I don’t understand why more services, especially mental health services, don’t keep expanded hours or shift their hours to later in the day to accommodate their customers. Why stick to the strict 9 to 5 paradigm that reduces the number of people and the amount of time available for treatment and therapy?
Evan J Sanders So much this ^^^ I feel the same way about this, banks, all types of doctor clinics, and dentists. Basically, any business that is crucial enough that customers need to juggle work to attend.
Finally found a therapist with Sunday morning hours, ideal for me. And she’s a badass. And trying EMDR. Is this that “hope” thing I’ve heard so much of?
As a field worker for the company I’m with, this is especially hard for me
Jfc if this isn’t relatable. I have to request days off when I have dr appts.
But don’t you lose money? I’m never paid days off and have no sick leave. No insurance either through my job.
No. They just count it as one of my two days off a week.
I don’t have a fixed schedule, just a 40hr week.
i know that feeling too bloody well! thanks for the post!
Horrendous. I think therapists are now trying online counseling but it’s still difficult. I can’t see myself going to a therapist ever.

Really loving the linework here.

Really! Try to find an after-hours therapist when your employer will find a reason to let you go if they learn you have a mental illness!
I’ve never had a therapist or group session that met on the weekends. It’s a terrible oversight for the entire system.
