I finished working in the nursing home last week. I loved it, it was a great learning experience. I had a week off (which is rare), and started the psych part of this rotation yesterday. I am working with a company that does substance abuse counseling and treatment. I will be spending my time between group therapy sessions, recovery planning, and sitting with a psychiatrist, as many of the clients have mental health issues besides substance abuse.

I sat in on two group therapy sessions yesterday, and it was pretty incredible. The clients are very good with one another and holding each other accountable. They're very honest, and some of the stories they share are heartbreaking. It will definitely be an interesting 3 weeks!
