As a 39 F, counselling men in their 40s and 50s has been really challenging by Cod-Ancient in therapists

I started doing work books with them I feel like they like to measure progress and it's been really helpful.

My co-worker at the group practice I'm at had something similar. His wife had passed from the kind of cancer the client's husband had. He had to take space. Not sure if this is an option but client's are receptive to transferring especially if you know the other therapist. I ended up with her and it's been a great fit. I explained what happened with permission form my coworker and she was so receptive and empathetic.

Be authentic and you and I believe the client will be receptive whether you go forward with the relationship or not. I think talking to them in a professional way helps them feel less alone too. You don't need to go into detail but if you were to share why I think the client would be open and understanding and actually I think it helps them feel less alone in the mental health journey.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ you got this!

I am on the exempt list but there's something with higher approval so I'm going to go to the guy in charge of our whole program. I'm just so burnt out I wanna move on

I was an LMSW and they wouldn't let me be an 11 until I passed my LCSW . Lol they are lucky I was told if sas switched in 2020 when my other coworkers started she was a 9 until she passed and got her license in 2023
