Your mental health and work/life balance matters. I used to sacrifice everything for work because I cared about my clients & wanted them to have consistency. But coming to work burned out will only cause harm. Take care of yourself, you deserve at least this.⁠

I hated role play in college...Part of it was my own shyness and imposter syndrome... As a practicing therapist now, I realize how valuable those moments were - no matter how cringey. Practice really is the best way to improve your skills. So even though it's uncomfortable, it will ultimately help you along the way!⁠

What are your treatment plan go-to's? I like to reference the Practice Planners Treatment Planner series edited by Arthur E. Jongsma. But no matter what my reference may me, the MOST important one is the client! 😊⁠

Sometimes the most important therapy sessions are ones learning skills, building motivation and consistency, and practicing... We don't have to have a *gasp* session every week. The ordinary is just as important.⁠

Professional clothing...Some love it, some hate it. In social work, it's a mixed bag, including with my own work. Some days I dress in jeans, other days I'm fully suited.⁠

Getting my notes done on time is my achilles heel, even though I know the importance of it & how essential notes are to treatment & support. These are 4 strategies I use to make sure I'm staying on top of my paperwork. What helps you?⁠
