Once again, it’s been awhile! I kept trying to write something about exploring one’s identity outside of being a therapist. But every time I tried, I couldn’t find the words. I didn’t want people read into it and think I secretly hate my job. Or for people to assume that if you need more than work in life, then maybe you chose the wrong field. Eventually I accepted that I can’t control others’ perceptions. But what I can do is challenge the beliefs we have about our careers, our identities, and work itself. That’s what I’m going for anyway.
