Today we role played again in class. We had to pair up with a partner and took turns playing a therapist and a patient. This time the scenario was that we would experience a suicidal client during our intake. As a therapist, I did horribly. I got stuck and asked horribly, stupid questions that probably would have made the client go...WTF...in real life. Thank God this was a fake situation, because if it was the real thing, my client would probably already be dead on the floor during my intake. That's how horrible I am.
On the other hand, as an actor playing the client, (I don't mean to brag) I was amazing. I played a depressed girl who caught her boyfriend of 5 years cheating on her. Man, I almost had tears falling down my face as I described how I caught my boyfriend cheating on me. So I have decided that if I utterly fail as a psychologist, I have a back-up plan: to become an actress.
