I have no memory of them.

I actually enjoy it. I always knew how to present clinical and build rapport with partners. I get to know the insurance case managers well enough that they tend to be more willing to provide more authorization than sometimes they would. I never felt I was a good fit as a practicing clinician, but I'm still helping people fight a system stacked against them.

I'm an old punk, so I like fighting authority.

Fight with insurance companies to make sure people get coverage for their chemical dependency and mental health treatment. Prior to that I worked in criminal defense for 5 years.

Burnout is a real issue and the reason I quit working as a therapist.

Definitely not the entire field. But those who are in it for their own vices are not uncommon enough.

I had a coworker who hung himself in his office right before meeting his clients. I had to take on his old caseload and do what I could to help his clients cope with this.

The mental health field is full of professionals who become therapists in order to help others, but fail to take care of themselves.

Under appreciated band.

Depends how much you love Ayn Rand. He grtd i suffer able about it starting around book 5 and it just gets worse from there.

Also, the pattern of "horrible thing" that is solved with new spell that was banned gets painfully predictable.
