Just did an intake session, observed by one of the therapists in my building. Afterward, I asked him for feedback and he spent almost ten minutes telling me all the things I did well. Not a single critique (other than he did interject with a clarifying question I missed as I did the intake, which I had asked him to do beforehand). Ten minutes of specific “I liked when you said/did this...” and “It really worked well when you did/said...”
I really, really needed that.
I’m feeling very emotionally full today, in a good way.
I am so grateful to all of you who interact with me on this site, from those of you with whom I’ve only shared a few “<3′s” to those of you I’ve bonded with so closely that we’ve met in person. As lonely as I get in my day-to-day life, I know that you folks are always there for me, and I will endlessly appreciate it and be thankful to you for being the wonderful people that you are.
Thank you, Tumblr friends. <3
I did my first intake assessment today (for our group therapy sessions) and it went really well! The therapist who observed/helped me through it (who I have been observing do intakes) had good things to say about how I did and was also very reassuring, telling me that the areas of improvement I saw in my performance were just a natural part of this being my first intake.
It feels amazing to be in a place where I feel supported and respected. I know, deep in my spirit, that this is where I am supposed to be. <3
I led part of a group today! And it’s only my third week! And I didn’t crash and burn!
Midway through the group the lead therapist (who I positively ADORE) checked to see if I had seen the next lesson taught before (which I had, twice) and then asked if I felt comfortable trying it myself today since we had time. I felt a little deer-in-the-headlights because I would usually like more time to prep, but it ended up working out just fine.
Super nerve-wracking, but apparently I did well. So, maybe I can do this whole social worker/therapist thing...
:)
I get to observe/help facilitate couples therapy tonight! Little nervous, mostly just really excited. :)
I. Love. My. Internship! I am still experiencing some major self-doubt and imposter syndrome, but I don't think I could ask for a better placement. :)
Being sick is awful, but having friends who will bring you food and meds at the crack of dawn is priceless. Wish I didn’t need them (the meds), but so glad I know I can count on them (the friend).

I think I've finally figured it out. You know, what I want to be when I grow up. My entire body is buzzing with electricity and I feel like I could cry tears of mingled relief and happiness.
We'll see where this takes me...
