Lately, I’ve been having some difficulty finding the joy in blogging, so I decided to try something new to get back into it! With the help of the internet, I have a list of fun questions that people might want to ask a therapist. For the next few months, I’ll take some time to answer these and give you a little insight into my mind as a therapist.

First question is… *drumroll please*… Do therapists ever have days when they just don’t feel like listening to anyone?

I can’t speak for all therapist, but THIS therapist absolutely has days when I don’t feel like listening to anyone. I will clarify, though, that I feel like that on occasion leading into therapy sessions, but not DURING therapy sessions.

My answer might be different than other therapists, as I’m pretty introverted and I recharge by being alone and not talking to anyone. So when I haven’t had much “introverting” time, I have days where I’m not looking forward to putting on my therapist hat and talking to people. But I do it anyway and once the session starts, I’m engaged and all in! Even on the days I’m feeling drained, I still find joy and purpose in my work!
