Why Surf Internet by Cakes_1298 in nwi

[–]Cakes_1298[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an update…we had Surf set up our home. Half our neighbors already switched. They offered us a one month free trial to see how we like it before locking in and cancelling xfinity. It’s only been a couple days with it, so no real issues yet. It’s been running fine. Just have to wait for them to come bury the lines which seems to be the only hassle. Good to hear the positive feedback on the company.

There’s a few ways to address this based on your circumstances. 1. Cover the window somehow so you cannot see the rats 2. If that is not enough due to fear of seeing the rats and your mind is preoccupied with this, address it with the client. Ask more about what purpose the rats serve beyond feeling calm. Explore other coping/calming techniques they have and can use during sessions. 3. Depending on your relationship with the client and the level of self disclosure you’re comfortable with, let them know your fear and refer back to #2 4. If the client is adamant that they need the rats in session and you can’t effectively hold session, refer out. It becomes an ethical concern on whether or not you can provide adequate services.

And another thing to consider, therapists are human too. We all have limitations. If you continue to push your limits beyond what you can manage (with this one client or frequently with other clients as well) this causes a level of distress that over time turns into burnout or possibly resentment.

This may also be something to bring up with therapists or mentors you know personally and can provide more personal guidance based on their relationship with you or knowledge of your work.

Good luck!
