First off, I am a Psychology major, meaning a student. I am not a professional, so I have no clients.
Secondly, my depression has allowed me to grow more empathetic towards others with problems. I know first hand what they go through, which is why when I come across someone suffering with some sort of mental illness or emotional problems, I tell them to get help. Even though I am not strong enough to seek help myself, I know others are better off doing so.
Third, it's not just about not wanting to put learned theories into practice. Nor a matter of not believing in it. Definitely not as simple as that. I am not ready to actually deal with my problems by talking about and confronting them. I pretty much know what I will be put through if I was to seek help, which is why I am not brave enough to do it.
IIN that I am a Psychology major, but refuse to..
