Hi everyone.
I'm new here and I joined because I have recently started going to school with the hopes that someday I will be a therapist.
I'm 32 years old and am in my second, part-time, semester at a community college. I will transfer in a few years to a state college.
I've always been interested in psychology, but up until I started seeing my current therapist I thought it would never happen. She inspired me to start this. We never really discussed it, just all of a sudden I decided it was time.
I have my last appointment with her today. She's moving to another state to be closer to her family. I'm very sad, and am not sure I will find someone like her. She has given me 2 names of other therapists that I will check out as soon as I get over the "no one's going to be like her" attitude.
I was raised in dysfunction, like so many are, and until I was 30 I was oblivious as to why my life was such a mess. I had just thought it was always going to be that way. Well, I found a different way, although I still have many issues to work through I am recognizing those issues and trying to work through them, trying to find the roots of the issues.
I guess I just wanted to share that and say that I'm glad to be here. I'm sure that this forum is going to be very helpful to me, in a lot of ways.
