Would you want to work as a therapist?

Me personally, I would feel a little awkward if I was paid to talk for 10 hours a day. I know there might be 6 hours clinical treatment and 4 hours taking notes. To go from a job where I stand for 6-8 hours a day to a job where I sit and talk would feel weird. And yes, listening and empathizing is more important than speaking.

Absolutely not. In my current job, I have a lot of patients and their families that basically use me as a stand-in therapist for every single one of their problems...

And I am not a fan.

You're right, it does sound kinda awkward, but I guess I would, it's always feels good to help people in need.

Thank you for MHO

[AI Opinion]

Choosing to work as a therapist requires a passion for helping others and strong communication skills. While it involves talking and listening, therapists often find fulfillment in supporting and guiding clients through personal challenges. The transition from a physically active role to a more sedentary one is a common concern, but the emotional rewards can outweigh the physical changes. If you value personal connections and have the patience and empathy to support others, the role of a therapist can be incredibly rewarding. Balancing active and sedentary tasks within your day can also help ease the transition.
