I am sitting here just thinking about how in about a month I will be presenting my thesis work at a conference in MN.
It seems sureal to me. It’s hard to believe that I am being given this oppurtunity. I know I have worked hard for it, and that I deserve it. The looming reality of my professional career is there, waiting for me to own it and claim it. Each day I feel like more and more I am stepping into this version of myself that I always was but never fully knew completely.
There’s still a year left of my program. In a year I will be a temporarily licsned therapist working somewhere in Iowa City hopfully. I keep hearing more and more how “you will make a great therapist”. Yet the words haven’t quite stuck on me in any sort of way. That’s what I mean buy not fully knowing myself and moving closer to owning this idea of being a “great therapist”.
I don’t know if I will be great but I hope to be at least good at it a little bit. I want to help peole help themselves to live their best life.
