Hello, I am a highschool student wanting to get into a psychology career. I would love to do research into the unconscious mind, neuroplasticity and/or anything to do with psychoanalysis. It would also be awesome to become some kind of therapist, but I am not sure yet. I live in Canada and don't have the money for any fancy universities. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello Miss Hobbit,

One of the inexpensive ways you can half train into the practioners' sphere is

1. Read a Ton of books
Hypnosis: Anything by Dr. Shelley Stockwell
Persuasion/Influence: Anything by Dr. Kevin Hogan (KevinHogan dot com)

2. Attend local Community Education Programs Workshops
Inexpensive way to connect

Cheers and welcome!

I would suggest the works of Plato. Plato was one of the few people in history who understood that the mind is evolving to function through the artifices of langauge. Therefore, if one exercise the mind in principles of rationality, one can improve.

Confucius stated the same thing, however he seems to have concentrated on the actual part of standards in behavior, which is also important. These standards in behavior, also extend to the works of Plato, but he recommended a long study in the exact sciences. One learns how names can and cannot be used during that training.

In fact, if one pay attention to how Plato defines a Philosopher, one might today call him a psycho-linguist.

One of the founding principles of practice is clarification of conflict within a person, a person is brought face to face with their own contradictions and they are resolved by that person one conflict at a time--if they can.

Bringing a person face to face with their own conflicts can get quite colorful and messy, not to mention dangerous.

I reccommend that you pursue a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work in Canada. This will give you a career to practice and research on the Post Graduate level the research that interests you.

There is no reason to confront a person with his or own internal conflict.
