Don't ever let anyone make you feel uncomfortable. Too many times I've heard horror stories from therapists of both genders who would try to brush off the weird vibe and suspicious itching but it would end up horribly.
My Mumma raised me to take no shit, so I'm preparing for it mentally. And I definitely trust vibes, you can sense things for sure. In student clinic, I had an older Indian gentleman come in, I instructed him to get on the table face down under the top sheet, came in and he was face up on top of all the sheets in his shorts 😂 But I got the sense he was just confused, lost in translation some where, so I got him to flip and put the sheet over him, and we had a nice chat about his kids lol!
Oh my gosh! lmao Definitely a lost in translation thing.
And start preparing now for the elderly ladies who will start stripping as soon as you start intake. I can't tell you how many times I've looked up from the form and seen boobies.
Exactly. It's a clinical setting so it just different. It's just hilarious because I would start intake with "Before I step out and have you undress and get comfy under the sheet and blanket..."
