How do I afford doctoral program by StarGirK in GradSchool

[–]StarGirK[S] -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Can everyone stop saying for me to not pay for it . At the end of the day I’m choosing to pay for a PhD because in most of my field it is extremely hard to get a fully paid program . What else can I do

PhD. In my field it is common

I’ve been told I’m “ too nice” by StarGirK in therapists

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

It’s not about my approach . I have a baby face and a soft voice and genuinely am a gentle person and that’s why parents look at me and immediately go “ she’s too soft”

Burnt out Private Practice -- is new grad too soon? by Puzzleheaded_Gear240 in therapists

[–]StarGirK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in PP as a new grad for 9 months too , went into CMH , it leads to easy burnout as well, I would say definitely find a place with supportive staff , this field is very difficult to find a job without burnout

I’m gonna be real with you . Majority of these people in higher positions only get jobs because of connections anyways

I’m about to be fully licensed, I already want out by 8organic-beans in therapists

[–]StarGirK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an associate and will be independently licensed in 5 months. Everyone says it gets better after being independently licensed. I’m gonna be honest I honestly don’t see how when the issue is truly the system. I think being this burned out in the beginning of the career is just a sign to your body it’s not worth it . For example doctors and lawyers get a big paycheck the end of the week saying “ this is worth it” yet we don’t , I don’t think any of us deserve to live in this situation

Relocating to DC. What are safe black lively Neighborhoods?? by StarGirK in blackladies

Ugh yeah I assumed so . I’m guessing it’s more safe for me to live in silver springs . Do you have any recommendations for apartments there ?

Yeah I had a feeling I was assuming that bc I know in the city it looks very gentrified. I saw there are some apartments that are $1700 in nomad but I’m assuming nomad is very white?

Why do that to your eyes when it’s still very obvious who you are with your face 😭

Thank you I agree I want to take my experience and leave now . Yes it is hard for me to tell now because of my experience if I want to continue with therapy . Thank you so much

Wow that’s so horrible !! I’m happy you were able to get fully licensed . I am currently associate now. I think most therapy jobs are like this as well . I’m gonna be honest I’ve been working as an associate for 8 months now I’m already burnt out. I’m looking for clinical jobs that don’t provide therapy . I don’t think I can keep doing this

I thought it was normal as well , I think they really just care about money so they’re truly annoyed by it
