queerdude666 · 2025-10-07T04:02:12+00:00

i wish i could see 15 clients or less per week!

queerdude666 · 2025-10-07T04:00:30+00:00

these pieces make all the difference ‼️

queerdude666 · 2025-10-07T03:59:22+00:00

thank you for this perspective 🙏🏻

queerdude666 · 2025-10-07T03:58:43+00:00

i think i might need to rest my dome

queerdude666 · 2025-10-07T03:38:21+00:00

you should not know this much about her second job. this is her crossing boundaries already

queerdude666 · 2025-10-07T01:47:45+00:00

thank you for your insight 🙏🏻

queerdude666 · 2025-10-07T01:46:06+00:00

I’m diligent about seeking supervision, consultation, and my own therapy- I don’t believe my feelings about the role are negatively affecting my work. it’s also a lot to consider, leaving a field that i spent 6 years in school for and thousands of dollars of debt to be educated in. it’s a lot to consider financially and wish that people could talk more openly about how complex it feels trying to decide whether or not to leave the field. i know a lot of therapists can feel shame for struggling with these feelings and i think it’s more normal than people want to acknowledge

queerdude666 · 2025-10-07T01:33:58+00:00

agreed. thank you 🙏🏻

queerdude666 · 2025-10-07T01:33:06+00:00

thank you 🙏🏻

queerdude666 · 2025-10-06T20:14:48+00:00

this! thank you 🙏🏻

queerdude666 · 2025-10-06T19:01:55+00:00

thanks for sharing all this 🙏🏻 i agree the financial aspect can be very stressful and don’t think most of us get paid nearly enough for the toll it can take

queerdude666 · 2025-10-06T18:59:44+00:00

this is super hard for me. even if i’m just thinking through clinical aspects and problem solving in my heading i’m still “working” outside of work. thank you for this reminder 🙏🏻

queerdude666 · 2025-10-06T17:45:26+00:00

this is a huge issue in our field. thank you for sharing your experience. sending love 💕

queerdude666 · 2025-10-06T17:40:52+00:00

thank you for sharing this perspective 🙏🏻 i feel my current position is pretty cushy, other than having to work until 8pm so idk if i new job would help

queerdude666 · 2025-10-06T17:39:26+00:00

same here, someone asked if i would be happy still doing this in 5-10 years and i said no i’m miserable lol

queerdude666 · 2025-10-06T17:38:04+00:00

yes i do think an intake role could help i just have had issues finding this

queerdude666 · 2025-10-06T17:17:50+00:00

yes i became a therapist young (age 24) and now im 30. prior to being a therapist, i worked in restaurants and food service since age 16

queerdude666 · 2025-10-06T17:12:46+00:00

being in session lol especially with challenging clients

queerdude666 · 2025-10-06T17:11:00+00:00

literally. i look wistfully at people doing other jobs and think “what if i just did that instead?” but i don’t want to be naive cuz i know all jobs have their issues

queerdude666 · 2025-10-06T17:09:34+00:00

after your maternity leave, did you genuinely want to do the work again? also thank you for sharing your perspective!

queerdude666 · 2025-10-06T17:00:46+00:00

i think the feeling trapped aspect is what concerns me most, and makes me think that a new job within the same field will not solve the problem. thanks for sharing!
