Graduate school can be one of the coolest experiences you have. You get a chance to experience being on your own in the safety net of the school.
Thinking about diving into grad school? It can feel like a monumental decision, especially if you're pursuing a career in therapy. But don't worry, Betsy Byler has got your back with 12 invaluable tips to help you navigate this exciting yet challenging journey. First off, Betsy highlights the importance of prioritizing your own mental health. By working through your personal issues, you'll be in a much better position to support your future clients.
She also offers sage advice on managing your finances wisely. While student loans might be necessary, it's crucial to keep an eye on your debt load. Balancing work and school is another common hurdle, but Betsy suggests leveraging any flexibility your program offers to make life a bit easier. When it comes to choosing classes, being intentional is key. Opt for courses that either deepen your knowledge or broaden your understanding of the field.
Internships are a must, and social media can be a powerful tool for building your professional network. Betsy also touches on the ever-changing political landscape around student loans, urging you to stay informed. Homework and readings? Respect your professors by doing the recommended work. And be cautious about joining paid organizations—they might not always be worth the investment.
By following these tips, you'll not only survive grad school but thrive in it, setting yourself up for a rewarding career as a therapist. Ready to dive deeper? Tune in to the full episode now.
