Tashkent Medical Academy a day in the life of a Therapeutist

Fridays (rollover day, consultation, and business) - On Fridays I might have a couple of sessions and catch up on some administrative stuff I wasn't able to complete during the week. Most Fridays I'm also participating in a professional consultation group. This is where I meet with other therapists in a small group setting. We discuss challenges in our work, get feedback from one another on some interventions that might be helpful, and learn about what's worked for other therapists and individuals they have served. When we discuss any individuals we might be working with, we are very careful to protect confidentiality, make sure not to give away any identifying information, and speak in general/vague terms (again, to protect privacy at all costs). Consulting is a very important part of being a therapist. We all have blind spots and gaps of knowledge, so getting feedback from other professionals helps in areas we might be stuck on.

Aside from all of the clinical stuff I've discussed, Friday is also a day for not-so-fun business stuff. Running a private practice involves having to do all of the stuff that comes along with running a business. This includes paying the bills, managing the books, working on the website, replying to emails, and doing things to keep a strong presence in the community.

• Even though the heart of this work lies within the time I'm spending face-to-face with the people I aim to serve, you can see that it's more involved than the time I spend with my "therapist hat" on.
• If you're looking to start therapy for yourself, I hope you'll check out our group of skilled therapists who work a broad range of areas, such as: treating anxiety and depression, helping people who are struggling with grief, resolving trauma, improving relationships, and more.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTINTION
