do my best to help someone find the right answer using the internet.

Experience in the area

Experience in the area
I am an abuse survivor myself. I used the internet as a resource for years to help heal myself as I didn’t feel comfortable letting my parents know. So, I understand those fears quite well. I’ve spent over 5 years working on support groups on MSN and Yahoo and a handful of chat rooms. (Generally the majority of the same group, relocating over time.) This included holding chats for the groups and answering personal emails or posts on the forums.

Education/Credentials
I am in my first year of Psychology and Sociology. I’ve read multiple books and articles about the matter.


Education/Credentials
I am currently enrolled in a university to study Psychology and Sociology.
I have worked for a year and a half in a mental health hospital.
I have organized and helped run support groups online for 5 years.
