My path towards becoming a psychotherapist was never a straight line. On a good day the path seemed circular at best. There were many obstacles to be dealt with; countless bumps in the road, turn-around from dead ends, and always more questions than answers. Needless to say, hanging a shingle immediately after my graduate studies was not an ethical option, in my eyes.
There was still much for me to sort out before I felt ready to confidently and skillfully guide others.
One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.
