That is a great question! Do I have what it takes to write an effective literature review? The answer to that would be a yes and a no. Some of the strengths that I have noticed about myself is that I love to read and learn about topics that interest me which are mostly on mental health. I am still currently finding it difficult to select a topic and narrow it down due to having many interests. I find myself panicking with trying to figure out the best topic to select and attempting to find information on the topic.
During the process of the literature review I tend to get really stressed out. I always want my papers to be “good enough” to turn in. I am currently debating on a topic related to either PTSD in Veterans or trauma related to the dissociative identity disorder. I know these topics are very broad and am attempting to figure out how to narrow it down. I hope I can get some feedback or ideas from my peers and my professor to help me with this decision.
Literature reviews overall for me are very challenging but once I have my final paper, I know I will feel proud of my work. Let’s see how this literature review goes. I will definitely be bothering my professor with asking for as much help and feedback as possible. Let the challenge begin!
