The client is a recent graduate in their mid 20's who just completed their bachelor's degree in the medical field. Their parents, both successful doctors, have always envisioned him following in their footsteps and pursuing a career in medicine. Despite excelling academically, they has never felt a strong passion for medicine. They have always been more drawn to the natural world and has a deep interest in environmental science. The client understand the prestige and stability that a career in medical could offer but it clearly conflicts with the kind of work he would like to do. He joined the medical school because his parents were adamant about it but he did not enjoy it and has no passion. The client feels overwhelmed by the pressure and is experiencing significant anxiety about making such a monumental decision that will shape his future.
