By way of introduction, I am XX, an Xx-year-old young and ambitious individual with interests in mental health studies and psychoanalysis in particular. I am applying for the Master’s Program at BGSP Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis. My interest in pursuing this course stems from my negative life experiences throughout my life. I want to pursue a Master’s in Psychoanalysis, seeing that I have been in individual and group therapy for fourteen years. Growing up, I did not buy into the idea of therapy. This changed when I had an accident and had to go through life-changing surgery. After the incident, my parents thought it would be good if I talked to a professional. Although it took time, the therapy played a significant role in my recovery. After seeing how much therapy helped me deal with the trauma of the accident, I became drawn to the field. Therapy helped me accept my scars and helped me heal from the emotional damage that I was going through. I was embarrassed by the scars that I acquired from the accident, but now I wear them proudly; they are reminders of my triumph. Specifically, I want to pursue a Master’s in psychoanalysis because I would like to contribute to positive change in society by helping other people deal with issues that they go through.

Besides going through therapy for many years, I have worked as an assistant at a wellness Centre near me. I had volunteered for the position as I wanted to acquire first-hand experience in Psychoanalysis. The wellness center deals with recovering drug addicts. I gained relevant skills that prepared me for advanced studies in this field during my time there. I mastered skills that include empathy, patience, being non-judgmental, and coping with emotional situations. Enrolling in a course in Psychoanalysis is the perfect way to put my skills to use. Because I have related to individuals in need of the treatment, I will be better placed to relate to the studies and research in the course. Upon completing and graduating from the course, I intend to start my private practice and provide psychoanalysis services to people who need it the most.
