Thank you so much for making this video. I've had my older sister tell me I was stupid for wanting to become a therapist because I couldn't handle being screamed at by her, and that I was "too sensitive", etc. Maybe one day I'll start taking classes to become a licensed therapist!

this topic was so interesting and I lovedddd this video. also, I knew countertransference/vicarious trauama was a thing that could happen but I didn’t know the name for it until you mentioned it here. I am quite worried that- if I’m not careful- it’s possible it could happen to me when I become a therapist. I’d love to see a video more in depth about it! and possibly some tips on how to carefully avoid it? or does it even happen that easily? anyways, you are a lovely person. I hope your break was beneficial! welcome back!

Loved this! Thank you for making this video! Growing up i've always been called oversensitive, and things of the like and how it will impede me in pursuing psychology, so this is very reassuring! ☺

I agree, you have to be somewhat sensitive to actually care about your patients but strong enough to guard yourself....

[@ninap6697]

this was really informative and helpful. thank you. 💓

I wanted to be a therapist until I worked in a mental hospital. I loved the patients so much, but I realized I didn't know how to separate myself from my job and the patients. It wasn't healthy for me. I probably should have been seeing a therapist as well, as you suggested.

Do you think you could do a video on the fear of intimacy? It's something I feel like I've been going through for a while, and I'd love to hear your take on it!
