Hi Reddit. I am currently a year out from graduating from TCM school studying acupuncture and Chinese herbalism. I am deep into my clinical hours and studies and I do really love it. However I am at a point in my journey where I feel like I don’t know anything. The cyclical interconnectedness is feeling more confusing than ever. I feel like my diagnosis skills in clinic are lacking and I am trying to allow frustration for my personal growth and learning but I am also becoming discouraged about my knowledge, training and skills. Real world people hardly ever match the diagnostic patterns we learn. Some days are better than others but when I’m faced with a super complicated clinical case is when I can recognize my weaknesses. Did anyone feel this way at some point in school? What are some resources or tools that helped you feel more confident ? Any suggestions on how to approach super complicated cases ? Is it a good thing I am feeling this way? I want to be good at what I do for a living so I put a lot of pressure on myself. Thanks for your input!
