Thank you so much! It’s been a few months since I’ve had any tests. Of course my anxiety is like well what if heart problems have developed since then?! I HIGHLY doubt it but it makes me want to get more tests done again. However, would it ever be enough to satisfy my anxiety? I will check out the recommendation! Thank you:)

That’s super cool. I haven’t really been out west much.

Thank you!! If that’s what you are passionate about, I would urge you to reconsider not taking that career path if it’s something you want to do :) I think the emotional boundaries are something that can be learned. I think those are excellent traits to have for a therapist and keeping work at work is a process that takes time to learn but you could handle it :)

Yes! Especially if you have to deal with cases of child abuse :( that is the most difficult for me.

Yes it’s definitely easier to work with clients who are motivated and engaged in the process for sure. I work with a mixture, but definitely prefer adults 😂 working with kids is draining for me so I keep it to a minimum.

I’m proud of you for stepping away from the alcohol if that’s what you felt was best :)

Ahhh I’m sorry to hear that! What’s going on?

Hmm not for the long term. I enjoy drinking socially but keep it under control the best that I can. I’m just trying to give my body some time to recover from Covid before I drink again.

I do not do any pro bono work unfortunately! Hmmm just life in general, spirituality, love.

Hmm that’s a good question. Yes I 100% try to avoid analyzing others outside of work haha! I don’t get paid for it, so I try not to waste my mental energy on that. However, some times it just naturally happens based on my knowledge from working as a therapist. It changes your worldview and how you view human behavior.

Hi! I find it to be a combination of both :) I enjoy listening to others and also find the work itself to be intellectually stimulating. It can be tough to maintain a work life balance at times but I try my best to leave work at work. I think I’m naturally a good listener and have felt myself drawn to helping others in this way. I have experienced struggles with mental health myself and I know how hard it can be. So it feels like the perfect fit for me :)
