I'm a therapist in Nashville. I've been a therapist for a year and I'm completely burnt out. My boss hasn't let me have much PTO but I also am thinking I may not want to be a therapist long term.... has anyone else experienced this?

I recently transitioned out of clinical care after treating all through COVID. It’s been wonderful to find another avenue to use by education to help patients. Have you considered looking into other avenues to utilize your training?

I have two job interviews soon for hybrid work. That would allow me to do more self care and have flexibility. I'm interested in teaching.

My close friend is going through this right now. She's so exhausted and burnt out but went to school for it so she isn't sure what else to do. Could you look into teaching or maybe working somewhere more flexible? This year was so hard.

I’m sorry to hear this. You are not alone. Is going part time an option? I agree with the above suggestions. Hope you find something that works for you. All the best

My work doesn't offer part time sadly.

I think it happens more often than you think. You definitely need to advocate for yourself, and take yourself out of the situation if you're feeling this way. You can't serve patients if you can't serve yourself.

Thank you.

Sounds exactly how I feel when I am burnt out. Do you still love being a therapist? It could be you just need to cut back a little.

I think so. I think just burnt out and not supported by my company. I love my clients. So navigating the balance......

Oh wow, I was looking to get into becoming a therapist, are you experiencing burnout because of COVID or what happened?

I don't have a supportive work environment. Covid surely doesn't help. But I blame most of it on my coworkers and boss.

My new manager planned a last minute team retreat in another country w/o including me in the conversation about availabilities to travel…

We’re remote, so people freely work in other places and I had a week trip planned months ago. She decided it’s also the only week “everyone is available” (6 ppl) even after finding out I can’t go, asking me to move my trip. (I cant)

She wont approve my vacation either. I don’t even know how to address this, or is it my fault? It just rubs me the wrong way.

I am thinking of leaving my stable full time job for a contract position (ongoing with no time frame) for a bigger raise (making an exra $20/hour) with a large tech company. I'll still get benefits through Aquent so it's not a huge loss. It just feels risky in terms of being a contractor and the potential for it to end at anytime. Seems like a good opportunity though to get my foot in the door and potentially apply for full time jobs later on
