Hi! I went to the hospital today and was diagnosed with Flu B. I’ve been feeling unwell since last Thursday, and yesterday I felt so bad that I couldn’t sleep, which is why I decided to go in today.

The doctor gave me only two days of rest, but my symptoms (body aches, headache, etc.) feel quite severe. I’m not sure if I’m being overly sensitive, but I’m wondering whether that amount of rest is typically considered sufficient—especially since I work with people of all ages.

I will take my medication and rest as advised, but I’m concerned it may not be enough. I’d really appreciate your thoughts on this.

Hi everyone,

I’d appreciate some perspective on something I’ve been reflecting on.

I’m an early career therapist, and I’ve been working with a client for a few weeks. Recently, they reported some improvement in symptoms and overall outlook.

In session, I brought up the idea of possibly spacing sessions to support independence and asked for their preference. They agreed to try alternating weeks.

Now I’m second guessing whether I introduced that too early, especially since the progress might still be somewhat recent.

For those with more experience:

•⁠ ⁠How do you decide when it’s the right time to start spacing sessions?

•⁠ ⁠Do you typically bring it up yourself, or wait for the client to initiate?

•⁠ ⁠How do you think about early improvement vs. more stable change?

I plan to check in with the client about how this felt and adjust as needed, but I’d really value hearing others’ perspectives.

Thanks!
