My Airbnb for 14 people just got cancelled I’m 🪦💔 cannot find anything for comparable price or location.

I feel like all of my socials are inundated with therapy related stuff, either self help related pages or social media therapists. I know this is just my algorithm because this is my profession and the information I tend to interact most with, but wow it can get exhausting. I often take long breaks from social media because I find all the varying thoughts and opinions to really grate on my already debilitating imposter syndrome.

Im also finding it really challenging to market my private practice lately, and I’m beginning to get a sense that the only way to get new clients is to develop a social media presence. Problem is I have no desire to have a social media presence as a therapist and actually find it to be generally concerning and borderline unethical in some respects. I thankfully have a solid caseload right now, but rarely get referrals and fear I may have to turn to social media in the future to get more clients. It just feels so icky to me. And random but whenever therapists on social media make these blanket statements about how they work with clients etc I just think about what if one of their clients saw that and how would that make them feel. It just seems to add a really weird unnecessary layer to things.

Just needed to get that out. Thanks for reading!
