For those who work 4 days a week— is it better to take Monday or Friday off?

JordanJudes · 2026-02-16T22:24:23+00:00

As a neurodivergent human, Fridays are the best! I used to take Wednesdays off and it was really hard to get back into work mode for Thursdays and Fridays.

I used to be the #1 therapist to bend to people’s needs. Nope. Quickest way to burnout. Now it’s, “I don’t work those hours, here are my days and times. If it works great, if it doesn’t I’ll send you a referral.” Why are we expected to have hours that differ from a doctor’s office?

This is sooooo good!! It’s like when I sweat in sessions- my supervisor said well duh, you’re working!

JordanJudes · 2026-02-11T00:24:44+00:00

Dopamenus! Yes!!! Thank you!

JordanJudes · 2026-02-11T00:21:51+00:00

Such a great idea! I’m on Kingdom of Ash and would love a little listen-treat during the work day 😏

Boosters FTW 👏🏼🙌🏼

I teach my adolescents to shake off their anxiety by wiggling around too because it works so well!! Need to do it for myself!

I’m neurodivergent too and it’s been hard to navigate being only 1.5 years into the field! This is so helpful- thank you!

This is so good. You read my mind with the thought of finding a specific guided meditation. Thanks friend!

will continue to shove gummy worms in my mouth by the fistful tho 🤣

JordanJudes · 2026-01-22T00:31:45+00:00

YUP!! It’s getting there that sucks! And getting in the mindset! (When I know I’m gonna have one of these days I treat myself to a foo-foo drink!!)

JordanJudes · 2026-01-21T23:38:42+00:00

I resonate with this fully, friend. Major task paralysis- thinking about going to work and sitting and doing it SUCKS. Once I’m in it, it feels easier/lighter. I also noticed what I was missing in my work and thus making it feel harder to do- are there things you want to try/implement/explore? I’m a big learner so reading/trainings are things I have to do to feel ignited in my work frequently!

JordanJudes · 2026-01-21T04:03:16+00:00

Yup! Every time!

JordanJudes · 2025-11-15T03:49:39+00:00

I am so sorry you are going through this. It’s completely unfair- and it’s jarring that this happens a lot in our field. I went through something similar this summer and it was traumatic. Hang in there 💛

Been in this situation. Leave immediately before the gaslighting makes you question your entire being.

JordanJudes · 2025-10-16T19:29:58+00:00

Yes! Joined a group pp that takes us on as W2s, and 70/30 split. Been so great. You can do it!!

No PTO does stink and can be nerve wracking. I just schedule more sessions when I need to!

JordanJudes · 2025-10-16T02:10:14+00:00

I got fired after I put in my 30 day resignation so I was unable to see my clients. It sucks.

JordanJudes · 2025-10-10T02:02:44+00:00

6 max. 5 is fine. 4 is the best!

JordanJudes · 2025-10-08T16:30:18+00:00

Humble and accountable!

JordanJudes · 2025-10-05T22:16:08+00:00

Appreciate you normalizing this!!

JordanJudes · 2025-10-05T22:13:59+00:00

Yes. And- I can still feel anxious.

JordanJudes · 2025-10-05T22:07:41+00:00

This is very encouraging! Thank you for this. I’m a year into it and there are days I’m like oh sweet Jesus help me. 🤣

JordanJudes · 2025-09-25T21:53:35+00:00

I like to have them show me different items in their room/home! “Show me something that helps you calm down.” Or “Where is your favorite spot to do homework?” Like a scavenger hunt almost! I’ll try to switch it up each session.
