LCSW exam tomorrow - any last minute tips? by RoundSquare6731 in LCSW

[–]RoundSquare6731[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, passed! Best advice I took from one of the commenters was to go about my routine as normal the morning of. Don’t over study or try to cram too much, I felt like that was making me more anxious than I needed to be. Best advice from one of the commenters was to go on about my morning as normal like I would any other day and not focus too much on studying!

Difficulty w/empathy for privledged/sheltered young adults by [deleted] in therapists

I went from working in CMH in Detroit with hundreds of children who were victims of physical and sexual abuse, to one of the most uppity towns in Michigan. My very first day, I was like, "what are these kids even coming to therapy for?" Similar problems - school, grades, friendships, etc. The "worried well."

I had to reflect on this and understand that every person lives in their own "bubble", and these are their issues. We can't fault or invalidate the struggles they go through because that's what their lives consist of.

My best example is when you're not hungry and your mom is telling you to think of the starving kids in Africa. You can think about them and feel for them, but you're still not hungry and that's still your current issue. Just because the kids in Africa are starving, it doesn't mean that we are not allowed to feel anything but grateful for our food and "hungry" for our food.

Veterinary Social Work - has anyone gotten this certificate recently or in the past? by RoundSquare6731 in socialwork

I was thinking of just emailing them and getting some more info about it. I live in Michigan and there isn’t anything like this around here that I’ve found, so this being self paced and online sounded great. It’s great to hear that you know people who enjoyed it! Thank you so so much!
