So today I started school again. It's a commitment that will take me to 2023 at which point I will be a Psychologist and qualified Therapist (that's an affirmation). One foot in the science the other in the art. I hope the world is ready 😂. Self belief is an absolute necessity for any success, but today I was reminded that it's so bloody fragile. I was totally over-fucking-whelmed (T-shirts coming soon) today. As I gawped at the Zoom screen with 30 complete strangers staring back. I did my best to ensure my face looked paying-attentiony. In fact I spent more time looking at my own gormless mug than the tutor. I also spent a lot of time checking out the interior design of my peers living quarters. Mostly I just kept thinking everyone else looked like they had their shit togther and I was just faking it. Well, everyone except Becky, who would chime in every 3 minutes to remind us she couldn't hear anything. Cool Becks, we get it, I'm fucking meting in my seat over here, I can't be IT support at the same time. Anyway, we do this thing called "checking out" at the end of counseling practice. We share how how we think the session went and anything we felt. I couldn't believe it, everyone was like "I was nervous, I was feeling overwhelmed, I wasn't sure if this was right for me…". They were all fucking poker-facing too! Every single one of them… well, all except Becky. Becky couldn't hear anything. - Follow @plasticbraincompany - . . #plasticbraincompany #psychotherapy #psychology #mentalhealthstrategy #copingstrategy #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #positiveaffirmations #positiveaffirmationfortheday #mentalwellbeing #mentallystrong #mentalhealthrecovery #mentallyfit #quarantinewellness #selflovetips #selflovethread #selfloveweek #motivation101 #motivationals #motivationalposts #motivationday #selfcarequotes #selfcaretip #selfcaredaily #selfcareinplace #selfcareeveryday #healingvibes #healingyourself https://www.instagram.com/p/CGF5g6CA_Cd/?igshid=12v7oven3vjxl
