I’m the same way. If I could start work at 5:00 a.m. and be off by noon or 1:00 p.m. I’d be happy. It’s just hard to find people who want to do therapy at 5:00 a.m. 😂
You know, actually I’m in Oregon, so I hadn’t thought about the fact that if I did telehealth with people who lived across the country I might be able to start at 5:00.
I’d love it if therapy hours were before and after normal work hours. On Betterhelp they are, but I gave up on it after a couple tries when I couldn’t find a good fit.
I’m allowed to set my own hours, so if it was telehealth I could theoretically do late night or morning appointments if I want to. I just haven’t really thought about that. When I eventually have my own practice. I really do want to have weekend hours and evening hours, before I worked with a lot of parents and that was one of the biggest issues was when do you have time for therapy when you’re chasing a toddler. Or like I remember when I would have friends who worked as bartenders, they wished that they could do therapy after they got off work but sometimes that would be two or three in the morning.
Yep, I feel sympathy for people who work evening/night/swing shifts. I only did it sporadically but had no responsibilities at the time. Maintaining that for decades seems like it could be pretty difficult, especially for people with young families or who enjoy being active in their communities.
Ha, I could not be more the opposite. I want to be 75% done with my day by 1pm. I’d rather them be at 8am

They are out there, in other time zones.
Indeed, move to Alaska then do therapy exclusively for east coasters.
Or Hawaii and you can do the entire US.

Is there some kind of rule that you can’t do any work until the stand-up?
No of course not. It’s just structurally kinda weird. Not the end of the world obviously
