June Update
Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time out to visit this blog. This is just an update of what’s been going on behind the scenes in general. First off, I’ve started my job as a Psychotherapist and I enjoy it so far. It’s nice to start doing the work that I’ve been aiming to do since I embarked on this journey. The clients are interesting with their own trials and tribulations and it is a good feel to provide them with any insight that can be provided during our sessions. It’s only been a month so far but I’m up to 5 clients so far and I’m looking forward to getting the max of 20. Obviously I can’t delve into the issues that plague my clients however it's been an eye opening experience so far. Next update is my current job. I plan on leaving my social worker position at the housing agency that I currently work at. I love the people that I work with and I have minimal issues with the clients that are under my care however I’ve grown a level of resentment towards housing in general. That resentment has trickled down into my work ethic and rather than completely doing my clients a disservice, it’s better that I take the time to clean up whatever mess I may have unintentionally caused and leave on high note. It’s one of the unfortunate realities with a high risk/low reward type of job yet at the same time I need to do what’s best for my mental health. In the same fashion, this leads onto the next update. I will be finally seeking a therapist for myself to work out whatever issues that has arose in me during my time within this field. I don’t necessarily hold back when I discuss my frustrations with the work I do but at the same time it would be beneficial to speak to someone professionally to help me process these same frustrations. I have the number of a recommended individual and I will be reaching out to him soon. Lastly I’ve started the podcast and recording the episodes. I’ve been slow in the process and mainly have been making sure to post at least the Monday Motivations that are on the Instagram page. Once I figure out a good schedule to get everything done, I hope to get these episodes out on a regular basis. Keep an eye out for the next episode and the next blog post and please reach out if you have any questions.
