Congrats, Asiablue!
I'm in my second semester of my first year in a masters of social work program. I love it so far, but sometimes what we do in class and during internships hit too close to home.
I thought I was much further along in my recovery when I first started school, but the transition and the stress of the school was really hard. My old T thought that I had to be perfectly stable/healthy before I could even go to school to be a therapist, but I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon, so I just went for it. I'm in the clinical SW concentration and want to eventually work in mental health, but I think I'm going to start working in more medical settings until I'm strong enough to a) not be triggered by clients, and b) have enough insight and space so I can be more objective and helpful to my clients.

Good luck and congrats again!
