My favorite thing is writing characters based off people I know with just enough difference for plausible deniability

Today I used self-disclosure with a client and they excitedly referred to it as my lore

At the Chicago Writer's Conference! Gave two pitches and sat in some sessions. Now it's lunch time! 😀

Qotd: Sometimes you just have to monologue in the Jamba Juice

"The meat mechs we have to pilot are finicky and inconsistent." - Me in a professional email to a client

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

Client is late. I email asking if they can still make it today. Replies "Yes". Still does not show up???

Imposter syndrome doesn't hit often but today a student clinician observed a session and when she asked questions, in my head I was like "damn these are all things I learned at my internship why doesn't she know...OH NO I AM HER INTERNSHIP RIGHT NOW"

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

Ah yes the therapeutic discussion of why having a swing set inside a house is actually the best idea

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

Would it be unprofessional to respond to my supervisor's email about a client "preoccupied with the rise of capitalism" with the "Bitch me too! The fuck!" Gif?

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

Did the therapy session get slightly derailed? Yes but in my defense she said she played a video game so hard her hand hurt and the video game happened to be my favorite series ever

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

Seeing anxiety and racing thoughts in someone's chart only to see later on that they consume 3+ caffeinated drinks a day...like sweet one that may not be the cause but it certainly isn't helping the matter

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

Today I discussed with a coworker who is leaving, a client of hers I'm taking on. Client is described as quirky, broody teen, loves anime and weird anime and horror vids. Coworker said "I don't really know you well but I think you'll be a great fit"... Like damn drag me I guess

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

Was I not fully there for this session? Yeah. Did I still somehow reach a breakthrough? Also yes

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

"I'd be evil too if my parents named me Herbert!" A client explaining a bad movie they watched

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

"Found gay by association by a jury of my peers" was a fun sentence I just wrote

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

Windows open, music playing, and writing about someone kidnapped by the fae 😌

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

Me: What's your favorite thing about your mom? Is she nice? Is she pretty? Is she fun?
Small child: She's none of those things.
Me: 😬

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

Got to use tarot in a session for the first time since I started practicing therapy (at the clients request!!!!)

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

@mad_reynolds Happy birthday love!!! 🎉

[D.C. Williams 🏳️‍🌈 @DCW_Writes]

Not me only realizing during my last session that my laundry pile has been visible the whole time 💀
