I have an MSW and quit therapy (though to be fair I was mostly doing policy-level and community-level work, not individual counseling type work) to become a programmer, but occasionally I think about going back. Good read, thanks!
I definitely think nearly anyone could benefit from therapy (and a lot of people could benefit from a few strong psychedelic sessions where they are willing to ask themselves what they really want to do with this one precious and fleeting lifetime) and I applaud the courage it takes to listen deeply to oneself and strike out on that path.
We could for sure benefit from a lot more humans asking deeply and honestly "Does this make me deeply happy and what effects (if any) do I want my work to have on other people's lives?"
