Hello! At a certain point in our lives we all need to start working, and as I've said in previous posts I'm studying psychology, but how will my work be when working as a psychologist? Well, this job being with one person or a group of people makes it indoors. This favors the way in wich the work happens, allowing me to develop things in a particular way, especially in cases in wich it's necessary to work with an 'in-depth therapy'. And even though this is not a travel-friendly job, it's very satisfying when you can see the results in people, making the effort and the few possibilities of travel worth it. If we talk about the salary that psychologists earn in Chile, I think it is something quite variable, although to be honest it's something I don't want to think about right now. This is because what has brought me to study psychology is not the salary, it's the way in wich I can work and help people at the same time. So, just as for me it was more i

Hi! I dare say that people can always count on the company of their pets (if you have one, of course), so we look for them every time we want to play or show affection to them. They become a member of the family, giving us unconditional love all the time. That's amazing. As much as my beautiful cat is! My cat is the only pet I've ever had, and he has been with us (my family and I) since January 2019. His name is Yoongi and he was about three months old when we brought him home. Before that, he was picked up from the street by a friend of my sister, who found him with one of his paws run over (but he was able to recover from that!!). So, it was because of my sister that we met him and decided to bring him to our home, as I said before. At the beginning it was a little complicated for our parents to let us have a cat or a pet, because animals need the same care that a child needs, so to speak. But now that he is with us they love him as much as we do, and I'm sure they couldn

Welcome to my new post! Today I'm going to talk about the university career that I'm studying, because I think it's important to know the way that it helps people. First, I have to say that a lot of people think that going to the psychologist is only for "crazy people", in terms of what they understand about it, but that's wrong. Those prejudices in our society are a limit for people to go to therapy, especially in countries like the one where I live: Chile. It's for that reason that I'm taking this opportunity to talk about it. Lately we've been able to notice the consequences of going through a pandemic, in physical and mental aspects. The tiredness and axiety have been more present than usual, so we've had to learn to survive feeling those things. This has exposed the need to be careful about mental problems, mostly because they can be more common than people think. That's why today more than ever we have to give mental health the import
