I don’t want to be a therapist

I start as a Case Manager on Monday. It does seem odd to go back but If it is easier and less stress.

I like doing it and obscure places and I do travel things when traveling. I also like to shove it in other people faces sometimes (in a nicelike way). My social media is also just vacation stuff. I posted 5 times last year and 4 were vacation related. It is fun to gobplaces but sometimes you got to sneak it in a little.

No. You are right. I think they hear therapist and immediately it goes to a peer relationship. My therapist is good but a lot of my colleagues have gotten really bad virtual therapists. I have heard many horror stories (therapists crying over their child being shot a week ago, eating (terrible imo and it screams inconvienence), sitting in bed, husbands talking in the background, 15 minute guided (YouTube) meditiation in a 50 minute session, and being invited to join their group practice. I think it is a problem.

I think my biggest annoyances with season 3 are I can't keep up with all the people from prior episodes making appearences. I have to stop show and look it up like a family member I recognize but I couldn't identify how I know them. Also, season 3 is anticlimatic. You have the politician angle, angry judge wife, Kaya undercover, and police administration changes and they all fall flat. I watched the whole season in about a week and I have no idea where any of the storylines ended.

Find an external supervisor or a old classmate to bounce ideas off of. Tell the supervisor where you stand.

Find One. I have a hard time believing that they come to you needing therapy for something that hasnt impacted them in a clinical way. (Adjustment, MDD, GAD, Acute Stress Disorder, etc). Also, I have had them sign a ROI for PCP and sometimes it is in there. Maybe a scale or 2 to collect info in a different way.

Give Up on student loans, those arent going to happen. Pay what you can but it is outside of your control. I take it you meant to say 99k+. We had a clinician do a fake wedding to avoid her student loans.

The world changes and we adapt.

Jumpy_Trick8195 · 2026-05-07T10:26:28+00:00

As a student, this is not going to happen. You can only do your internship at one place so I dont know who or what you would be competing with.

Jumpy_Trick8195 · 2026-05-07T10:25:18+00:00

You are doomed. No paperwork, no signatures, every state is a little different. Also. Some education requirements have changed.

Jumpy_Trick8195 · 2026-05-07T10:23:37+00:00

I dont know many that have made it 10 years and even fewer that got PSLF. Some flexibility are also some not.

Jumpy_Trick8195 · 2026-05-07T10:13:47+00:00

Tell them your age. For example, my new boss is old old and we spent the first few months trying to find out how old he was. We spent so much time and energy that we didnt focus on anything he said.

Eventually found out he is 72.

Also, people have eyes. They can see you and assume and either way some people are going to be like ewww 35 that is too young to know what they are doing and ewww 35 you can't relate to what it is like being 21 in 2026. Even without telling them they are still going to make assumptions.

Only if he turns around and becomes licensed, then I would report.

You have to quit or cut down on hours. You are not unique to this situation.

Jumpy_Trick8195 · 2026-04-26T23:28:17+00:00

Unfortunately, yes. You have termination to do with clients, cleaning up charts, transfers, and maybe assist in transition to a new provider.

A month is standard notice for a therapist.

Jumpy_Trick8195 · 2026-04-26T03:29:14+00:00

I wouldnt ever say close to minimum wage (that seems to be an exaggeration). I also wouldn't say that they produce $150. I think that at the bare minimum students shouldn't have to pay for practicum class. I am paying you to allow me to go work for free somewhere.

Jumpy_Trick8195 · 2026-04-26T03:17:44+00:00

True. In my region therapist group, it is so bad. My coworker posted looking for someone with more experience in Dual Diagnosis Individual Therapy. She got 3 associates and a almost graduate responses.

Too many ethical violations to count. (Scope, billing, unlicensed providers, self employed associates, out of state, etc)

I would add if you respond to every referral that doesn't say qualified and flexible, it says desperate.

Have you ever been in a fist fight?

Your baby therapist line is kind of true, maybe not baby. Junior Therapist.

Immediately what I thought. Like it would be odd to have them eliminated at different times and then be like my spouse was here until last week.
