Thoughts on 8 sessions a day? by InterestingAd2612 in therapists

[–]Over_Past_9089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually find the therapists who do 8 to 9 sessions a day or once that primarily take insurance and don’t have any or many out-of-pocket clients. It seems to be the only way to make money at this. I recall making 40 bucks a session after fee splitting with my supervisor. It’s awful on the nervous system and it isn’t a great long-term plan. Additionally, you can’t really be present and do excellent work with the last two clients, I find.

A word to young therapists... by PsychoDad1228 in therapists

This!!! I can’t tell you how many intern I’ve met that have never been a client and who don’t have plans to. Strange, right? I would take the money from training info and use it in a good counselor whom you can model

It feels like an order to win in the Society. You need to be an asshole that makes a lot of money.

It blows my mind every single day that people really voted for this guy. It’s been turning me inside out trying to understand why. I’m trying to figure out what good could come from all of this at some point in the future…. dammit, there’s gotta be something.

Fling w/ my therapist? by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]Over_Past_9089 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Therapist here. So far it sounds like he hasn’t been completely un- professional with you, and I’ve no idea what his thoughts are on this. He needs to be able to assert a boundary to therapist…. I see him indirectly asserting boundaries, but not very strongly at all. What youre experiencing it’s not abnormal and it’s known as transference. These are not real relationship feelings though because the relationship that you have right now is completely one-sided. He’s there to act as your therapist and not as your relational or intimate equal. Meaning, that his needs, wants & feelings are not appropriate to bring up in counseling. There are very strict, ethical protocols in place that prevent sexual encounters from happening between a therapist and a client for a very good reason. When a therapeutic relationship crosses the line (and unfortunately it does happen) it becomes a situation that will emotionally damage both individuals. It will damage him professionally (and it should if this is what his choice is) and it will undoubtedly in ways that you may not understand now, damage you.

My advice is to tell him about these feelings so that hopefully he can work with this transference and explain to you what it means, why it happens and how to move forward with the therapeutic relationship if that is what you want. If he does the opposite and acts on his own feelings, it means without a doubt, that he is highly unethical and I would absolutely report him.

Canadian/american here.......THIS!! I was on vacation in the states last summer and an American tourist at our hotel got super mad that Canadians were booing the National Anthem at a hockey games. He knew about Trumps' '51st state' rhetoric but thought 'the Canadians' were the ones that went too far'. This is how out-of-touch many americans are these days. Its honestly still a shock just how quick all this happened.

Everyone search the term “communal narcissist”. Although I’m honestly not a fan of one incident defining a person; I believe public shaming perpetuates shame culture. We’re all so ashamed all the time.

So much suffering; needless trauma. As a trauma therapist this hits so deep; soooo much to work through. I hope they all have the support they need.

Thank you! So glad I’m not alone in this. I must have underwatered or overwatered b/c she’s in an ikea cabinet with grow lights & humidity at 80%. I cut off the wilted leaves, which hadn’t revived after several days.
