    A Day in the Life of a Mental Heath Counselor

    Preparing for my day as professional mental health counselor takes time. When I am leaving work at the end of a busy day, I always take the time to look at my schedule for the next day. The first thing I do to prepare for my job the next day is to look at my schedule to see with whom I will be meeting with, and the time schedule for my first and last appointment. I familiarize myself with the clients I will be working with, and pull each clients file to refresh myself on our last session. This is necessary for me to prepare for the appointment. It is important for me to be prepared and show my client that I am in tune to what is going on with them. I used to do all this first thing in the morning but I have found that it works better for me if I do it at the end of my day. My being prepared helps me to give the client my full attention and helps the client to gain confidence in my abilities. It helps personalize the session between me, as the counselor, and them as the client.…

While others need to where a bracelet to understand what hiding track marks is like, I physically used to hide my track marks with female concealer for important family events and professional gatherings. While others need to simulate “using” ice cubes at their places of work, I was sneaking away to bathrooms to inject heroin, and on one occasion,…
