Checking in with Katherine MacLeod

There's a lot of like expectations of working with teens that it's like the hardest population to work with but I didn't, so I went in with that thought that I'd heard from other people but I really haven't felt that while being here. I work with a lot of teen girls, that's kind of my client load here so what I've seen a lot of is a lot of anxiety, a lot of social difficulties, social anxieties. kind of difficulties with school but also with that population I've seen a lot of just like working on confidence in session and a lot of my clients have the goal to increase their own confidence. I think social media has played a part so kind of working through that and detangling some of those things has been really fulfilling but a lot of what I've talked about with clients. What I find myself most often doing is working with slime. Making slime is something I'd never and some of my clients were really into it so that I think really brings people out of their shell. I have felt so like amazed and lucky and grateful to be a part of each client's journey specifically in the sense where they have this person. I'm not on my phone, I'm not thinking about anything else, I'm not talking about myself either like 100 % invested in them and diving into their world A lot of my clients or just kids in general right now aren't getting as much and I can see how impactful it is and it has just been so, I have felt so grateful to be that person to someone and I've really seen how impactful it can be in someone else's life. So that has been incredible for me in my experience.
