    Well a therapist isn’t going to fix any of that. They only work on you and what you can do yourself.

    I imagine if I brought those problems to my therapist, we would probably start by naming the good and bad of each option (stay in school or drop out), try to identify what I’m feeling and thinking about them, talk it over and help me come to a real solid decision (choice) about what path I want to take. If I chose to stay and tough it out we would probably work on strategies to help me accomplish that and cope with the challenges. We might discuss whether I need to allow myself some accommodations, for example withdrawing from some classes and taking more time to finish school. If I decided to leave school then we would probably need to process that decision and do some work around the grief and acceptance that would have to come with that choice.
