OMG I'm so happy you asked that question. I was just thanking my therapist last night for inspiring me in this area.

I dropped out of high school, PTSD/family issues. I took a few college courses a few months later, but didn't get any traction for a couple reasons. After about 15 years, I got my Associates, but a family health crisis and job loss made a Bahcelor's unfeasible for a couple years. When I met my therapist, I was burnt out by work and unfulfilled. After perhaps a couple months together, she asked me about going back to school, and I ran with the idea. I enrolled in college and have completed 8 of 20 courses I need to graduate, so I'm only a year away from having the degree I've wanted for 20 years. She also questioned my career choice, saying she couldn't really see me in the profession I'd planned on, which was a compromise I'd made thinking it'd be better for my family. She inspired me to do something truly meaningful, by her own example, and by asking me what I really wanted, so my degree will be in a field I'm excited about that plays to my strengths and passions, and I am planning a career in it once I graduate.

Also, my therapist has definitely helped me with work/life balance, helping me understand how important it is to make time for myself and deal with family/job pressures.
