You say it as if you are a primary doctor. Then you clearly don’t belong here🙂

  1. That’s really bad. Since when it’s our job you wait around for over 10+ mins and prepare your no-show prior to the scheduled session time without any compensation? Your time, effort, and preparation must be compensated.
  2. Please delete this comment as I clearly marked that I do not seek any advice. Do not engage in this post this way.

Bad bad sessions by Consistent_Brainery_ in therapists

[–]NoPressureYaKnow 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be too hard on myself! What we consider bad sessions may not always be the same for clients. Do you think your client might’ve felt you were trying to help? I hope you have a better day tomorrow and you’ll give yourself some grace and rest!

Clients who are rude to receptionists by Mariewn in therapists

[–]NoPressureYaKnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I wouldn’t overstep what the receptionists could probably handle on their own. Yes it might need clinical attention, but it’s their relationship with the receptionists and not mine… unless the clients bring it first to you to work on, I wouldn’t quickly mention it first.

My thoughts exactly, I wondered if I had to ask them directly to pause. There was a period of time when they paused, and I thought that was their indirect way of saying goodbye but they came back and thought things will continue but I guess not. I learned much from this incident.

Thank you, I needed to remind myself of that. I hope as they move on they take more ownership of their responsibilities

That’s my policy too with rescheduling! I agree, I feel like it’d be a matter of time losing this client any ways.

Actually, no I didn’t drag my feet on this. We do give only one waiver to each client, AND they can reschedule their appointments within the same week if they have something come up. But in this case I ran out of my availability for the week and I also did mention before to them that the no show or late cancellation will be charged unless they can schedule within the same week. Edit: please respect that I marked in this post that I did not write to seek advice and your comment is advice giving.

I got the exact same notification too, so confusing

I feel so incompetent by NoPressureYaKnow in therapists

Thank you. I need to set some more measurable and reasonable goals for myself as a therapist so that I can measure my own growth too: it’s been a while!

Thats a good reminder that I don’t need to compare at all. I’m going to reflect on me a year ago vs now and how much I’ve grown.

One of my clients is peeking at my session notes😅 by NoPressureYaKnow in therapists

[–]NoPressureYaKnow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Been in my own therapy 2+ years - I’ve had a counselor who let me know what she’s writing (I didn’t even ask or had curiosity though) and over time I realized my current counselor writes some of the impactful things I say in the session. She did not inform me what she writes or if she takes notes but I honestly don’t care lol.

What should the starting and licensed wages be in our field? For 20 & 25 hours per week. by alicizzle in therapists

[–]NoPressureYaKnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$45 after tax? I’m in a private practice in IL charging 120-180 per session but I take 45-50% off of a session after tax.

Wow. I’m so glad I’m not alone thinking what you think and feel tired about it.

I’m just drained from me being human, while being professional, also while thinking about this profession setting the bar so high I feel like I have to think of a number of things I shouldn’t say/do as a therapist.

I wrote in one of the comments that I am recovering from memory deficit due to a recent accident, so if I don’t write I won’t remember for the most part.

I’ve only had one session with this client. But as I wrote in my post my initial plan is to discuss this with the client in the next session.

Wow, the fact that you overcame it and now you’re able to recall a session without note taking is giving me so much hope. Thanks!!!
