SARAH T ECKFELDT

For as long as I can remember, I've been interested in understanding what makes people tick differently from each other. I distinctly remember, at 6 years old, coming to the realization that the friends and adults in my life had different thoughts, beliefs, views, and judgements which sometimes led to miscommunication, disappointment and frustration. I remember thinking that if I could only know and understand what the other person was thinking, and why, I could bridge the gap between us. My thinking wasn't so eloquent back then, no, … my 6 year old brain thought mental health therapists were telepathic and actually were able to read peoples' minds therefore understanding others better.
