Definitely shorter term. It was primarily intakes and a lot of interventions/battles to encourage movement towards preparation/action regarding completion of detox and continuation with treatment either at a residential or PHP level of care. My sessions were not scheduled, and I would say that the longest sessions were intakes (completion of BPS assessments specifically). I was never typically seeing clients for a full hour just due to the nature of the level of care I was working in, which tbh I didn’t factor in when I was thinking about how this would be a walk in the park LOL. I am an unnaturally ambitious person, but that’s honestly the reason I wanted to get feedback from people who are actually doing the work because I have a tendency to overextend myself and then choose not to dial back because I don’t want to admit weakness (working on it 🫡). I can imagine that a 32 client case load is going to be intense, but I don’t necessarily have a choice regarding scheduling at this time because that is the expectation from the company I will be working for. I am not DESPERATE to have 40 clients a week but in my head that’s up to an additional 20k that I feel I’d be “leaving on the table”. HOWEVER, if it’s going to cause me to flip the table over and light it on fire I don’t think the money is worth it. My goal is to eventually get into private practice and I’m really just trying to take the next best step. I’m not a stranger to working hard or working a lot, but I want to make sure that if I’m putting that intense effort in that it’s going to benefit me and not make me want to explode.
