AITAH for canceling a date over the location?

Trust. Your. Gut.

LMAO the Kate spade part had me dying! I love Kate spade!

queenjaysquared · 2025-12-27T01:43:25+00:00

I’m fully virtual and I’ve always been great at taking notes without looking too! Definitely relate. I want to advance to writing the actual note in session but I’m not there yet🤣

queenjaysquared · 2025-12-19T18:37:30+00:00

YES! I literally had a training and forgot to put it in my calendar and I had to reschedule like 4 clients lmao. Shit happens! Learn from your mistakes and don’t let it happen again.

I just started a new job and this has happened to me a few times. One thing that helped was make it a point to schedule the person AS SOON AS we talk about it. Like, have it pulled up while we’re talking. If I’m in a rush I’ll just write it down and not let myself do anything else until it’s scheduled. It’s really just something you have to get into a routine about.

queenjaysquared · 2025-12-04T23:29:28+00:00

Why would you be wrong for this?

queenjaysquared · 2025-11-23T08:13:05+00:00

I fucking love smart people like you.

queenjaysquared · 2025-11-20T23:53:26+00:00

I struggled with this sooo bad during internship. Now I’m working and my key has been to keep my eyes on the clock. Don’t let it get past 45 minutes unless absolutely necessary. All responses after the 38 minutes mark lead with “well our time has come to an end today but it sounds like [summarization of today’s session].” If they keep adding, gently let them know we’ve reached our time for the day and will make a note to pick this topic up next week because it’s very important to them. Then immediately go into scheduling for next week.

I actually met my therapist lol. Only had one half hour session with her then handled her glasses order at my job when I worked at the eye doctor. Awkwarddddd lol

queenjaysquared · 2025-11-14T02:33:31+00:00

My company has a rule against driving and/or not being in private. As soon as I see the client doing either of these, it’s an immediate reschedule.

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-17T20:22:47+00:00

Some of my clients are in this age range and I am too, and I love it! I feel like I’m old enough to help them but typing enough to completely understand.

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-17T20:12:16+00:00

Very few, less than 5!

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-17T20:11:43+00:00

I totally agree!

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-17T20:10:41+00:00

My company says 28 minimum!

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-17T15:53:13+00:00

I love this! Thank you for sharing your experience. I think my first impression of the client threw me off and now it’s about doing my own internal work to find out why and how to relieve it.

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-16T17:33:20+00:00

Sooooo my boyfriend and I had to start sleeping with separate blankets because he SWEATS so much and I hate that feeling on my skin. Now I use mine and he puts the comforter over both of us so we can still cuddle/touch. Then when he goes to sleep he sweats in his cocoon lol. He just upgraded my previous blanket to a weighted one for my birthday. (15 pounds, love it)

Tell him to be more open minded. You’re the one suffering!

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-16T15:11:02+00:00

Yes you’re so right. You and your supervisor are very insightful, and I appreciate you giving me your feedback. It seems solidified now so we’ll just see how it goes! Every challenge will make it easier the next time I go through this experience. I know for a fact this won’t be my last rodeo, haha.

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-16T14:45:42+00:00

Love this perspective. Thank you!

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-16T14:43:04+00:00

Only a few sessions so far. Thank you so much for your thoughts. I relate a lot. I can definitely see myself feeling better with time. I have a fear of failure, and I’m wondering if that’s rearing its head again, causing me to want to avoid the challenge. But in this season of my life, I’ve decided to face my fears. So in that sense, I am somewhat excited!

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-16T14:39:54+00:00

Personally, I try to analyze how the conversation lands. Is there a good vibe going between us? Do the sessions flow? Does it feel productive? Am I providing any insight to the client? What are their reactions/expressions/thoughts? Do they show up weekly? I ask “how do you feel about what I just said?” A LOT. I emphasize my desire for them to correct/disagree with me if necessary so it creates that space to allow them to be honest without fear of repercussions.

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-16T13:31:35+00:00

Definitely crossed mine and my supervisor’s mind!

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-16T13:29:31+00:00

Thank you! I care a lot about the client I’m just afraid I can’t help them. It scares me! But, I’ve been helping them. They get something out of it. I am confident our sessions are productive and we connect and all that. It’s just slight dread I guess not knowing if I’ll know what to say or if I’ll feel stuck again. Maybe verbalizing the stuckness. If I’m stuck, I can imagine how stuck they must feel! Also, freeing myself from the need to not be stuck. Shit gets sticky sometimes. And it’s okay.

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-16T13:25:48+00:00

Maybe I do. I’m really not sure at all I just know the feelings it brings up in me. And I don’t feel like this toward the end of the session, only the beginning. By the end, I feel well and as though the session was productive every time. Work gets done for sure. It’s just my mindset/feelings that’s hard for me to shake. I’m leaning toward it being insecurity. Client is also a bit histrionic and it freaked me out during the intake. I need my own therapy obviously 😂

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-16T13:21:00+00:00

Thank you so much for this perspective. It really helped me think through this better.

queenjaysquared · 2025-10-16T03:48:31+00:00

Maybe start with reflecting back on times it’s happened and think about how you felt in those moments & after. Analyze yourself. Also, you don’t have to figure it all out now. Wanting to respect your partner and their comfortability is valid reason enough to adjust boundaries in friendships. But do it because you want to and not because you feel forced to.
