I get asked about my career path all the time, and that's why today I wanted to talk about my journey to becoming a therapist as well as things I wish I knew when I first started. Now this is going to be honest, real, and if you are considering the mental health field, it will hopefully help you decide if it's the right career choice for you! First off I feel I must mention that in order to be a good mental health professional you have to get into it to help others, not to figure out what's going on with you or to make sense of what happened in your family. Too often I hear from patients and viewers that their therapist uses much of their sessions to talk about their own issues or reacts to things they say in a non-therapeutic way (like getting angry or referring them out when it's not necessary). I know this may be hard to figure out right away, but a great way to ensure you aren't bringing your own person stuff into your work is to get into your own therapy right away. As I have mentioned before, I believe it should be mandatory for all mental health professionals, but since it isn't I will just strongly encourage you to work on your own issues prior to getting into the field yourself. It's good for you and good for your future patients.
