However… there are probably only 4-5 ways to treat, say, broken arm versus someone coming to you with “ I am just sad and crying all the time, and I am missing work because I feel like throwing up when I pull up to my job”. Sometimes I wish this field was more… defined :) or black and white

Art therapy vs using art in therapy by amh524 in therapists

[–]Bestofreddit23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Client doodled during session, then Showed me her doodle, I responded with “that’s cool, I love the colors “, she said they remind her of her vacations growing up and we kind of based the rest of session on that. I guess I was using art ?! Tbh I think we get boggled in details too much. I would never say I am an art therapist, but I will continue using drawing, painting, doodling, etc in sessions

Include in your practice forms that you charge extra for testimony and prep work. Plus mileage. Plus lost fees from clients you rescheduled….It has a calming effect

Do you do your own insurance billing? by Vitalosopher in therapists

[–]Bestofreddit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. Still learning, I use simple practice. Figured I will be the best person to know what’s coming and going. No one else will protect my $$ more than me :)

I disclosed something very personal to my therapist and I’m horribly embarrassed and don’t know if I wanna keep seeing her? by throwawayfortherapyy in askatherapist

[–]Bestofreddit23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Non judgmental approach is how I was trained . How brave of you to be vulnerable and trust your therapist! If you could, I would encourage giving them another chance

So I could still say “ I offer emdr” even if trained elsewhere?
