The focus: Former students provide information about psychotherapy

Former students recently had the opportunity to inform their professional careers at the “Day of the High School” at the Federal Gymnasium and Bundesrealgymnasium Waidhofen. The event offered a platform for the students to learn more about different professional fields and to ask the contacts directly. Among the lecturers was the psychotherapist Andrea Frank, who works in the Waidhofen State Clinic.

The event gave the students an insight into the different options that are open to them after graduation. Andrea Frank told her everyday life as a psychotherapist in detail, gave insights into the necessary training and also explained the various professional focuses in the field of psychology, in particular clinical health psychology and specialist training for psychiatry and psychotherapeutic medicine.

an exchange about everyday professional life

The interested students were active and asked numerous questions about the topics of training, professional experience and the challenges in psychotherapeutic work. Andrea Frank explained that the training as a psychotherapist was demanding and contains both theoretical and practical elements. It is particularly important to work empathically with the patients and to support them in difficult life situations.

That day there were also other specialists who reported on their professions. This exchange was crucial for many of the students present to get an idea of which professional paths are possible after the completion of the high school. The "High School Day" could therefore be considered an important step for the students in order to gain realistic insights into the professional world and possibly discover their own interests.

This event illustrates the important role of educational institutions in professional information and how such events can help prepare the students for the future. The enthusiasm and interest of the students in the various job profiles are a sustainable sign that the idea of their own professional career should be discussed at an early stage.
