Chaya,19, knows exactly what she doesn’t want, but what in the world does she want?
“I
don’t know what I want to do, but I know exactly what I don’t want to do!” That’s how I started my first session with Shaina. I was sort of expecting a surprised or frustrated reaction, but all I got was, “That’s a great start, Chaya! Tell me everything that you don’t want to do.”
Okay, that’s easy. Ready?
I don’t want to teach.
I don’t want to be an accountant.
I don’t want to be a therapist — any kind of therapist.
I don’t want to go to college.
