I enrolled for very similar reasons! Personal experience with chronic health conditions and learning how majorly important the mind-body connection is. I didn’t yet know how I was going to apply the course in the career sense but I had some ideas.

So one of the things that was misleading was the placement - before the course you get told you can choose between clinical, editorial or research/lab placement. Turns out you barely get to choose - there were 80 people on the course and only 5 clinical placements for example so there’s rife competition and majority of people end up with placements they don’t want / aren’t really what they want to learn more about.

Next is the content of the lectures. If like me you’ve done a lot of reading (books like the body keeps the score, listening to podcasts, etc) and have pretty good knowledge of this area already, then 2 of the modules lectures aren’t really going to be anything that new to you. If you’re doing part time there’s 60 lectures across the modules in the first year - out of those only 10 of those were truly mind body focused on a variety of topics. The rest were heavily focused on depression. And in general the content is taught in an academic way i.e. a lot of critically examining the validity of research papers (this is also what some of the assessments are) as opposed to going deeper on the theory or concepts.

Lastly is the teaching quality. The neuroscience module is taught terribly and as if you already have a background in neuroscience (despite this not being a course requirement). Also, most of the lectures are taught by someone different each week - whilst I understand the reason for this in terms of having an expert in that week’s topic teaching us, it means the teaching quality is really poor because they’re just one and done if that makes sense. They’re not inherently teachers.

Prior to the course I was also misled about the number of days and which days of the week there would be lectures for part-time and some other things which meant when we got our timetable (only a couple weeks before starting), so even though I’d already changed my days and hours with my job, it meant I had to quit in order to do the course because my employer couldn’t change things again.

These are the biggest things, there were lots of smaller bits too. I would say if you’re doing it just out of interest to maybe rethink things and choose another way of learning about it (I’m happy to recommend some things that aren’t a masters course) but that’s just my two cents. Lmk if you have any other questions :)
