[QUOTE="Jane Smith, post: 87905, member: 7481"] So you have completed the LPC alrady but do not start at the law firm until next year. It may be that you are feeling better by next year. Would it not be better not to "burn your boats" now by withdrawing from the TC and seeing if you feel more like it next year as it is quite an opportunity you are turning down. Also with a training contract it is quite hard to sack trainees compared with other jobs so you might even find there is less stress than any other job you might take and paying back £20k might be more stressful than not doing the TC. Even if you never intend to practice or want to take 10 years off if you could just keep do the TC from next year that might ultimately be better. My siblings work in mental health (psychiatrist and one a clinical psychologist) not that that makes me an expert, but all jobs are stressful including my older son's who drives a van for a living so may be your answer is to start the TC next year and spend the time until then relaxing, taking some therapy and just seeing how you feel by next year?
