The biggest difference is my confidence. I was very insecure in my skill level. I had little training on how to support folks with severe mental health conditions, and had been ‘winging it’ as best I could with the training I had, which was incredibly intimidating. I was terrified of causing harm and saying the wrong thing. The boost in confidence supported my growth in knowing that I can integrate multiple modalities and theories to fine-tune my client’s experience in a way that supports them best. My insight and awareness for myself and my clients is what feels the most different now. – Jessy B
