Is it too late?
I'm 32 years old. I've toyed with the idea of going to school to become a therapist for a couple of years now but haven't taken any steps to do so. I think I'm now in a position where I could start schooling if I chose to at the University of Northern Iowa. However, I'm not exactly 'young' and I worry if it's too late in life for me to pursue this path.
To add I've been in therapy with a LISW for a couple of years now as well and the healing she's done for me has been life changing. Therapy is such sacred work and she's been a huge inspiration to me.
Are there any therapist willing to honestly weigh in whether this is worth pursing at 32 years old or if it's too late in the game for me?
Thank you in advance 🙏
