#counseling practice
When someone asks me about working mental health in a men’s prison, I’m just like…
When I have two single clients that I want to set up so I schedule their sessions back-to-back and hope they meet, I’m subtly just like…
When I’m facilitating a group where everyone talks over each other, it’s just like
When my supervisor asks me how my client notes are coming along but I’m behind by a month, I’m just like
When a practicum student asks me for clinical advice, I’m just like
When its the end of session and a client starts saying “oh by the way…” while avoiding eye contact, I’m just like
When a supervisor is sensitive in giving feedback, I’m just like
When a client is struggling with a manic episode and talking too fast, I interrupt and am just like,
Trying to have a termination session with an attached client is just like,
When my client starts disclosing personal problems in the hallway on the way to the counseling room, I try changing the subject quick like,
When a client makes an absolute statement, I’m just like
When a client has a nervous laugh and I’m trying not to mirror them so I’m just like,
When I’m trying too hard to show empathy in session, I’m just like
