I admire your courage for giving up dentistry and enthusiasm for being a T, and I'm so happy you've found the right path! You have modeled for me how excited I want to allow myself to get instead of feeling full of doubt. And I'm glad your T was supportive and happy for you, especially since it was so difficult for you to bring up. It sounds like you're ready to "set the world on fire" so to speak, and your T's support only amplified this.  She confirmed for you just how attuned the two of you are, and that is something to celebrate in your life, so again, I'm sorry!
I'm feeling a lot better about the whole situation after processing it last night. And you're right that our situations are different, and we're at different stages. I need to decide for myself if it's what I want to do, and I'm responsible for believing in me. Thanks for inspiring me ShrinkPatient! I will spend my winter break imagining myself in the T role and start to increase my belief in myself.
Best of luck in your schooling. |
I like to think of myself as someone who is sensitive to the feelings of others. I wasn't thinking when I posted at that is what I regret.
I'm really glad you are feeling better about the situation. Sometimes I wonder if Ts think about just how much what they say and what they don't say affects us. I get upset about things my T says sometimes too. I have a tendency to put everything she says in the worse possible light. I am so analytical it not funny.
Thank you for all the kind words you wrote about me.
you are very kind. If my words truly made you feel better, I can't express how happy that makes me. I just know you're going to figure this out.
Thank you so much!!!
