“I figured that I would become that which I needed. So I started my chemo but the same day I also started my Doctor of Psychology program. Because even if I didn’t survive this, I was determined to at least start creating a roadmap for other people that have to come down this road. Luckily I am here. I am a Doctor of Psychology. I specialize in critical illness psychology. I specifically use a type of psychology called psychosynthesis… One of the things that psychosynthetic psychologists use is we use the principle of disidentification, which is our ability to step back mentally and reflect on what is happening within us in order to experience our true self free from any of the inner turmoil that we may be currently experiencing.” – Dr. Brittany Clayborne
