I am a graduate in psychology. I am passionate about the subject in all it's theoretical aspects and i aspire to become a clinical psychologist because I am interested in mental disorders.
Though we will have internship in hospitals for 3 months at the end of the course, I would like to know beforehand what all i should be prepared for, when it comes to really interacting with a patient.
I am a quiet and sensitive person and so, my family fears that I may not be good at counseling others. The reason I am confident that I will be able to do it, is that I sincerely believe that each person is born on this earth to help others lead better lives, and I want to do as much as I can.
But I need to do complete justice to the people who need help, so please could you tell me what kind of situations I should look out for, and what all constitute the right aptitude for being a clinical psychologist ?
Thanking you,
Me.
