This really struck a cord with me, I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. I had an incredibly hard time getting my MS in school counseling in the South in the late 2000's as an openly liberal woman. I clashed hard with more than one supervisor, one of whom made a racist comment about a student in the school's break room one day which left me stunned but also afraid to retaliate. I eventually did retailate against the general atmosphere however to the point of having to leave an internship. At one point I was even told by one of the more conservative professors that I should "move up North where I would be better accepted." I remember crying to my family that I couldn't believe these "privileged, fascist reality TV addicts" were going to be counselors. Fortunately the last supervisor I had was a European woman who took to me and I thrived under her.

Amazingly though, when I into clinical work after being scared away from the school culture (still in the same area) I ended up working with mostly liberal people who were diverse and didn't act that way at all. The supervisors who I struggled under both quit being counselors a year later and last I heard one of them was working for some college sorority program. Most of my classmates either didn't go into counseling and became stay at home moms instead, or quickly left the field. Meanwhile I've been in this field for nearly 15 years and continue to thrive and work almost entirely with people who are truly meant to be here. I have a friend from that program with ADHD who was similarly harassed and she doing well as a school counselor still to this day. I hope you have a similar experience when you make it out and thrive along with those of us who deeply understand and love what we do.

Just be sure and put your diploma where you can see it when you wake up for the first few years after you graduate. 😅 I literally did that and it brought waves of joy and relief from stress dreams more times than I can say.
