Did therapy make you want to become a therapist?

Multiple choice would have described it best for me. There was a development:

"I wanted to be a therapist before I went to a therapist myself" (decades ago, for a while)
Then
"It made me think about it for awhile but I realized it was not for me"
"Ack - of course not if anything it made me more skeptical of those people"
Simple "no"

I have always been interested in psychology and I think I do have some features that would not make a horrible therapist, e.g. being observant, very interested in psychological issues and how people work but with an an ability to stay back, not get very affected, look at others and my own reactions more objectively and analytically. But I get easily overwhelmed with people and with monotony/repetitions, and very much tend to run in the opposite direction when facing clinginess. I am also rather commitment phobic. I don't think I would be able to "work through" the latter things, or would not want to, so I'm better suited for doing research on mental health stuff (what I do).

Yes because I've had so many bad therapists I want to be a good therapist to people using functional medicine and holistic methods

I've thought about becoming one but I had thought about it before I was in therapy.

In my teen years, I wanted to be a child psychologist. That never happened though...and I had not been in therapy until years later.

I was a special ed teacher and am ABD on a phd in special ed (that I'm not going to finish). I've considered becoming a child/adolescent therapist and/or parent coach. But I'm waiting until my kids are a lot bigger.

I wanted to be a therapist for several years before I went to see one myself. I had already started my studies in the field and that's actually how I met the therapist I chose to work with.

That said, my own therapy helped me to decide on the school I was going to train in, which I hadn't been sure about before.

I'd considered becoming a therapist but decided against it because I realize that I am not empathetic and giving enough to be the kind of therapist that I would want to be. I don't think that the self centeredness and glibness displayed by the T in the above quote is appropriate when dealing with hurt, vulnerable people.

Yes it did make me become a therapist, mainly because I wanted to be an ethical t, one that would never hurt a client intentionally.
My training has cost an absolute fortune and I know I will never make that money back but it has been worth the money because I have changed for the better.

I've read a ton about therapy because of my interest in it as a result of being in therapy. I've probably read far more on erotic transference and countertransference than most practicing therapists. All of my reading made me, of course, think about how good of a job I'd do as a therapist, and whether it would be an interesting career for me. I don't want to switch careers, though, and I'm not sure if I'd be a good therapist.

Yes and I am going to be starting college for 4 years from September to train as a counsellor

I actually thought you were a therapist.

Years before I began therapy, I wanted to become a therapist. Specifically, I wanted to open up a clinic with my best friend (who wanted to be a nutritionist -- still does, actually) to help treat young men and women with eating disorders. Both she and I had/have eating disorders.
But going to therapy has made me realize that it takes a special set of skills to be a therapist, and I simply don't have those skills. That's okay -- I have found another career path which suits me. There are too many therapists out there who really shouldn't be in the field, and I don't want to be one of them.

I wanted to be a psychologist since I was about 13. University added an extra exam too late, and I has no time to prepare, so I had to choose another speciality.

Therapy made me want to become a doctor, but it's too late to start education and I have no money.
I read a lot about psychotherapy/psychiatry, sometimes t says "you know more than me!", he's joking of course

no. never. I could never do it. I don't like people. Well, maybe I should rephrase that. I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to talking face to face with people. I will never overcome that.
