my body keeps the score
Starting from the second semester of my Master’s degree, I seeked help to the university’s counselling office. I remember feeling I wasn’t as smart as my classmates, and I was taking four different courses in only nine credits, which led me to drown in multiple paper discussions, projects, and homeworks… in addition to working on my thesis. So I signed up (it’s also free!) and was paired with a young psychologist who had me filled out self-assessment forms every time we begin a new session.
