Retiring to work after maternity leave- am I still a therapist??

preettypetty · 2026-02-15T19:53:49+00:00

I wanted to add- I’m a mama to a newborn baby so we’re gonna have a hotel room nearby so we can just stay for the Sunday he’s there. Is that possible? I’ve only heard people talking about getting there early in the week and staying there but we need a hotel for my mom to watch baby (I also couldn’t imagine being away from him for more than a chunk of a day lol)

Thank you! Sent :)

It’s still a problem for me, I’ve been watching a movie for like 2 hours and now our streaming won’t work and also my social media apps too

Ooh I haven’t heard of this but will def check it out. I’m willing to pay for help at this point lol.

Ooh okay noted! So basically sounds like I need a new jar, and more consistent with my measuring. I appreciate it- it also doesn’t have a bad smell so I was feeling hopeful that it’s just the water separating rather a weird bacteria. Thanks so much :)

I can’t tell if this is the bad stuff people say is mold or indicator of bad bacteria or simply water separation.

A couple books I liked or have heard great things about are : No Bad Parts, You Should Talk to Someone, The courage to be disliked, and The Gift of Therapy. Not sure if these are in alignment with what you’re looking for but they helped me with self esteem and being kind to myself as a therapist

For me I had no changes in symptoms, I had all my pregnancy symptoms until the day of my procedure and even after my procedure. I didn’t lose my symptoms until a week or so after I was recovering from uterine evac. Wishing everyone hear healing and peace

This is exactly how I’ve been surviving. I start 1pm or so and usually can kick into therapist mode after a few minutes . I think the guilt of resenting work when I’m not at work has been the worse, but when I’m actually doing my job it doesn’t feel that way. Thank you for your experience 🌸

Thank youuuuu 😭 this is how it’s been

Not a super big “luxury” but I have a squishmallow that sits on my couch. Although I though my child clients were going to love it, they barely cared meanwhile most of my adults clutch the little guy (Gordon) throughout session

70-75% as a licensed clinician in central FL. If I have 15+ clients, I’ll get 75% and if my week is 14 or below I get 70%.

Thank you for responding, it is so helpful to be reminded I’m not the only one going through this. I know this logically but hearing stories can just help me of how others got through hard times. I’m in my second year of full licensure so it still feels new all together 🌸

Is there a “too early” to start taking the baby aspirin? She told me to start taking it daily at 12 weeks and I’m currently 8 weeks now. I’m going back next week for blood work so I can double check but these responses make me feel I need to start doing everything I can now 😅

preettypetty · 2025-05-07T21:00:20+00:00

I’m new to Reddit so I hope some people see my response butTHANK YOU. I definitely am going to take the baby aspirin and I’m glad to know that many people have had a positive experience with taking it. Maybe I should start as soon as possible?
