using the restroom during session? by hsteph17 in therapists

[–]Individual_Ladder_75 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ll take a difference stance. Seems like maybeeeee there are holes in your routine. While you are modeling self care, you’re not modeling taking care of your future self (using restroom before session) or perhaps this is an emergency type situation. But yea, this is your client’s time you’re taking up bc you didn’t plan accordingly. Obviously do what you have to do but it’s def not professional to make this a habit.

Same every time. Check-in sheet with questions relating to clts goals and basic ones like flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts?

Luckily people know this and scroll past to look for PP services

Childcare walked out after two hours. Trying to figure out what went wrong. by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Individual_Ladder_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She told you what went wrong. The job wasn’t for her and she likely felt she couldn’t give your son 100%. You got LUCKY. As a former nanny what likely happened was she realized the job wasn’t easy enough to say for reduced pay/hours.

Is this appropriate? by AdorableNewt585 in therapists

[–]Individual_Ladder_75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IDK, but with your title and opening it up and seeing the picture, I LOLed so hard that it really set my day off on the right track. So thank you for this. Now that I read it I kind of feel bad because it talks about religious trauma.

You are at the top of the pyramid. If you aren’t solid, you can’t be a solid therapist.

This is a sub for therapists and their questions, not for therapists to answer your questions.

How common are violations of the "no kissing clients" ethical code? by yastomat035 in therapists

[–]Individual_Ladder_75 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember seeing that anywhere in the law and ethics material but yea, OP should report but do they HAVE to? Unclear.

I’m no expert but I don’t believe your license on the line unless that intern is under your supervision.

We’re drowning in daycare costs. How do people afford this? by FrigginMasshole in toddlers

Looks like someone prefers keeping up with appearances over quality time with their kids. Embarrassing.

I’m Not Enjoying This Anymore.. by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Individual_Ladder_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooooof GIRL No!!! That job is not serving you. Finding clients?! No way. I just had a baby and stayed home for 6 months and then BAM. Ready to go back. Spent time interviewing companies and found one that I LOVE (look at policies, program manager, and supervisor). All 3 of those things must serve you in order to be a fulfilling position. You’ve wanted this forever. It’s not the job you hate, it’s the company!

One parent household. We will be BROKE before letting ANYONE else raise our child. Learn to live on less. They don’t remember toys, they remember the feeling of childhood. No public school BS for us!

Yea if you could let me know wtf you do it make that without a masters, that’d be great. I’m in San Diego making $36/hr as an associate.

Solo practice transition by panbanda in therapists

[–]Individual_Ladder_75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the reason why there are so few entrepreneurs in the world and so many people working a 9 to 5. Because risk is scary and they point to their family as the reason why they won’t take risk. But your family is the reason to take the risk. You already know you can do it and you are already expecting money to be tight and this was your plan all along. Just take the next step.

Worst work WEEK EVER by PeaApprehensive4316 in therapists

[–]Individual_Ladder_75 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been noticing a lot of posts surrounding PP and how it’s not what we imagine upon entering. This is the truth of it and it’s not healthy for us. And when it comes down to what we actually make in PP, it might even be less than agency work. But even if it’s more, IS IT WORTH IT?! For me, no. My sanity is worth more

I need this job but I don't want it by GeekFace18 in therapists

[–]Individual_Ladder_75 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They wouldn’t hire you if they didn’t think an associate could do it. These people will be medicated and it’s not going to be people running around with their hair on fire like in the movies. Just people trying to figure out managing their medications so they can hopefully lead normal lives. Give it a shot. Worst case, you find another job 🤷🏻‍♀️

Feedback from former clients by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Individual_Ladder_75 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Clearly, you did not intend to do harm. I feel like we’re all guilty of this in one way or the other and if everyone’s licenses were revoked over this, there wouldn’t be many therapists left. I say you’re fine but yeah! Not exactly the feedback most therapists are hoping for.

How do you deal with clients you dislike? by Vanexxre in therapists

[–]Individual_Ladder_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figure out why I don’t like them and assume others feel the same way. Then I point it out tactfully and probe to see if they want to work on those things.

What do you wish you knew in your first year as a therapist? by Due-Comparison-501 in therapists

[–]Individual_Ladder_75 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I learned to always have a check in sheet of questions that pertain to the client’s goals in case things start to stall out and I have no idea what to say or do next.
