I think it’s also ok to know that if you want to do something different, you can. There are therapists out there ended up changing career, and it’s ok. I also wish someone would tell me that therapists can make money. The way to do is to learn marketing skills, invest in specialization, so you can do attract clients willing to pay you, do workshops, write books, form other ways of income.
