  • Being mindful of their schedule and demands of their day so that they can appropriately manage paperwork and clients without it overflowing into other's sessions.
  • In the moment, in session, it's not about T's worries, it's about being there to help the client with their worries, giving them our full attention and provide them tools to help outside the therapy hour.
thanks stormy I sometimes wonder about whether if some of the T's i've spoken with have ever had there own therapy at all; and for others I know it was a must as part of their training and continued work. Getting the idea good self care is a must for T's to be able to do all they need to do
