Hello there! 👋
My name is Sophia and I live/work in Sydney Australia as a Dog Behaviourist and Trainer and every week, I'll share 5 facts about me.
Here are this week's random facts:
1. I don't want kids. I thought I did right up till I was 23. Then I realized how much I don't like being around most of them...
2. I think I have a natural way with being around them and most kids seem to like being around me, but I'm very happy being an aunt and having kids that come in furry form, and that's more than enough for me.
3. A marriage counsellor once told me to 'sit on it' and 'it will change' when I told her I don't want kids. They also said and did some incredibly alarming things that greatly affected my mental health. They still operates a business in Randwick, but I've never reported them despite being encouraged by other health professionals to do so.
4. This particular counsellor used to also ask me for advice on their cat with urinary tract issues, during the duration in which I was paying her to help work through marital issues.
5. All said and done, I think everyone should have access to qualified mental health practitioners. Seeking professional help to talk about your feelings is a really healthy way of processing things and seeing growth in yourself. Some aren't good, but most are great. 😊
