Excellent point about research (which is where I would have ended up if the dreaded law school hadn't beckoned) versus clinical psych (for which I know I lack the patience on the treatment end of things).

...when you counsel, you learn that no, you can't make someone stop taking mental shortcuts, nor should you try; you just give them better shortcuts

And keep reinforcing that it's a process, not a blinding flash "cure" (per my clinical psychologist S.O.).
