High school is finally over!

I am about to finish my 2 years of Social Sciences at Montmorency College, and I am really excited about University. I need to choose where I am going to go and in which program. I’m hesitating between doing a PhD and a master, both in psychology. I went to visit many places and I’m unsure where I want to go to.

Choice 1 : Go to the University of Montreal for a Ph-D.

Choice 2 : Go to the University of Laval for a master.

The University of Montreal.

I am enjoying my experience here. I met new friends passionate about the human brain just like me. I am enjoying all of my courses and how my professors teach. I feel fulfilled by my program and my life. I just finish my doctorate and I don’t know if I want to take a break or pursuit my career.

Choice 1 : Volunteer in South America.

Choice 2 : Do an internship with a psychologist.

The University of Laval.

I realize on my first day that I chose this University principally because it’s the one closer to my home. The way most of my teachers explain don't help me understand, especially about cognitive psychology. Du to my important lack of motivation, I’m falling 3 of my courses. I can’t finish in time, so I have to decide what to do.

Choice 1 : Drop school.

Choice 2 : Take longer to finish my master.

Volunteer in South America.

I am taking a break before starting my career to find another purpose. The life of many people in Uruguay feels dead-end. I help children by fixing their school and it feels so good to in-depth my humanity. The moments here are invaluable and I don’t even think of the premium wadge would have made in an internship in my field.

Choice 1 : Start over

The internship with a psychologist.

I am the intern of Dr. John, and he helps me learn the ropes of my future career. I love having a foot in the door by observing his sessions. He asks me questions and I enjoy coming in handy without being overwhelm. This test drive of the job confirm I chose the right path. Dr. John asks me if I want to work for his bureau, but I always wanted to have my own.

Choice 1 : Opening my own psychologist's clinic.

Choice 2 : Accept a job in a bureau.

Drop school.

I went giving my curriculum vitae and got engaged at McDonald. My on-the-job-training went well. My boss told me the ins-and-out of the customer’s service. There is an important drawback, which is the wage. I have difficulties paying my apartment bills at the end of the month. I am just finish being a trainee and I’m already finding the job repetitive.

Choice 1 : Start over

The 1-year additional to finish my master.

After one session, I decide to become an assistant psychologist at school to help children with their anxiety. I finish my study and get engaged in a school for a dead-end job. I love working with students and I feel fulfill by work. My boss offers me an interesting promotion after 10 years, but I will need to move away in another city, far from my family.

Choice 1 : Accept the promotion to work at the Roche belle School

Choice 2 : Keep the job I have.

The psychologist's clinic.

I am so happy being my own boss and arranging my workplace according to my taste. I love the team of employee I chose to engage as the Human Resources. They are responsible for filling the vacant positions, taking into count the background check, the compensation package, etc. I make a good wadge, so I’m thinking of opening another clinic.

Choice 1 : Open a new clinic.

Choice 2 : Keep my business small.

The job in a bureau.

I have been working under Dr. John for ten years. I know he feels fulfill by my work because he asks me frequently to do overtime. Personally, I experience an important lack of motivation. In my head, my help is not as worthwhile as it was before. I have depressive thoughts every day and I need to do something about it.

Choice 1 : Take a medical leave.

Choice 2 : Working less day.

The new clinic.

It’s hard to manage all the teams of employee I engage to work at my other psychologist's bureau. I get inform that one of the assets as been theft. My anxiety kicks in. When I go there and talk to my personal, I realize how much corruption is ingrained in the system. My company goes bankrupt.

Choice 1 : Start over

Keep my business small.

I stay here for the rest of my career. My clients trust me, and I really see their behavior and mental health improve through the sessions. That’s making my heart full. I’m 65 years old, and I take my retirement with the money I set aside. I live happily ever after visiting my children’s and grandchildren.

Choice 1 : Start over

Take a medical leave.

I am about to finish my one month of medical leaves. I feel way better, and I am ready to come back to work. My boss offers me to come back and being accompanied by another psychologist during my sessions to start slowly. I don’t want to be infantilized, so I’m unsure if I should accept.

Choice 1 : Be assisted.

Choice 2 : Work alone.

Work less day.

The situation is worse than before. I have no motivation for doing anything and my self-esteem is at his lowest. I get diagnostic with a major depression and the medicament don’t work. One day, I slice my wrist open and end my life.

Choice 1 : Start over

Be assisted.

I am assisted by Dr. Midler, and he’s making me feel in control. He knows when to interrupt and helps me. He prevents me from having to diagnose burnouts or depression. He understands that it’s still a sensitive subject for me. After a month, I am ready to get back to normal.

Choice 1 : Start over

Work alone.

My first session back is with a patient I had before, but this time it’s different. He just got diagnostic with the borderline personality disorder. As soon as I start talking with him, I understand he’s in psychological distress. It’s unclear, but he seams to stipulate that he might hurt himself.

Choice 1 : Report it.

Choice 2 : Plan another session.

Report it.

I break my professional secret because I think he might be a danger for himself. The second I tell them; the police go to his home and find him unconscious. At the hospital, they see in his blood a significant dose of medication. I’m relieved that he’s safe now.

Choice 1 : Start over

Plan another session.

The session was supposed to be the day after, but it’s already too late. I get informed that my patient jumped down a bridge and that he is seriously injured. I have a panic attack when I hear the news. By impulsivity, I call Dr, John and tell him it’s my fault.

Choice 1 : Start over

The Roche belle School.

My colleagues throw me an after work party for my 20 years here. A guy approaches to come flirt with me. I deter him but he continues aggressively. I feel dread. The perpetrator brings me away and act with total misconduct. After that night, I explain the situation to my husband, and he proposes me two options.

Choice 1 : Change school.

Choice 2 : Report the sexual harassment to the school.

Keep the job I have.

I have worked here for 30 years. Through the years, I find harder, more often than not, to have a dead-end job. As an assistant, I always feel like the psychologists withhold information about students from me. They undermine my participation. I decide to quit 1 year before my retirement cause of the drive of work.

Choice 1 : Start over

Report the sexual harassment to the school.

The board report it to the police. My process is one week away. I am anxious, but glad that this situation won’t happen again. I am in a support group and it’s helping me a lot. I feel less alone, and I am slowly letting it go.

Choice 1 : Start over

Change school.

I am having trouble adapting myself to my new environment. When my colleagues try to get to know me, I push them away. During lunchtime, I cry alone in the bathroom. My psychological diagnostic diagnostic is a post-traumatic stress disorder from the sexual harassment. I quit my job from an undetermined period.
