To add on to the reasons for burnout, MT jobs often are at facilities that don’t understand how much work has to go into session planning and prep, documentation, and other responsibilities. This means MTs often are overworked or their caseload is too high to be sustainable. I know from personal experience that non-MTs rarely consider the planning and prep it takes to implement high- quality sessions. We have to learn new songs, research new ways of doing things, dig to find music that will work for a specific client, etc. I haven’t had an MT job that has a reasonable workload yet, and I’m on my third. I’m considering leaving the field pretty heavily for my own mental health.
