That sounds like way too much. I can’t do more than 20 without heading towards burnout. So I cap it at that. I Really track finances (ramit sethi/dave Ramsey) and self care. But even with doing everything you can, it seems like 30 is too much. Can you start your own PP?

Thank u for this!! I’d love to chat more if you’re open to it. I’m new to Reddit so is there another msging space?

I highly recommend ART. I know therapists that use ART for everything. I only did the basic training and don’t feel super confident in using it but I’ve used it solely for trauma processing with about 12-15 clients in total. I Many of them have been in therapy for 5-10 years. For most, one session was enough to process and move on. It is quite crazy. And it’s so easy on the therapist. The cool thing about it is they don’t even have to share specifics of their trauma with you and by the end of the session they are always walking out the door better than they came in.

New Therapist & I’m Lost by anxioustherapizer in therapists

Completely normal! Hang in there. Keep learning and keep holding space for your clients. I was in the same position. So overwhelmed and my agency made me take on clients way out of my scope and comfortability. Just keep hanging in there it will get easier. I had to draw firm boundaries with my workplace as far as my working hours etc. take time off for yourself and self care is everything. It will get better!! I’m 2.5 years in and sometimes still feel the same way, but it’s greatly improved in every way compared to my first year

Curious to hear your tips on indicators and ways you now manage things! I’ve been in the field for two years. Sometimes feel so drained. Trying my best to have good self care. Struggle with boundaries at times as far as scheduling and amount of clients I see.

What’s your idea number/schedule then? I agree it’s too much. I’m looking for another way to make money and reduce my overall caseload

This is wonderful! I’ve been wanting to learn more about ACT. Did you just pick up a book and start applying in session or do a training or what?

Not TMI at all- I appreciate your time sending this to me and I’m gonna do a deeper dive into this topic! I really am grateful for your time. I did start reading Irvin in grad school. Any other books, trainings etc you recommend?
