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
