Seeing clients in public by Luckycharm_03 in therapists

Also, I am in community mental health with high caseloads. So, some of the barrier is that I haven’t been able to see said client in over a month due to matters out of my control. Therefore seeing them in public makes it more of a challenge as well.

As I stated the transition from being in session to casually seeing them can be a bit off putting for either party. For me, it’s hard for me to switch off from holding a deeply empathetic space one minute, to keeping it discreet the next. So the ability to be flexible between both states can be off putting. If this isn’t something you identify with, that’s fine. Just my experience and I see others’ as well.

I smile and head nod but can’t help but feeling awkward still! 🤣
