oh, I'm so impressed that you do both law and psych! I hope you find the kind of internship you're looking for.
I like your ideas about trying to get prepared knowledge-wise. it kind of is the only thing you can really do to feel better before you jump into a new role. My mum works with kids and I've been asking her to tell me all about the conversations she has with them so I can try to learn how best to talk to them. in theory, I was supposed to start figuring out my placement after finishing (only!!) 3 units of the cert IV. But with lockdown postponing placements for god knows how long I'm trying to finish as many units as I can haha, I want to know everything before I go.
it's really hard to contemplate letting anyone down... I still think about a couple of complaints I received back when I was a tutor. I even think back guiltily to some of the kids who really liked me and whose parents sent me kind emails, thinking stuff like 'I let them down when I left the company' and 'I didn't deserve that praise, I should have done more for them' and 'I feel bad for the kids who had to get tutored by someone like me' ...
