Benefits Of Pursuing A Counseling Degree

One professional activity I would like to pursue is to be able to teach at the college level. I love to help people learn and to teach them about something they do not know about. I think my patience and love for psychology would help drive me to help the students in being able to understand the material and learn. Also, I could provide personal stories about working in the counseling profession, and help students understand what counseling is, and what you can do with a counseling degree. With regard to wanting to teach, I am not sure if I would rather teach undergraduates or graduate students because they both offer such different experiences. For example, in working with undergraduates I could help them to understand what they could do with

I would love for people to understand how using drugs or being surrounded in that environment may cause some problems for the kids growing up around this.

To cultivate a kind stance mentally and emotionally is to realize that you are allowed to be upset about things in life that are not going your way but not let them affect how you feel about yourself. To be able to try to improve your self-compassion you could try to track it by how many negative thoughts you have in a day. Then when you do have a negative thought do you recognize it is negative and try to use some strategies of self-compassion. My understanding of the common humanity concept of self-compassion is that everyone at some point struggles with problems in their life (Neff, 2015).
