I searched for this topic (beyond the ones that just pop up when you write a new thread) and I found nothing specific to this concern.
So, I have been in the field for a while and I have realized that I do NOT like continuous clients. I don't like hearing their weekly stories. I do not like being on call for the same people.
I did my internship on an inpatient unit which I suppose is the equivalent of treating and streeting. I think I like that... I think I want that... Maybe just testing/evaluation/diagnosing is my thing...
I never once said I wanted to be a psychotherapist. I told all of my professors, "I don't want to do therapy" and they looked at me like I was a foreign creature.
Does anyone else feel this way?
