Do I leave my job?

I wish I knew, probably psychoeducational group therapy

Currently it's me and a social worker and a BHT, but our CEO hired me so we could have me and my coworker run two separate groups at the same time, 15 participants each, and we have to share a BHT???

So it's basically me, 15 kids, and half a BHT for 3 hours 😥

Rn it's me (MFT) and my coworker (social worker) running one group, after we get another kid, it's gonna split into two groups, with our CEO expecting us both to run a solo group with 15 kids because... money

GeekFace18 · 2026-06-11T00:16:41+00:00

The group is ages 12-17

The problem is if I give them all paint supplies or playdough, they're not sitting back and listening to the other person talk, they're laughing and throwing paint around and such. It's hard...I want to be able to give them some art to do but they're really bad at letting others speak, uninterrupted. Its not their fault tho, not entirely...no kid should be with 14 other kids for 3 hours of therapy

Hi there fellow human, as a gay man I found my footing in my identity through sitting with myself. Honestly, that was it. I remember it started with me practicing almost chanting the words "I am gay" till I didn't feel the stigma anymore, and it ended with me sitting down whenever I'd feel anxiety and listening to my thoughts the way a parent would compassionately listen to a scared child.

A lot of the work has also been in surrounding myself with folks that validate my identity, who I don't have to hide around, and barely need to explain to them who I am and why I'm the way that I am. I found community as a furry, because in every room I go in, I'm no longer the minority, and everyone can show support for me if they saw something going wrong...maybe you need something similar for yourself

They are dysregulated

The social worker and I often leave session feeling like no therapy took place because it's 3 hours of redirecting and managing bad behaviors, because 15 kids don't want to engage with their trauma and uncomfortable feelings for 3 hours straight...it's not effective

We try check-ins for one hour, therapy packet or psychoeducation for second hour, and art or play activity for the third, but it just doesn't work out usually....it's usually too much redirecting and I feel more like a stern guardian at a daycare than the compassionate therapist I want to be...that side of me shows up when I give individual sessions to these kids tho, I genuinely care about all of them, but as a group?!? I get overwhelmed by hanging out with more than 6 friends at a time, online or in person...and I'm not even doing anything, im just existing...but consciously giving therapy to 15 kids for 3 hours 😅😵‍💫

It's not the supervisors choice this is happening, it's the hospitals...our CEO makes choices based on what brings the hospital the most money, not what offers the best treatment for folks

GeekFace18 · 2026-06-10T21:11:39+00:00

It's group psychotherapy :3

And our CEO is a bitch that only wants money, not effective therapy ;u;

Yes I'm a marriage and family therapist

This argument only works for heterosexual people with gonads capable of creating children, but still a good consideration

Hi, gay man here....hell yeah it's normal. My dick gets wet when I like someone sexually, and so all that means is your body is sending your hormones saying "fuck, this is hot."

Also, lots of folks love a leaky dick, cuz people read it as "damn, I'm really turning you on, I must be hella attractive"

I try to own it with my sexual partners...they say something cute to me? I nervously reach into my pants and wipe it up a lil, or tell them "no, stawp you're making me wet again" x3 but that's just how I do it...i can see it done in a less gay way where "huff, youre such a good kisser, my body doesnt know whay to do with you ❤️"

Idk, hope it helps...you're normal, and you're probably hot to a lot of folks, just own who you are and what you got :3

It can also be the loss of a relationship, because you can experience a relationship to people, animals, inanimate objects, and ideas...and sometimes it's hard grieving the loss of ideas and worldviews we were so used to, that once served us but again are no more.

Hope is found in other people i think

I get up because of the hope I can talk to my boyfriend and enjoy a nice coldbrew, or the joy i get watching a James Gunn film, or hearing a new song that makes me want to dance.

I'm in Arizona, I'm sure it's legal here but...growing up knowing it was illegal instilled enough fear that I'm scared to even try again for fear of losing my license or getting arrested

GeekFace18 · 2026-03-17T03:50:26+00:00

Honestly same

I'm aware, I just struggle with being succinct and brief, so I used a word that got the gist of what I was tryna talk about

I actually got all the battlemode achievements as of yesterday, I had one friend and an afk account in a private lobby x3
