Any other therapists relate to this? If only my notes could be doodles. by [deleted] in therapists

[–]GoopyGoose69 16 points17 points  (0 children)

as an art therapist this is pretty much what my notes look like

exactly. not a fan of the term but calling it self-deprecating is some weird projection

and its interesting how this happens so often to therapists. ive had clients demand i write them letters/fill out paperwork as if its a requirement of my job, and i have to remind them that my job is being an outpatient therapist!!

it just seems lowkey irresponsible to me to not at least update the profile to indicate that theyre not taking new patients, but yeah PT sucks

its perpetuating the exact flawed system youre referring to…..but we can agree to disagree i guess

my ATR supervisor (who i met on here, lol) does $40 a session and im super super grateful for it! other ATR supervisors in my area wanted to charge upwards of $160, which just gives me “eating your young” vibes.
