Only 5 today and notes up to date. Still haven't learned how to do treatment plans in the new system.
Dogs are staying away most of the time from the diesel areas. At first they were curious about it so always headed right for those areas. Still don't leave them out there alone.
Right or wrong? Deborah can't go to Madame Butterfly this Sunday so she gave me her ticket. I didn't find anyone to take it. One of my clients, Donna, had mentioned a few weeks ago how much she would like to see it. I have seen her off/on the whole time I've been in private practice and weekly for the past year or so. She's in her mid-70s and I have no doubt that we would be friends if I wasn't her therapist. I thought about giving her the ticket but decided against it because of professional boundaries and stuff. She came yesterday and almost immediately brought up the fact that M Butterfly was this weekend. I decided to offer her the ticket. She understands the boundary thing but was so excited to get the chance to go. I'll just meet her there. It's a good thing and I only have a little twinge about it. One of my very long term clients had her final session Tuesday. We were both in tears but it was time. She asked if we could be social media friends and I had to tell her no. The unofficial rule is that you shouldn't have any social relationship with a client for at least a year and no dating one for 2, but preferably never! I tried to be a friend to a client when we lived in South Bend but it just didn't work. She could never see me as anyone but someone there for her and I was never comfortable sharing what was going on with me. I do some self revealing during sessions when I think it is pertinent and may help but therapy is all about them. Therapist/client relationships are unique.
