my fellow therapists…you don’t have to have group practice goals or even private practice goals. I teach, supervise, consult, facilitate workshops and see maybe 5 clients a week. I’ve done my 10 client days, never again
mind you, my child is w/me and also looking at her like “what the fuck?” & I believe she thinks she was innocently helping but unaware the racism was jumping out
“Oh I just wanted to help you. Ppl tend to come to this line w/30 things & it moves slowly”. I said “I have 8 things & don’t need help, thanks.” I took my card out to pay & she GRABS MY CARD & tries to take it out of my hand
I snatch it away & say “I can pay by myself” and she looks at me like I’m crazy. She’s like “I was just trying to help”. I said “no, thank you. I’m fine”
we don’t talk enough about being the child your mom doesn’t have to worry about & how that means you’re never asked “how are you?” “how is work?” “what do you need?”
