Do they really know the answer? No - but you do, and it's their job to help you find it in yourself. I see them as stabile, supportive guides who assist us in rebuilding ourselves; but we do the work. It is a very sensitive field and there has to be a fit for optimal results between the practitioner and the person seeing them. Not that it can't work out if you aren't a perfect match, but sometimes the road is rocky. In fact, it often is rocky. So you need someone professional enough to hold a positive space for you where it is ok to be who you are and experience what you are experiencing and complete your journey without having to do it alone.

Unfortunately, I hear that many do get burned out in this field. Even so, I am also working towards changing careers to become a T and someday maybe I'll look at being a psychologist.

Best of luck to you.
