where has the time gone...

I seem to have spent most of the day working out my psychotherapy training hours. There is a lot to be said for being better organised. I had to go back over my diaries for the last three years. Fortunately, I keep my diaries. I was a little disappointed by the number of hours that I have accrued. The registration requirement is that I should have at least 500 hours of client contact and 200 hours of supervision. Despite the fact that it seems a bit as if I do nothing but see clients and be supervised, the sad truth is that I still need around 100 hours of client time and 70 hours of supervision. I think this will probably take me about a year to do, if I take on a weekly supervisor. This is an incredibly expensive training, and the spending ain't over yet.

Well, I have tidied up a bit, and I am now going to have a shower before going off for one of my twice weekly therapy sessions. I do draw some satisfaction from the fact that there seems to have sprung up around me a small industry of people willing to help me develop as a person and a therapist...for a small cost.

Yours, in good mental health
