see your private messages , i have asked you something

NickiHijabF
Ayyy, congrats!

I know how difficult it can get and how much work it takes

What approach are you specialised in?
Bleach1444322-25, M
@NickiHijab Aww thank you! Are you one?

CBT and Solution bases are my main theory鈥檚 :)
NickiHijabF
@Bleach14443 oh, nice. Mines integrated so I look at CBT, Person-centred, psychodynamic, attachment and systemic but I'm mostly working from person centred at the moment.

I've gained my accreditation, I'm collecting hours at the moment too.

How many do you need to complete?
MrBrownstone46-50, M
Does dealing with people on here count towards your hours?
Crazywaterspring61-69, M
@MrBrownstone The people here would be an interesting study. Too bad you can't use this site.

Many therapists are Christian based. They don't realize that is what hurt so many people.
GloomyF
@Crazywaterspring There are many christian based therapists? How awful
Crazywaterspring61-69, M
@Gloomy That's why I gave up seeking help. Now I just deal with it.

Congrats!

An advice on the road. If you are treating someonee with PTSD or CPTSD they will by 95% chance feel that logic cognitive solutions focus is like being gaslighted. Few CBT therapists understands how trauma actually works outside papers and will risk retraumatizing the patient.

If you were already aware about this then I salute you for that.

are you a licensed psychologist or counselor? In PA you have to have either a PhD or PsD to license as a psychologist. I only got to a masters and wasn't interested in going on.

@Bleach14443 It's a pretty big accomplishment. You should be very proud.
Bleach1444322-25, M
@originnone Thanks! Worried about the future but hopefully it will be fine
originnone61-69, M
@Bleach14443 Why are you worried?

I was a physicist until I retired, but back in the '90s I got this brilliant idea to change careers and become a therapist. I did it part time at night, but it didn't stick. My current therapist thinks I should revisit it, but I really wasn't very good at it.

Good for you! We need more 馃槉
curiouslady9331-35, F
@Berrycherry We need less. They put negative thoughts and labels into people's minds, when they would be better off finding meaning that means enough that the inevitable suffering of being becomes worth bearing.

Maybe you can help the admins on SW 馃

@Bleach14443 maybe you can help the voice I hear in my head
Bleach1444322-25, M
@ExtremeNext Well I can鈥檛 do sessions or anything but we can chat if you want?
Bleach1444322-25, M
@ExtremeNext Permission to message?
HannahSkyF
You don't have your hours, but have a license?
HannahSkyF
@Bleach14443 intern
Bleach1444322-25, M
@HannahSky No that鈥檚 what you are before you can get your LMHCA you can鈥檛 get licensed with the state till after you get your Masters and after an internship. After all that you can get you鈥檙e LMHCA and then you need 3000 hours and to pass whatever you鈥檙e state requires for you to just have an LMHC license
HannahSkyF
@Bleach14443 is A associate?

You're a brave man. It's not an easy job to cope with.
OogieBoogieF
@Bleach14443 Just make sure you've got something to help you diffuse, like a forum or group for counsellors you can share with .

Pressure builds, and it can be hard to turn off sometimes.
Look after yourself.馃挏
Bleach1444322-25, M
@OogieBoogie Yes ma鈥檃m 馃ズ I will I try my best but you鈥檙e right the pressure does build and support is needed 鉂わ笍 I鈥檒l try my best
OogieBoogieF
@Bleach14443 oh...and stretch 馃槃

Sounds an odd thing, but a good daily body stretch is an excellent way to release. It's also a good indicator to see if we are holding onto any stress.
Especially around our core, back and neck.

Anywho...Good luck 馃憤
Cool. Enjoy your first burnt out
