When I thought about.. or actually did pursue masters in counseling.. one of the key questions they ask.. which you should answer for yourself. is.

Why do I want to pursue a mental health career? What parts of my experiences are un-healed and thus may prevent me from giving adequate care to others? Do I have a sufficient plan for giving myself the support to "look out" for those types of situations? Is my desire to pursue this career more out of inadequate experiences or a true match between my desires and my talents that will enable me to be successful?

Best of luck as you explore your future!
