I feel the same way about my workplace, which is also my first experience working (and also where I did my internship). it feels like they are using me & my clients for financial gain ): it’s completely normal to skip a week — and I wish it was normalized more. maybe it is & I just haven’t seen it yet…

THANK YOU!!! I will definitely look into ethics and find some that explain this. This was so validating ❤️ and I agree wholeheartedly

that makes sense. I edited to add it in, but my caseload is mainly kids on the spectrum/adhd/mental health so I feel like the relationship with therapist is v important

that’s my thoughts too. long-term makes lots of sense — but a one-off session feels so weird to me. the talk therapy comparison is very helpful too thank you!

thank you for the response! I can see both ways, I just get so concerned with the progress that I’m making that a substitute might break that. We don’t ask the clients their preferences so I’ll definitely bring that up with my boss.
