I agree with Divine. I think it's actually commendable to realize that you might not have one of the skills necessary to make an effective therapist and to leave the program before you get to the stage where you are actually working with real clients who depend on you. There are a lot of T's out there who are not as self-aware as you are (including, perhaps, your own T!) who end up doing more harm than good because they don't have the skills necessary to help clients. Have you considered working in another area of mental health? There are other ways to use knowledge of psychology, social work, etc than becoming a T who sees clients. Case manager? Social worker? Psychiatric nurse? High school psych teacher?
