Becoming a therapist was never a conscious decision. As I learnt more about psychology through stories of great thinkers and philosophers, of Freud & Jung, or Ellis & Rogers, of Frankl & Maslow, I realised the unfolding of my own story. As I started training, I heard the stories of others- of shame, of guilt, of courage and of resilience. Gradually, it dawned on me; I wanted to hear more stories, help people heal, help them recreate and retell thier stories. Being on the other side of the table, I gained profound insight from my own therapy. I came to realise the power of talking and safe space. It only strengthened the resolve to carry that learning forward. The only way I knew how to do that was to become a therapist.
