Anyone trying to get out of clinical work? I’m a social worker who has attempted many times at getting out of doing clinical work —- mostly working as a psychotherapist. However, my life circumstances keeps pulling me back to it and I always feel like it’s not me — although everyone and many bosses tell me that I’m clinical although I don’t feel like it at times. I’ve always had that Macro at heart.

Have you looked into management positions for residential programs? I am a LSW, and find that I love this work because of the macro/clinical balance.

It's still partially clinical - but not doing direct therapy /clinical sessions.

I'm a Program Director for a Long Term Structured Residence (LTSR) - but have some the same at lower levels of residential care too (CRR). I'm still involved in some clinical aspects, still get interaction with clients, but am mainly involved in the program management, ie: staffing, building management, budgets, program policies. In my current program I have two therapists and a clinical supervisor below me - but at other levels of residential the clients would have their own outpatient care team.

If you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer!

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
