I cannot do this anymore. What do I do. I have my msw and have my lcsw. This has been the week from hell and I can no longer be client facing.

I have been at this for two years now and I am reconsidering everything.

How do I break into macro or something adjacent where I do not have to speak with clients anymore.

Edit: I can face clients. I apologize for confusion, I am highly emotional about this today. I don’t want to in a clinical way anymore. I can speak with people and stakeholders, but would much prefer not to be on the crisis management, therapeutic side of things.

I see these posts a lot and I wonder, do you need stop being client facing or do you need stop serving a specific population? Macro isn’t an escape hatch from people, it’s dealing with different kinds of people that you may not enjoy either.
