You are not actually a psychologist. (Phd?)


You wake up as your alarm sounds and immediately begin to think about all the people around yourself. You have a wife or husband next to you, kids down the hall or downstairs, a dog, a cat, maybe. You may be single with a digital presence, you may be in a n.s.a. relationship. It makes sense that you start to think about the cherished goals and wet dreams of the people closest to you. It makes sense…

You may be a ceo or an engineer. You may be a student at a university or an academic. You probably have people to think about, maybe. It just makes sense that you begin to believe you are a psychologist. I mean, after all, how are you going to get what you want without going online to learn how to manipulate your closest friends, hated rivals, and loved ones! “Good grief, Charlie Brown,” you think as you pull away a token.

You probably learned it from Netflix or some shit like that, you know, you see it around you and all and you think it makes sense because it does, it does. I get it. You are free to attempt to be a psychologist, but just remember: You are not actually a psychologist. You are not a true psychologist unless you have a Phd in an academic offshoot of the psychology field.

Clearly, it is illegal to practice psychology without a license. To be a psychologist, you must be licensed in addition to having a Phd, and then people have to actually trust you to know you can successfully carry out your role as a psychologist. Remember, you are not actually a psychologist. (Which you must already know, or else you need to see one. )
