Can one become a psychologist after overcoming social phobia?

Just curious. I’ve read that people who have had social phobia are predisposed to having there anxious symptoms arise once again later in life.

Social anxiety disorders do tend to be lifelong problems (a family member has one), but they can be re-addressed any time they become a problem again.

I see no reason you would not want to practice psychology due to a social phobia. You might even have particularly keen insight into certain kinds of problems.
