7: Becoming a Therapist, and Learning from Therapy

I've received a number of questions related to becoming a therapist, what it's like to sit with people, what I've learned from my graduate program, and whether I'd recommend it to other people. Today I'm exploring those questions through the lens of my own experience training to become a somatic psychotherapist.
