In this episode, Part 2 of “Chasing Dreams: What Does it Take to Pursue a Psychology/Therapy Degree?”, I reflect on how my psychology/therapy degree has shaped me, particularly focusing on the resilience it has helped me develop. We revisit themes from Episode 40, such as self-awareness and vulnerability, and dive deeper into the emotional and mental challenges I’ve faced throughout my educational journey.

I discuss the importance of self-care, the demands of internships, and the resilience required to juggle work, school, and personal life. This episode highlights how perseverance and mental strength play a crucial role in surviving and thriving as a counseling student, and offers insights into navigating the highs and lows of this path.
