I am a commuter Nursing student at the University of Southern Maine. I live in my childhood home in Standish, Maine with my biological parents along with my two dogs, Happy and Sunny. Physically, I am healthy; I am fit and am free of any illness or pain. However, and as Greiner and Cannon (1991) remind us, “if we limit the perception of health to merely the absence of disease, we limit our perception of therapy to that which eradicate or alleviates disease” (p. 121).
