Honestly I've also expressed in the past,that I wanted to be a child psychologist. My T basically told me,that where I was right now in my life,that maybe it wasn't best. (not the exact words) (she tried not giving advice) I thought she was right,how could I care and be there for other people,when I could barely take care of myself at the moment. She didn't discourage me,just made me think for a moment (I'm going to be some kind of doctor regardless)

How do you believe it would have benefited you by knowing what she thought? At the end of the day,its your decision whether you want or not,not trying to be mean here,just trying to let you see,that regardless,whether you liked her answer or not,it shouldn't really matter.

Not necessarily that she would share her thoughts if they were positive (not saying they are negative) but T don't want to be the ones making those types of decisions for you,they want us to be more assertive in our own lives

I think she was trying to spare your feelings,maybe even thought that she would've been caught in a "damned if you do,damned if you don't situation" my T tends to be pretty vague at times and it def. becomes frustrating

Good Luck
Thanks for this!
