Pros
Helping the patients through their challenging time.i found it rewarding but was hard bec we as therapist weren’t allowed to speak with those 1:1 who begged to talk w me, but only during group sessions
Cons
For those who are “sensitive”, and can feel/see energy - each floor had a different “charged” energy that in hindsight might not fully be from the patients, but more from the residual stuck energies left behind from when it was a (hourly) hotel. While that might read or sound weird,, if you get it, then this is my way to say stop & consider…. I dunno what’s changed over the years but hoping it’s a better place today bec I was so excited 😆 to work there. I hated getting called out by my director bec a tech or nurse would report when a patient pleaded to talk w me and I’d give him/her the time. I wear told “it’s out of your lane” but umm no- licensed counselor w a masters degree.
