run into a client in the toilet paper section during the pandemic
client notices you strategical masking a yawn and now you have to terminate and move away forever
your dog or cat sneaks up behind you during a virtual session and you don’t notice until your client says so
leaning in b/c you think kid client is getting emotional and they sneeze in your face
teletherapy session ends and you go right back into bed/the couch
offered to start therapy with a mediation or deep breathing because you needed it
lost track of how many notes there are to catch up on
clients cancel every time you have to do teletherapy because “it isn’t real therapy” but expect their same spot to be there for them when you can do in-person again
zoom session and you accidentally adjust you chair and drop down 6 inches
Emotional whiplash and temporary amnesia about how you *really* feel about responding to COVID safely from sitting with people on opposite sides all day
being on the midst of burnout that you’re contemplating other jobs you’d excel at WHILE in session with a client.
connection issues on telehealth
you say something you think is really profound and the client stares at you blankly before saying, “sorry my internet cut out, what were you saying?”
“used our clients words” as an opportunity to cuss in therapy
your client’s face freezes mid-crying in virtual session focused on crisis intervention
about to pee your pants on a telehealth call so “accidentally hang up” so you can pee, call back the client and blame it on “technical difficulties.”
imposter syndrome
tears and (snot licking) during session but its telehealth, no tissues.
have client stand up in virtual session to reveal either 1) pajama pants 2) bathing suit bottoms 3) or no pants
client mentions where they work, places they go and people they know-- and suddenly you’re one degree of separation
looked at the clock 42 minutes into a session and realized only 3 minutes have passed
wrote some variation of "processed Covid19 stressors and socio-political events" in notes
came up with a clever (or not so clever) way to cover up a yawn
Google a worksheet/intervention in session while on telehealth
