My psychiatrist told me that I chose to study psychology, because deep inside i knew something was wrong and I was seeking answers. I have heard it again, and I have read about it.
What do you think?
Do you have a degree in psychology??
Yes. I have heard about that in college too.
One professor had taught us that
Heard about what?
What was your overt motivation to study psychology
About the fact that many people choose psychology or psychiatry because they have some mental illness, or psychological problems that need to be understood
Cool, so you’re like a qualified psychologist?
I thought that it is like philosophy but about the soul. I thought that we would learn about psychoanalysis, which was my favorite topic back then. But Freud is not so acceptable nowadays. And I lost interest in Freud. And then I lost interest in psychology, counseling. I couldn’t study. I couldn’t pay attention to the classes etc
Nah, I have no master’s.
But you got your degree? That’s a good achievement
I help an autistic boy, brother of a female friend of mine
Yes, it was hard though. I couldn’t function well
Oh ok, maby psychiatrist is right then because why would you like to have learned more about the soul.
Fair play to you. And for helping that boy
I also have a degree and completed training in psychometry and career counselling couldnt find a job in the field though opportunities are scarce here.
You live in USA?
I live in South Africa
Oh cool, like @anon39015889.
So do you work?
Yes I work Im a supervisor at Amazon, been asked to advance but taking it slow, will move up again early next year probably.
In your studies om, was there any info on why the voices are so intelligent and can trick you into delusions?
