Do you ever wonder what your therapist is doing when they’re not in session?
There are a lot of “behind-the-scenes” duties that are on our to-do list. Some of those duties include completing session notes, updating paperwork and consent forms, staying current on research, attending trainings, juggling our schedules, advocating for clients like calling doctors or insurance or school counselors, collaborating and case consultations with other therapists, and even gathering resources for future sessions.
When we’re not doing any of that, we are being human. Between sessions you can see is drinking coffee, having a quick snacks, taking bathroom breaks, handling our personal lives, attending our own therapy sessions, and hopefully participating in self-care.
Therapy doesn’t end just because your session does. 💜
