Congrats! :)
My advice is to continue to stay curious and explore all options for problem solutions to conduct proper interventions
Don’t judge all cases as the same even if it’s similar because every individual is unique with their personalities, purposes, and background
Be authentic, they will feel more connected with you and vice versa
It’s okay to be not sure and learn more to grow
Don’t follow the super hero syndrome or it will eat you up lol
Learn what are your triggers and remember to not take it personally from them when they’re projecting on you as they’re struggling and seeking support
Be present, cliche but truly be present
Practice coping skills before, during, & after work with rough clients sessions
Remember you’re not a fixer, you’re here to help guide them to navigate what they came for
Ask your co-workers on different approaches/methods, styles, experience in the field, and how they build rapport with your targeted population
They will test and try to intimidate you at times, but stay confident and competent
Recording progress is essential and evidence the work was conducted, make sure you capture all your hard work and their progress
Remember your intentions at the beginning and til the end~ you got this!🤗

Congratulations

Learn how to cope and self-care fast

Don't take anything personally

You can't save or fix everyone - they have to see their own problems for themselves.

You are never to far advanced to get certified in other therapeutic techniques like behavioralism

Good luck
