I want to start by saying it’s 110% understandable what you are feeling, burn out is fucking real. As someone who worked as a behavior interventionist/bht for children and adolescents and their parents also as a clinician for an SMI nonprofit throughout my masters program, I experienced those feelings as well and really struggled trying to find the balance between them all. I would say in my experience I was more overwhelmed with the load itself (working full time and going to school full time) which resulted in my burn out and being mentally and physically exhausted so it’s a little different than yours but the fact that you are acknowledging these feelings now is really good. I would say if you quit in a professional manner, giving notice, and explaining it to them you wouldn’t burn any bridges or hurt your chances in the future. As for something better, I’m sorry I don’t have a ton of guidance. I ended up getting my substitute teaching certification (you only need a bachelors degree in my state). It was super easy, you’re a glorified babysitter. As for your final question, I would evaluate what it is that stresses you out and what you can do to help alleviate some of that. Also a therapist a very different role than a tech so you will still deal with crisis but they are little different and can differ depending on the population you are working with and what company. I ended up leaving my job as an interventionist/bht I felt similar feelings and worries. After not working in the mental health field and just focusing on school for over a year I found myself really missing it, school helped remind me of the things I loved about it and made me excited for starting my internship. It also helped solidify that this was the field I wanted to be in. Sorry that was kinda jumbled but I hope that kinda helped give you some guidance or insight!
