For my friends with PMDD, do you have a psychiatrist you recommend? BC has not helped me, so not looking for an Obgyn.
Thanks!!!
Edit: Please do not recommend lifestance. I had a horrible experience.
Hi! I'm finishing up my 1st year of my CMHC program. I have encountered some really unexpected health issues, and I'm debating whether to continue. I worry about the emotional impact and stress of being a therapist, as stress can make my disease flare up.
I'm considering other career paths I can do full or part time in case being a therapist takes a toll on me. Does anyone have a colleague or friend who pursued government work or nonprofit (non-clinical) work or something in a college that isn't doing therapy? I just need to figure out if it is worth sticking out the program for 2 more years and putting myself through internship (luckily I am married and don't need to worry about housing or healthcare costs).
