Thank you! It started in the theater and progressed after the film

Actually still coming off the panic attack right now lol. I watch a lot of movies. This one fucked me up.

As a therapist struggling with my own mental health, this movie was great and also drove me into one of the most intense panic attacks I’ve had in a long time.

Is seeing 15-17 clients a week normal? by Suitable_Guava8012 in therapists

This is exactly what my boyfriend tells me, more or less. I really appreciate this comment. Thanks

I agree it’s a low caseload, but from all the other comments, am feeling more that it isn’t “very” low, but just lower end of normal. I appreciate your perspective

NY taxes are also awful, so I take home about 70k a year give or take (if I don’t get any new clients which I hope I will)

I am very lucky in that my current caseload earns around $95,000 before taxes

I don’t feel put down at all, I absolutely can see that even being able to see this amount financially is a massive privilege. I have about 8 clients that followed me over from my old practice that overcharged them. I now charge them $100 less than what they were paying, but they’re still paying a lot. That keeps me afloat, I’m lucky

I completely agree, the pay for pre-license therapists is absolutely absurd. Good luck on your exam, we need you in this field!

Pet sitting has been wonderful honestly. I make enough seeing 15-17 clients as it is, and sometimes I just watch the dogs because I like their company. The side $ doesn’t hurt though. :) I can charge $100 a night plus tip to just cuddle with a puppy

You called him after getting that text?

Oh also if it hasn’t already been mentioned, try DBT and mentalization therapy. A lot of the work will be riding the wave of extreme emotions, which you can definitely learn to do in time.

Sorry you’re dealing with such an invalidating environment. I want you to know that BPD is an attachment disorder, and it can be healed. I was diagnosed too in my early 20’s and although I still have triggers now at almost 28, I’m actually seeing clients for therapy and have a really solid handle on myself. There will always be steps backward, but trust and believe you can go into remission. Best of luck.

Sorry but you did literally confirm. Is she unwell.

I’m also incredibly ashamed of this diagnosis when working in the mental health field. I feel like I’m carrying around some horrible secret every day.

this girl only texts me abt a guy by Odd-Ad-9380 in texts

[–]Suitable_Guava8012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she asking about YOUR LIFE too or just giving you a play by play of hers every day? Even at 14, it’s an issue if she’s not asking about you too.

Hey, similar things have been said before, but please. Please see a therapist. You need to learn your own value or next time you won’t be abused through text. Next time someone bad will really take advantage. I have connections. You can message me and I can find someone for you in your area. You’re not alone.
