In this milestone 40th episode of the Student Counselor Podcast, I introspect on the transformative path of a counseling student. I look back at my journey through obtaining my bachelor's in psychology and starting my master's in mental health counseling, profoundly illuminating the positive impact these programs have had on my life.

I delve into how this pursuit has not only enriched my understanding of human interactions but also made me a better person for it. Discover what a degree in Psychology/Therapy can do to you and how much vulnerability it will bring out of you.

I also address the challenges that come with taking off the therapist's hat in personal relationships and the emotions that surface when learning about different personalities, familial issues, and more.

I'll share my experiences with meditation, journaling, and having a morning routine. It's important to remember one crucial aspect: being kind to yourself.

In this episode, I talk about the classes I took during my Spring 2023 semester. I also give you an insight into what made me decide to change my plans for when I will be starting my Practicum and Internship.

As much as we plan our future, it can always change. And although life is constantly changing, it doesn't mean we shouldn't plan our lives. We have to plan our lives, and when alterations happen, we devise a new plan. The way we deal with changes defines us.

In this episode, I speak with an associate professor from the University of the Cumberlands, Dr. Laura Schmuldt, who was my professor for the Group Counseling course, and Ph.D. student Elisa Pellegrino, who was the group facilitator for my Group Counseling course. We spoke all about Group Counseling and its benefits!

This was a very special episode. Not only because I had the privilege to speak with a professor from my university but also because it was the first time I interviewed two people simultaneously on the show. Such a great conversation. Thank you, Dr. S and Elisa, for taking the time to speak with me. I learned a lot from our conversation, and I am sure others will also!
