Soothing old patterns

I am experiencing some ambiguity. I might be able to graduate this year, or I might not. It's still possible, probable even, but not guaranteed.

What I'm doing is trusting the process. Getting on with my work, and knowing that I either graduate, or have a fairly easy time of it next year. If I need to resit, I can take time to narrow my offering down to a niche, get a head start on marketing, etc. If not, I do all of that in the summer anyway.

Managing your feelings can feel like talking to a child, explaining that you can have these big feelings, it totally makes sense, but we're not going to be able to do what you want here.

The reason it's so uncertain is that I need to get client hours done, and that depends on clients. Some of my clients have been ill and not been able to continue with the process, some haven't had the time to commit when they get to the top of the wait list. All of this back and forth takes time, and I'm limited to four clients at any one time, so there are times like now, where I'm only having one client session a week, while I'm in between things.
