I saw my first client today! Obviously, I can't give away too much because that'd be a serious violation of HIPAA, but what I can say is that it actually went pretty well. What I hadn't anticipated, however, was how long the work post-session would be, yikes! You spend so much time and energy preparing, lesson planning, gathering materials, and nervously anticipating for this moment. Once it's passed, you feel amazing and accomplished and then all that adrenaline that was driving you vanishes, and swoosh, now comes the crash. Or lull. However you wanna put it.
But don't crash too fast, oh no. Unfortunately, you can't celebrate because you have SOAP notes to submit, transcriptions, collecting & double checking data, all on top of papers to be written and articles to be read/studied in preparation for quizzes for other classes tomorrow. And more specifically in my case, I already have to write the next session's lesson plan. I was just thinking how nice a nap would be or how therapeutic knitting a couple more tentacles on my cuttlefish sounds... but not tonight. Oh grad school--what have I gotten myself into? :p
