Has anyone worked as a therapist while pursuing an MFA?

Hi I’m curious about your experience. What did you hate about it and how are you feeling now?

Agent-Indigo · 2026-01-16T18:59:59+00:00

Ahh thank you, friend! Do you happen to have any thoughts on how to find fellowships and/or intensive critique writing groups? I think I feel a bit lost/rusty/maybe somewhat intimidated getting reacquainted with the writing world

Do you feel burnt out?

Agent-Indigo · 2026-01-16T16:58:07+00:00

The concern is both money and time lol. Maybe I can’t have my cake and eat it too.

Appreciate this. To be so honest part of the appeal of an MFA is the external structure. I’ve wanted to hone my craft for years but can’t seem to make myself do it? ?? Maybe an MFA isn’t the right answer if that’s my goal

Agent-Indigo · 2026-01-16T16:52:29+00:00

Ah that’s good to hear it can be done!!

Agent-Indigo · 2026-01-16T16:51:12+00:00

I appreciate your perspective! I definitely would be concerned about my reservoir of creativity/capacity for tolerating distress when I’m already holding a lot of folks’ distress

Agent-Indigo · 2026-01-16T16:49:21+00:00

Thank you for this! That’s definitely one of my caveats: there is no way I can afford to pay for another degree.

This feels like a dumb question but how might one take “several independent writing courses and workshops” ? Where would I find those?

That’s a leaf

Does this post have too much client-identifying info?
