| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners. Today, I thought I would answer some of your emails. Anonymous |
| 0:04.9 | patron wrote in and they said, Hey, Dr. Kirk, what are your thoughts on being a sex worker |
| 0:10.2 | or making porn before becoming a therapist? I have tried to come up with solid cons that |
| 0:16.8 | might throw a wrench in my future as a therapist, but I do want to hear from a well-season therapist |
| 0:22.8 | and supervisor such as yourself and of email. Well, the first thing I'll say is there's |
| 0:29.3 | absolutely nothing wrong, obviously, with having been in sex work or in making pornography |
| 0:36.9 | content and then later becoming a therapist. In fact, you might have learned a lot of skills |
| 0:42.8 | from that previous profession that translates and help you as a therapist like being a good listener |
| 0:50.2 | or accepting sexual variety. Every therapist has a life before they were a therapist and all have |
| 0:57.8 | pros and cons. For example, some therapists go directly from their bachelor's degree directly |

| 1:26.1 | dissatisfied with entry-level work in the field. Those are some pros and a con, though, is that |
| 1:35.3 | you don't have very much life experience under your belt. When you are in class talking about |
| 1:41.8 | relationships or parenting or early developments or something, it could be a con. I would experience |
| 1:49.8 | that as a professor. Most of the students in my program were in their 30s, 40s. There were students |
| 1:58.5 | in their 20s for sure, but Antioch University markets itself toward continuing learners towards |
| 2:06.4 | adult learners, people who are maybe on their second third career kind of a thing. Most of my |
| 2:13.3 | students weren't like that, meaning that they had a lot of life experience and it did help them. |
| 2:19.0 | They could call upon their own experience to help them in understanding other humans. A big part |
| 2:25.3 | of empathy is actually going through life and experiencing a lot of things yourself such that when |
