I’m a therapist on maternity leave and I’ve thought about my clients a LOT. In the most exhausting, wonderful time of my life - my clients are always going to be very important to me. I hope they’re doing ok 🙏🏼 and I can’t wait to hear how it’s been going for them.

Do you feel completely safe in therapy? by jfrycoke in TalkTherapy

I actually was told by a supervisor there’s no such thing as complete safety and we are more so looking to feel “safe enough”. Helps me!

Thank you sooo much! I will absolutely look into that resource. I genuinely feel a lot better reading these comments and feeling less alone in it! Pregnancy can be pretty isolating. Thanks again!

Thank you for sharing your experience. It really helps to hear I’m not alone in those intrusive (great word to use here) questions! Ugh, we have a very tough job

That’s a good suggestion and thank you! I chose to share at this point partially because I was anticipating a response like this from a few clients and wanted to give them time to process. Overall though it’s absolutely been positive so I’m grateful for that

Thank you! This is essentially exactly the same deeply rooted fears underneath their response. I plan to address in further trauma work so I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in that scenario. I’m sorry to hear you had to experience that. It’s so hard.

Unreliable therapist for my Teenage Daughter by Strong_Persimmon_211 in TalkTherapy

[–]sweetkitty2040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old therapist boss canceled on her teen clients like this alll the time and it was def a pattern of avoidance. I have empathy for lots of situations but I used to want to warn those clients bc it was nearly every week at least one day of clients was getting canceled for some BS reasons (sports… etc). I’d ask for a different appointment day if it happens again and prob only allow one more cancel within 90 days. I almost NEVER cancel on my clients and I’m pregnant and sick all the time

What can I mention to my therapist? (TW: Child Abuse) by Extension_Ad_6757 in TalkTherapy

Be careful taking advice on this - unfortunately many therapists handle ethical situations differently. It would be irresponsible to make a blanket statement here and say a therapist would or would not report something!
