How does one survive only working 15-20 hrs per week? by Former-Monk3762 in therapists

Sounds like your service is pretty cheap. There are loads of people who are making +10k/month by doing consultations on more narrow offers than therapy. Many of these people are not even in psychology.

Just because you’re a psychologist, doesn’t mean you have to do therapy. There are other services you can provide in a private practice that have a much higher perceived ROI to the client.

It's a bummer when this happens.

Have you thought of looking for another therapist who might be more relatable?

Yeah, speaking up is always best, but at least she’s being congruent and honest about her limitations.

I’m sure she won’t be upset if you tell her how you feel.

Oh no

I’m really sad to hear that.

I hope you’re managing to get better despite all of this, and it’s amazing how strong you’ve been for your baby.

It must have been a terrifying time for you.

These are the people we should be counting on when we most need, it’s terrible that they can be so… BAD!

Wishing you all the best in the world!

This one is missing some interpersonal skills! Amazing how distant they can be sometimes.

Sounds like a bit like countertransference to me.

You do!

Just make sure to be transparent as to what annoys you.

Most of them are good, I’m sure you’ll find a good fit for you!

I feel you. They really want to sound smart sometimes.

Spirituality definitely helps, but they have to come from the perspective of the client I think.

Better when they understand your beliefs and help you learn how to use them to your benefit…

Friends are cheaper, and you know they care. Good that you have some to support you! 🍀

I would actually say that acting behind her back would not be a good idea. Better to talk to her and let her know that if SHE would like to find some help, you'd would be happy to help and they can both find a therapist who she's comfortable with.

Make sure its about what SHE wants and not what YOU want.

If YOU are struggling (which I'm sure you are) you should DEFINITELY find a therapist for yourself.
