Im graduating. I have money from dad till im studying. I have to pick master's degree. And i have to be able to work what i studied so his investition isn't in vain. Im really confused. All i know is to become a therapist i need hours of courses (not university courses) that cost a lot each. Most courses are in the capital and so are most master's programs but i don't want to live there but i don't think my parents would pay me to live here without studying here or to live at both places. Also the accreditation courses to become a therapist are really expensive. Wondering if i can have a practice just as a psychologist not as a therapist
Meanwhile my condition keeps on being critical and im recieving no help. Talked to my first therapist and nothing, will talk to my second in an hour and i don't think she will make me feel better. And it's not like i need a new therapist, i have enough, just in this country they're all like this. Nobody is taking me seriously

the answers are often found in fellowship with others who are suffering like yourself. i have found a lot of comfort in the teachings of thich nhat hahn. he teaches us to have self-compassion in the face of the unknown, feelings of failure, grief, and more. I truly have felt at sea my entire life, so I understand your anxiety. You are not alone. I have felt these feelings you have.
I will be honest with you and say that I don't know how you can be a therapist until you are better yourself. Your energy needs to go into your own healing before you can heal others.
And there are lots of master's degrees in which you can segue with a degree in psychology so that your dad won't feel his investment has gone to waste. Check out this article with a long list of possibilities:
Some may require more schooling or training, some may not. I realize the list is aimed at U.S. readers, but I don't know how to find resources for Bulgaria.
Don't despair! Think about how you can combine your degree and training with your other talents to open other doors. You have so much to give. And your university should have counseling for gradutates. Even if it isn't ideal, take advantage of whatever your school has to offer.
