This is a great time for psychology in the Philippines.

Sometimes you will still hear people ask the question, “So psychologist ka, nababasa mo ba iniisip ko?”

Nonetheless, I notice my countrymen also becoming more open and curious to what psychology is really about: “Makakatulong po ba kayo sa stress ko?”, “Iniisip ko po minsan kung nade-depress po ako… kailangan ko na po bang magpatingin?”

Therefore, psychology is young in the Philippines, but it is growing and, more importantly, people of all social classes are becoming more open to what it could be.

This is just a brief post about my thoughts on psychology in the Philippines as of January 2020.
