The Journey Continued—Toward A Just and Equitable Practice

Abstract

When I first began to imagine who I might be as a therapist, I thought about with what sort of population I would want to work and with what population I would not want to work. At the time that I was about to go out on my first practicum experience, my son was entering “adolescence.” As a single mother, I worried that, without adequate back-up, I would not be able to handle the stage of storm and stress that I had been studying (Hall, 1904).
