Two consecutive evenings with clinical psychologists in a smaller discussion group intended for all those who are considering working in a clinic, are worried about it, are curious and want to learn more.

Not only for students who have heard a lot of information about the clinic and are confused, hesitant and do not know whether to start it.

​

Is it really terrible "in the clinic"?

What is the point of a supervisor?

Will they throw everyone out of certification?

Why work for so little money when I can open a counseling practice right after school, do the same work and earn much more?

And how much do they actually work in the clinic?

And what did you not see during the mandatory practices because you came at 9 and went home at 12 and what happened when you heard "I can't take you here, read the test manuals".

And how does this all relate to psychotherapy and is it necessary or useful to be a clinician to work as a psychotherapist?

We welcome everyone who wants to know why no one takes patients "on the insurance company", what all this "on the insurance company" means and whether you can be on the insurance company too. Is it all just an annoying path that keeps me from psychotherapy and helping people, or will I learn something useful from it.

Both evenings will be accompanied by clinical psychologists who are no longer living their idealized dream, but are not drowning in the disillusionment that can accompany the beginnings in the clinic. After years, they have a certain distance, they did not run away from the clinic and are still doing it full-time.
