@drjdbarton: There are a lot of misconceptions about therapists, so as a therapist, I thought I’d clear a few things up. Let me know if you want a part 2! #therapytok #therapyhumor #therapist
I told my therapist that I had my interview for grad school at the beginning of session and waited until the last 10mins to tell her I actually already got accepted… she threw a feelings pillow at me😂

As a licensed therapist my family members will sometimes throw out digs about like “you’re not my therapist” or my mom says I’m saying buzzwords when I say the word boundaries or whatever

Therapy can easily become an isolating profession, as contrary as that sounds.

When I have a day where I see 8 clients I have to go home and lay on the floor in silence for at least 30mins before I can speak to anyone else 😅

Yes, I don’t even know one other therapist in real life lol. Also yes to the no shock and also I want to laugh when clients say, “So tmi but..” I’m like what’s tmi isn’t that why we’re here? 🤣

As a social worker I very much relate to the annoyance of being held to a higher standard in terms of how I respond to conflict in my personal life simply because of my profession

A misconception I encounter a lot in my SUD clinic is that I don’t have a mission to target your trauma as fast as possible, or pick at your PTSD without your consent and make you cry. I get ppl all the time who are like “I don’t want to talk to a therapist but they made me.” and then they vent for 45 mins instead and feel fine after.

Listening to 6 to 8 people a day and group therapy, I’m pretty much nonverbal when I go home. My weekends are sacred alone time to recover

As an LCSW in PP who’s spent time at CPS, hospice, and under funded schools with extreme poverty I have absolutely learned how to shut it down once I’m done for the day. Otherwise you’d be in a constant state of overwhelm

Sometimes as an ERP therapist my brain will throw me some “what ifs” that I’ve treated clients for.

big time on the whole brain being goo by the end of the day! I sometimes feel like I can't even verbalize complete sentences until I've had a solid 30+ mins where I can be silent & zone out on something mindless lol

Fellow therapist here! This is the first video of yours i have seen and i like the vibe! I see more clients than i would like to for the brain goo issue you mentioned but i also have bills so it is a delicate balancing act for sure.
