Things that i learned about the career that interested me is that you get to help people's life get back together. I believe this career interests me very much because i love helping people and teaching them new ways to cope with their life. This career doesn't only focus on one point but it focuses on many things such as anxiety, hyperactivity, phobias, and parents who don't get along with their children. I would love to this as a living because i think that it would bring a rush to my life knowing that i might be saving someone's family or life.
