Well first, you have to figure out what area of therapy you want to go into – psychotherapy, physical therapy, massage therapy, the list goes on.

Being a therapist involves the skill of sitting there being very bored but appearing to be interested. Oh, and acting like you somehow received the “book of life” and can tell others what they should/shouldn’t do in their own lives.

So basically, being a good friend and getting paid for it.
