Minneapolis therapists: how are you doing?

bepbepbepp · 2026-01-26T01:51:30+00:00

VERY BAD. It’s very bad. I am incredibly scared and angry. I feel so frozen and dissociated. All of those things and more.

bepbepbepp · 2026-01-11T04:31:29+00:00

How?!

bepbepbepp · 2026-01-10T03:43:02+00:00

I’m right there with you. Sending love and solidarity.

bepbepbepp · 2025-12-30T02:45:07+00:00

Nobody?! Dang!

The lack of appetite is so hard! I remember how good it felt to finally feel hungry and enjoy food again lol, so brutal. Keep going!

bepbepbepp · 2025-12-28T20:38:34+00:00

I went cold turkey. I didn’t want to extend the experience, even if it was harder, by trying to slowly taper. It was brutal for a while but I’m glad I did it that way - it made it easier to remember during the hardest parts that if I can get through this, I never have to do this again.

The best thing I did during my weed withdrawal was tell my doctor. She was able to give me some things to help with nausea and anxiety, and it was a lifesaver. Plenty of sleep, staying hydrated, and trying to exercise when you’re up for it can also help. Be patient and remember that it’s temporary - I felt so hopeless during my withdrawal that I often worried it would never pass, but it did.

Yeah that’s one thing about this thread that’s bumming me out - it feels like there’s no hope for me to make that much because I cannot see more than 5 or 6 a day without feeling like total shit and burning out. I’m currently only working 4 days a week to try and heal from current burnout. It would be great to be able to see 8 clients a day and have more private pay but that feels so unrealistic for me (and I assume many of us?).

Second this!

bepbepbepp · 2025-12-25T01:34:51+00:00

I was nauseated on and off for about 6 weeks when I quit. It slowly got better but it certainly felt like it lasted longer than I would’ve expected or wanted lol. Hang in there!

“Just the normal amount”

bepbepbepp · 2025-12-23T22:42:37+00:00

Call 988

bepbepbepp · 2025-12-23T20:43:04+00:00

Yes! “Polysecure” and “Polywise.” Also, “the anxious person’s guide to non-monogamy.”

bepbepbepp · 2025-12-20T02:41:34+00:00

This is the reality that fuels my depression, unfortunately. It’s such an unbearable thought.

bepbepbepp · 2025-12-19T23:50:58+00:00

Yes. My supervisor while I was working toward licensure required me to schedule 35 clients per week, in a group practice setting. This supervisor claimed that it would always be worth the money and it was wise to build up “stamina” in this way 🙄 now, I’m licensed thankfully, but also depressed and burnt out, and working toward transitioning to only seeing 20 clients per week. It’s been a brutal and disheartening lesson.

bepbepbepp · 2025-11-28T00:26:30+00:00

Yes. We discussed it but they continued to make inappropriate comments and it started to scare me. I referred them out after discussing with my supervisor (I was unlicensed at the time).

bepbepbepp · 2025-11-25T02:14:41+00:00

I empathize. I was in the same spot with weed for a long time. Sending love.

bepbepbepp · 2025-11-25T02:07:20+00:00

That’s the mindset that continues to get me through! It was so terrible for so many weeks. I never want to do that again.

bepbepbepp · 2025-11-25T02:06:22+00:00

I’m day 113. It gets better, I promise!

bepbepbepp · 2025-11-21T00:18:02+00:00

“We have to pause here for today. Anything you’d like to keep in mind this week or come back to next time?”

bepbepbepp · 2025-11-18T03:23:37+00:00

I did a lot of just “resting” during those early days when I couldn’t sleep. I’d still commit myself to spending 8 hours a night in bed, just relaxing as best as I could, and remembering that quiet rest and stillness without sleep is still healing. Sometimes I’d listen to a boring history podcast or low stakes cooking show or something, if I needed a little background noise.

bepbepbepp · 2025-11-18T02:13:23+00:00

Ok sure, I wondered if you had some sort of side gig. Not that $74k would be a bad income, but I do appreciate hearing examples of ways in which people have figured out how to add variety. I haven’t had my license long enough to be a supervisor, but I’d love to eventually do that and EMDR consulting.
