Thank you again for such a wonderful video!! This was extremely helpful and I feel much more clarity! I especially loved the piece about owning your ignorance! That is really all we can do as starters :) Also, I appreciate how quickly you put together such a high quality, content-packed video. Your support and guidance is very much appreciated!

Just got my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and the goal is to become a clinical psychologist. This type of content is really helpful and takes the edge off. The more I do the less qualified I feel to practice in this field. You mentioning the imposter syndrome was a light-bulb moment for me. Thank you.

I stumbled upon this video. This is very helpful! My situation is different in the fact that I received my Masters Degree over 20 years ago intending to be a therapist right away. After I had my son I had to change my focus and help him with his mental challenges. Now I feel I’m in a place to pursue my PLPC now. I just passed the NCE and am finding places that will help me with the training I need.Thank you for this video definitely helped me see things I needed to be aware of.

Such a great channel. I love the “you are not a savior” segment. Fantastic insight and beautiful delivery. Sincere gratitude! ♥️
-
Just in time! I genuinely need to hear this. I am in the first 3 months and I feel that I am already hit the buttom, not because of the patients but because of the supervisor. Sometimes they are soooooo mean. Choosing the supervisor is as much important as the success or failure. I wish I heard your video before I start. Thank you very much , it explains a lot of new starters crappie struggles.

This is great advice for any healthcare professional!

I started my internship last week and my very first client was suicidal 😳 my heart was pounding out of my chest. Once I snapped out of it I found the suicide assessment form and assessed them then i stepped out to call my supervisor (which I should’ve did first but it felt weird to just leave after them telling me that) I freaked out on the inside but it really did help me doing something that scared me. I’m still working with the client now and it’s gotten better.
-
Thank you so much for this video! I started my practicum for my masters in clinical mental health counseling and am suffering severe imposter syndrome. I am so excited to work with my clients yet so scared of letting them down, so your segment in “owning your own ignorance” helped me a lot. Much appreciated!

Kindness, wisdom, mindfulness, deep listener, understanding, and compassion.

I’m still in my first year of grad school and it’s a big career change for me. your videos give me great reassurance that my anxiety of becoming a therapist is normal and that I can view these problems in positive developmental way. Thank you for this videos and all your other videos!
-
Thank you so much! I'm at the end of a Masters in clinical social work, and today I saw my first patient right after I saw this video. This helped me calm down before my appointment!
-
Thank you so much for your insight. I have been a therapist for 6months. I appreciate the feedback.
-
I'm not a therapist but I still watched your videos because I can still apply these lessons in regular life
-
So glad I found your channel when I most need it! This is great, thanks for normalizing the process (and bumps) of becoming a therapist!
-
This video was so helpful. Thank you for being so generous and authentic. Truly appreciated.

So ridiculously helpful, thank you!

Hi Dr. Mattu, thank you so much for sharing this. I've saved this video to watch since it came out and completely forgotten about it! Now that I've watched it, it was really helpful for me! Being a trainee clinical psychologist, and most of the times dealing with self-doubts about my capacity to be a therapist can be overwhelming but these advises are brilliant and not in a "directive" manner so as to overwhelms us even more. I'm genuinely grateful for stumbling upon your channel some long time ago :)
-
OMG. I’m new in this field-and this video is EVERYTHING! You said so much of what I’ve been thinking! Thank you thank you thank you so much!!

Just discovered you, Dr Ali! Thank you for what you are doing. I am soaking up your content and intend to use it to better support my colleagues at work. I am always on the hunt to improve my skills and your channel is quite revolutionary in its uniqueness and practicality.
