      Not sure if you know , but the captions are completely different than what you talk about n the video, it’s some weird creepy script about death and South Korea , not sure if this was a accident or if it’s a UA-cam glitch but I thought I reach out so that your video wouldnt get flagged and you could change it . Great info though ❤️

    Thanks for this. I currently work in L&D training and always loved the area of psychology. Just recently realised psychotherapy is the area I want to study in as I always love helping people throughout my life. I will start studying part time while working full time.

    I'm an "older" person thinking of going back to school to become a psychotherapist. I do have my BS in Psychology already, but getting a Masters seems like such a big undertaking. Thanks so much for breaking the process down; this is a great video and I love the way you present all this information! Xoxo

    hi there! i’m currently in my second year of community college w my major as nursing but i’ve always felt that nursing wasn’t for me. i noticed however that i love psychology and i fell in love with it when i had to take PSY101 as a prereq for nursing. ever since then, i would do my own research about in the field which led more into mental health. it just hit me today that i would consider and i can see myself being a therapist helping people out and listening to them, but i wanted to know the route in order to get there. it seems like a lot im not going to lie, and i’m not sure how i’ll bring it up to my parents about me changing my career! but i can see myself doing it i’m 19 years old

      hey having that conversation with your parents can definitely be tough so wishing you the best - i know a lot of therapists who were formerly nurses and having that degree can also inform your practice as a therapist.

    Hi!! this video was so useful, im just wondering what graduate university you chose? I'm really confused regarding what university's offer programs that will lead to a job as a psychotherapist in a private practice, even if you could share various options because after researching online and finding so many options and its a bit overwhelming and confusing to know which options are viable.

      Heeeyyy, yes it is possible. I worked full time and completed the program full time- I switched from a 9-5 to a job that was flexible with its hours in order to both work and complete my masters full time.
