How do people see a therapist regularly if you’re expected to be in the office 5 days a week? I know I need to (partially because of work) but work makes it impossible because I can’t leave for >1 hour and there’s nowhere private I can take a Zoom..

This is part of setting boundaries. Explain to your boss you have a standing personal commitment and block the time, including commuting. Discuss with them where you’ll compensate these hours - either stay late that day, or start early, compensate other days. You need this boundary to be productive and do well at work, communicate it.

Note that you don’t need to specify it is therapy if you’re not comfortable with saying, it’s personal time every week at the same time. Also helps if you get slots early in the morning or last thing of the day.

I had a therapist that would do 8am weekly. Was kind of brutal, but worth it. I also sort of liked doing it before all the normal day to day worries kicked in, I felt like it left my mind clearer for the real issues I was there for.

Can you find a therapist close by work? So you can go early in the office and leave early so you can make the appointment and still do your hours.

like

Just say you are going to have a weekly physical therapist appointment. Are they really going to make you show proof of what you’re going to? If your company won’t let you have 1 hr a week for you it’s not a healthy place to be.

This is a good idea. No one can really complain about your having physical therapy. I broke my elbow skiing years ago and stepped out a lot for actual physical therapy and no one said a thing when I was a senior associate. But my firm, even though big law, didn’t care if I left for an hour or more during the day.

You can find therapists who have weekend appointments.

Pre-covid I had a weekly appointment at 7PM

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.
