When they asked me what I wanted to be when I was in kindergarten, I answered that I was a psychologist. Then, of course, even more because my mom is also a psychologist and a role model for me. I've come a long way since then, and I didn't always think I'd become a psychologist. However, during my career choice, I had to realize that not only do I like being around children, but I also understand them well, they feel safe with me and are happy to open up. At the same time, I am motivated by understanding their personality, finding the key to their unique functioning, and the energy, openness, playfulness, and spontaneity that they carry. This is how I became aware of the decision: I want to become a child psychologist, so that while I can find the right tool, method, approach, and bridge for young children and adolescents, I can create a bridge towards their parents, peers, teachers, or even themselves.

Introduction

I obtained my diploma in psychology in 2009 at Eötvös Loránd University Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology, majoring in Developmental Psychology and Counseling. At that time, I had been working in a foundation school for 2 years, where I dealt with high school students with ADHD, behavioral disorders, and learning disabilities. In the group sessions, I worked with relaxation, meditation, and drama games. I then continued my studies at the Integrative Child Therapy course, where I was closest to play therapy, drawing examination, art therapy, child hypnosis, and katatim imagination therapy. I took my mandatory self-knowledge in psychodrama (250 hours), which I continued as method-specific training, and became a psychodrama assistant. In the meantime, I changed my field of work and worked in different cities of Pest county at the Pedagogical Service (Dunaharaszti, Kerepes, Kistarcsa, Érd). My duties included determining or ruling out integration-learning-behavior (BTMN) disorder with related tests, and initiating further tests, as well as determining the level of development necessary for the child to enter school, holding parent consultations, and conducting individual and group therapies. In the meantime, I took part in the clinical and mental health psychologist training at the University of Pécs and became a child and youth clinical psychologist (in 2015). Since then, I put my studies on the back burner due to the birth of my children, and now I will start again in the period of compulsory further education. Symbol therapy, art therapy, and music therapy are at the forefront of my plans, the elements and tools of which I am already partially using.
