Quay, you sound just like me! Down to a lot of details. I'd much rather go for a Ph.D. also, but right now that seems out of reach. Although maybe I'll apply for doctoral programs and transfer. We'll see. Then I would be away from home five days per week and only be able to come home on weekends, unless my family moves. Maybe they would, but they wouldn't like it.

I hope I wouldn't freeze up as a counselor like I do as a client, but I don't think I would, as it's easier to deal with other people's issues, and I would have to have mine pretty much dealt with by then anyway.

My T says she doesn't like speaking to large groups, yet she's great at teaching classes. She says she can do that because of her love for what she is teaching. I think I could do that too, but I need to work on my vocal qualities and confidence.

I bet you'll make it just fine too. We can always support and encouarage each other, right?
