Great video! These seem like really fulfilling and rewarding careers - do you think working in psychology is suited to someone with a more introverted personality, given a lot of it is social and people-orientated?

Thank you! I feel like I've met as many introverts in psychology as extroverts tbh. I think what we all have in common is that we're interested in people. From this interest I think anyone can build therapeutic skill regardless of personality
