Workplace Frustration
Workplace Frustration I don't normally rant about my job because it pays the bills. Lately though, the atmosphere around my workplace has really deteriorated. Therapists are quitting in droves. They are having difficulty hiring replacements. It is my job as a therapist to help my focus on their strengths not their shortcomings. Problem is, I work in a large public sector practice and we are getting increasingly micromanaged and squeezed for every ounce of time we can give without getting so much as a thank you from our administrative team in return. My morale has been suffering greatly. I called my boss a micro-manager last week and I meant it. I got coached for being "abrasive." That is code speak for shut up and be a doormat. I'm starting to experience an attitude of indifference and burn-out. I feel myself getting angry with all of the changes we are being forced to make with not so much as a thank you. While I detest the micromanagement and politics that go along with working for a public sector agency, I love the work I do with my . I know and feel that this is the work that I was meant to do. I see the the positive impact of my work with my when they are thriving and no longer need therapy. I am currently struggling with finding the courage I need to go into a solo counseling practice. It's intimidating starting a business being a single parent. I've gone through all of the pros and cons. It makes a lot of sense to do this. There are a lot of hoops and red tape I must go through to make this happen. (Updating insurance panel information, acquiring billing software etc.) I've got some amazing allies who've branched out into private practice that I am leaning on to help guide me. One has even suggested an affordable office space in his building. I have a feeling these next few months are going to be seriously life changing. Stay tuned. I can't wait to let you know how it turns out. |

Change can be frightening, but, change is inevitable... You can either be swept away by change or you can be the change agent. It sounds as though you already have put quite a bit of thought about the change. You will do well.

Partnering up with another, or a few therapists might lessen the risk, and stress of opening up a solo practice... just a thought. Thoughts from the Garden...
