I don’t have any finals due for two weeks but I’ve already finished one and I’m working on another right now. Thanks, illness!

and no one has showed up.
5 cancellations. Only 2 more people left on the schedule. And I have to stay here until 7 because of supervision.
This means that in an 8 hour work day, MAYBE I’ll see clients for 1 hour.
This is miserable.
I like working,
not simply BEING at work.
Why can’t I just go home and tumbl while in my bed?

One of my clients shared the trauma narrative we’ve been working on together with her entire church (about 80 people). To those of you who aren’t familiar with PTSD or Narrative Therapy, I know this post might not mean much to you, but I’m basically trying to hold back a river of happy feels tears right now.
So proud of her and so thankful for her progress. This is one of those brief, brilliant moments in life when I feel like I actually have purpose.
