Today was the second day of training at Hope. This was with the admin director who is in charge of getting things set up with email, payroll, building entry codes, etc. They have an app where the office staff can communicate with one another. Every time they schedule you with a new person or when your patient arrives in the front office they let you know. I liked that part because it eliminates the awkward watching and waiting.

I have this eagerness to start seeing people. It’s going to be awhile before I’m up to a full load because 1) it takes time to build it, and 2) There are currently only 1 1/2 days I can schedule since the office spaces are full. It could’ve been a full day except I told the Thrive supervisor I would keep space open for if I ever needed to fill in for group. I might end up needing to get over that. I still miss group and wish I could be there.

He said if I miss group that much then that’s a sign I should start one. I could use his group room if I wanted. For whatever reason this didn’t soothe things and only made it feel worse. I printed out a new form to begin tracking hours for my next level license that would allow me to practice independently. You have to have a total of 3,360 supervised hours, with 1,920 being direct client ones. She said to count everything.
