I am an awesome clinician

I am an awesome clinician
I am an awesome clinician

This is my new mantra, in hopes of building myself up as an awesome clinician.

I got an adult client this summer semester, surprisingly. I had adults all last semester. But I just know I'm going to get kids in summer II and the Fall, and ECC and I am going to die then. But maybe it will turn out to be a pleasant surprise. Maybe I'll get an externship in the Fall, then no matter what age group I see, I'll be ok.

My client this summer is a peer, diagnose with TBI. Which reminds me constantly of how any life altering occasion can happen. It humbles me alot, so see the struggles my client goes through. She's only 5 months younger than me. She's also pretty amazing, I admire her spirit and the will she has to work work work to become better. She gets down at times, but not anywhere near at the danger level. She's also a challenge to me clinic-wise. Very high functioning, so I need to find ways to work on what needs to be worked on, and find out exactly what needs to be worked on and how. First high functioning client. Veyr interesting. I find that I rely a lot on her evaluation of how things went/are going. Very interesting.

Hmm...I don't think I've written about this: I volunteered at H.N. here in Mt. Pleasant for a month. It was the best month of clinic here ever! I hardly can say it was volunteering, I learned so much about different kinds of clients, how things work in the office, with other professionals, etc. It was great! I saw a whole variety of clients, you don't get these kinda clients in university clinics. It was interesting to see that.
