What I've Learnt

I can't believe it has been so long since my last blog post! Time seems to have slipped away from me.

I have learnt a lot about myself over the last 10 months. I have started seeing clients on my placement at College and I feel I am finally begining to get somewhere. It took a while for my placement to get started and I was really worried that I was so behind compared to everyone else in the class. There were people who had done nearly half their required hours when I had done hardly any.

I got off to a shaky start and really doubted myself. Now things are going well. I mentioned my reservations to my supervisor. She said when she was traing she was one of the last to get going with placements. The other people who had done loads of hours ended up burning out and not finishing the course.

It is an important lesson, life is not a race. I am always comparing myself to others, I need to invest that time and energy into myself.
