become a clinical psychologist

Yesterday was the last day of my internship toward the PsyD degree. Now, to finish the dissertation and be a doc!

It’s 5 years of training ahead… But at least I feel like I’m going somewhere.

This is something I’ve wanted to do for as long as I remember. Not only is psychology interesting but I get to help people. People like me, people worse off than me.

But this is also why I won’t go see a doctor. What if I’m not allowed to become one because I’ve had to see a psychologist myself?

Lol, I suppose it’s true though, you can’t get doctors to see a doctor. Though I’m not a doctor…. yet :P.

After Uni I wanna get into the NHS course… but only 30% of people get in, and I know I’ll not be the best.

And then I’d want a psyd also.

It’s gunna take years, but I wanna do it.

And I’m still full of doubts as to my capability ><.

Is a wonderful to help people to heal.

Have finished a degree in Psychology and am currently doing a masters by research. Hopefully finished in a few months but my supervisor (a clinical psychologist) makes me dread going into work everyday – He’s so hard to deal with. Determined to make it through though!

2nd year of uni this year, with this as the end goal.

People (in general) have no idea the amount of time it takes to get this degree and become licensed.

And after the degree:
1. Get needed postdoc supervision
2. Take and pass licensure exam

Met with Mr. H today; I might be helping him come up with an Animal Behaviors syllabus for a future high school class?

Getting my BA in Psychology at Stanford. This will be my last year. I need to organize my classes for next year.
