Yes. I wasn't sure I was up for it at first. I thought I was going to do research in psychology. But then.. turns out, even though I'm still working on my own wellness, I am a pretty good T. It surprised me.

There is something, at least for me, about stepping into the role of a therapist. It feels like stepping into the role itself gives me infinite patience, infinite compassion, and enough emotional distance to do what is right for the person, rather than acting in my own interest. At times, I am not perfect in this.. but your T isn't either, guarantee it.

The thing I would say is that before you become a T, you should have good practice in setting boundaries with the emotionally volatile and needy people in your life. I got good at this before I practiced any therapy.
