Any decent psychologist will tell you that the cliché that “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is completely untrue. But many people suffer trauma, either physically or psychologically, that has long-lasting effects. Because they’re trapped in this distress they need assistance from people who have a psychology degree to help them out of their pain.
A degree in psychology aims to give you the best possible knowledge to assist and help different people who have experienced the bad side of life. This can be in many different forms so your training for counselling will be broad enough to help different people.
The people you will help can often be at their wit’s end and they might find it difficult to cope with even the daily aspects of life. By giving them insight into their problem and guiding them through the various steps of recovery the difference you’ll make in their life can often be remarkable.
Psychology jobs can range from helping someone through a traumatic divorce, the post-traumatic stress of losing a loved one, being involved in a car accident and many other problems (with varying degrees of severity) that people have. It really cannot be stressed enough that that changes you’ll be able to make in their lives will often allow them to function in daily life – where otherwise they would be completely impaired.
