What profession do you admire most and why?

I’d have to say I greatly admire psychologists/therapists who genuinely care about their patients.

I admire the ones who will fight back against the system that is constantly pushing to medicate every single person immediately, and focuses on alternative options first when it is appropriate.

I admire the ones who will refer patients to other therapists if they notice that the patient is not seeming to be fully open or comfortable and could benefit from seeing a colleague of theirs.

I admire the ones who entered this profession with the goal of helping others reach their full potential, while also having the desire to improve society as a whole when it comes to mental health and wellbeing.

I admire the ones who are compassionate and and empathetic-the ones who truly care for others, rather than someone who just shows up for a paycheck.

A huge thank you to all the mental health professionals who are helping their patients have a stronger sense of compassion towards themselves, as well as helping them create a happy and healthy future.
