Who knew getting a job would be so much work?
~.: So after a mini anxiety attack at the frustration of not being able to get past introductions for the first group meeting, I've resigned myself into a state of "reconsideration." I'll still continue to work on the group curriculum and see if I can squeeze five and a half more sessions out of it, and get beyond asking the profound and thought-provoking question of "who are you and how do you know?" but I'm really hoping I can make a final decision about my feelings for this job by Monday, since the following Monday all of this group stuff is due, so that Marianne's (the social worker) assistant can start advertising it for me. I'm just so nervous about putting this together. I have no problem leading a group- it's putting every necessary thing into it that's making me nervous. These people are depending on me. They're paying $210 for this, so that they can learn about themselves and learn how to interact with other people. I have no training for that. The women's support group I'm not so nervous about, because that's less teaching and more "let's come in and sit down- we're all women, we're all supporting each other." No planning necessary.
~.: In other news, it may not even work anyway, because her payment is a little sketchy. Technically, I can't be "given fees" for "therapeutic services rendered" unless I am licensed. I'm not licensed, but I'm getting 20% of whatever these people cough up to Marianne. So are they paying me or is she? I'm getting their fees- they're paying a fee for the services I'm rendering, and unless I'm totally misunderstanding this statement:
The requirements for licensure provided for in this chapter shall not be applicable to:
1.

her paying me would be unethical. I don't need to get caught up in unethical this early in my career, kthx. Maybe that's why I need malpractice insurance. >>;
