This is kind of quite a personal one for me, really, because I remember I was such a shy child, right? Really? I read a lot. It was mostly because I was the shy, quiet one in the corner. Nobody would ever have dreamt that I would do stuff like this, including me.

And I even remember when I got to clinical training and I'm sat in a room with someone and I'm being assessed, doing an assessment of that person. That's horrible. And I remember thinking in that moment... why? Why have I chosen this career? I hate talking to people. I hate being looked at by other people. And here I am doing both at the same time.

And in all honesty, I had to keep doing it because I felt that I had to practice what I preach about how if you struggle with being around people or talking to people or public speaking or whatever it is, you have to spend time doing it. If you want your confidence to grow, you have to be able to go where you have none and to be able to sit there for a
