A rewarding job

I was a trauma psychologist for forty years. I do not really

know why I chose to go down this path, I never imagined

doing this when I was kid. I studied in my hometown and

until I was eighteen and graduated. The obvious choice was

to study in Uppsala so I moved there. I had no clue what I was

going to study so it just became phycology. It was a great

choice and I am glad that i made it. I studied for five years and

graduated from the university of Uppsala. Fortunately I got a

job directly after school and I got appointed of working with

people that had been through traumas. Most of my patients

had bad experiences from wars and they were really

traumatized and often needed to have several sessions with me

and you could not really see any positive results until the last

sessions. You can not really call it a fun job but it was very

interesting and rewarding. The best thing was to see my

patients starting to feel better and better and at last they were

happy and could live their lives without thinking about their traumas all the time. Now I have been

retired for a while but I will always be glad that i chose this profession.
