    I was super into psychology for a time. Even got my degree in it. But living with my mom and being her ‘therapist’ killed psychology for me. Any particular element of psychology you enjoy?

      Not necessarily enjoy but a lot of useful stuff. I grew up in a rather peculiar situation so it was never fun and no degree.

      Particular helpful things for me were clinical psychology such as transactional analysis, knowing about mental disorders and understanding the diagnostic process.

      Dont get me wrong: its very interesting and I really enjoy learning about it. Just a lot of bad memories attached to it.
