The quest for understanding and healing of my being led me to want to study only one thing [Week - 154]

Throughout my life, my preferences regarding what I would pursue as a student have varied somewhat. I remember that, in my early childhood, I was attracted to scientific subjects related to astronomy, so my dream at that time was to be an astronaut, then I realized how demanding that profession was; so I became more interested in dinosaurs and wanted to be a paleontologist, that was when I was about eleven years old.

At the age of twelve, I came up with a rather spontaneous and interesting idea without any specific background, and that was to study psychology. At that time, I knew nothing about that career, I was simply attracted to the idea of helping people mentally. A year after that decision, I started to experience some changes in my perception. I started to analyze things more from the age of thirteen, to observe the problems and the backgrounds they had, their effects on our attitude and health.

In the search for understanding human nature, I came across various theoretical concepts that spoke of the subconscious, metaphysics and the inconceivable. I realized that spirituality and healing are things that go hand in hand with happiness and wholeness of being. At that time, I only had concepts in my mind, forgiveness and acceptance were not things I took for granted, I was still struggling too much in the midst of adolescence. You may ask yourself, what does this have to do with psychology? Well, forgiveness is one of the main therapies in this area, as well as the acceptance of many things that we cannot change outside of ourselves.

I remember there was a time when I attended a very beautiful family psychological therapy workshop, in which they touched on different topics at the level of relationship and family development quite useful. One of the many was forgiveness towards parents, even if you do not have resentment towards any of them, you should still forgive them.

I would like to study psychology because it is something that I have executed in a certain way with me, and of course, I would love to help others in their healing process and understanding of their problems, to help them to organize their ideas and concepts properly for a good development in life.
