Counselor Okay being by yourself is good you know you get time to relax and take time out and be by yourself as well. Is there anything you could do to bring inside down?

Caucasian Not really

Counselor Not really,

Caucasian I better think of

Counselor No that is fine I think I should say you are doing well you don’t feel low, your anxiety is pretty normal, to be with someone especially during weakened and I should say you do an awesome job and keep up the good work. You go to school and work and your balance and you have a friend you have a family so you have a lot then

Counselor So, do you have anything else that you want to talk about

Caucasian Umm

Caucasian, I worry if I get more hours because one student I see every day from 8 to 3. They say I’m required to do have not been at school they didn’t say anything I have to say anything

So, you will be having one student every year possible 8 to 3. Now they are staying you have 2 students and it is mandatory

Counselor Okay Wow Okay you said that your supervisor hasn’t mentioned do you hear that from someone or you know for sure

Caucasian She is like. hope for that I said I have hope but somewhere I kept canceling and then she was saying well you are mandatory to have another student but I don’t know she forgot or she remembered what I said

Counselor Yeah so you are kind of nervous someone comes to you and say hey you know you have to pick up this client

Caucasian Yeah

Counselor Yeah that can be trustful do you think how long have you been into this job?

Counselor Hmm

Caucasian It will be the first time I will be having the routine like doing

Counselor Right okay

Counselor So would you be nervous to go to your supervisor and have anxiety

Caucasian, I think nervous I would be, it would be like analogy back

Counselor Yes maybe because when you meet supervise everything will be fine like picking client and everything that will happen over the summer or the week that will happen because you have Tuesday to be cool. When you go to the supervisor and ask about having the second client. I mean picking up the second client you are feeling anxiety, try to figure it out. Refresh your thought

Caucasian, I think.

Counselor Okay I think everything your feeling is definitely okay you are full time busy you are working full time working with kids is difficult you know going to school there has to be dare and will to do. and you feel anxiety and all I will definitely promote you to take the time that you should I mean take time to spend it with yourself or penny or your pets. It is something that you will definitely be benefit from so that you can keep moving. Earlier you mention that you have a very good support system would you talk more about that
