PEMS
Physically: I almost fainted during process group today. My heart is rebelling.
Emotionally: frazzled
Mentally: Drained
Spiritually: Lost
This is the check-in we do in process group every morning. My day in a ledger:
+I got to work on time
-I had to observe in process group today in order to learn how to set up a proper crucible after the guys railroaded me friday.
+The guys got their just rewards in that the therapist I brought in m place is super strict. They instantly were unhappy. (petty, yes. But still satisfying after Friday. They needed a good cop bad cop experience in order to induce them to behave properly the next time I take over.)
-Nearly passed out.
+The guys made it clear that they considered me the primary/trusted therapist over the real therapist I brought with me and yet still did the work with the other therapist.
-One of the guys called me sweetheart when he left the group. Patronization is the bane of my existence right now.
+ The other therapists consider me enough of one of them to ask me to lunch even when my supervisor isn’t there.
- I ran into my ex at lunch.
+ I had my first truly successful session with my client. He worked hard. Showed up on time which he never does. I really needed this after last week.
- I spilled bleach on one of my two pairs of nice work pants. Which means I’ll be wearing more dresses and skirts until I find the time to go shopping. I dont know if dresses or skirts are really allowed at the center, but I think they are generally a bad idea since all my work right now is done with male clients. Plus they are generally less comfortable and I hate hose.
+ Two members of the therapist team told me that I’d be a great therapist. This means alot since they have let two interns go in the two months I’ve worked there.
