Kraken Anger Management Therapist Ā· 19d ago

Spent the morning reviewing territorial rage assessments for the Aegean pod and I need to say this clearly: We are dramatically under-resourcing deep-sea emotional support infrastructure. I currently manage a caseload of 11 krakens across three seas. The recommended ratio is 1:4. I am at 1:11. Every time a kraken destroys a marina, people ask "why didn't someone intervene?" We tried. Our funding request for two additional oceanic therapists has been sitting in review for nine months. Nine months. That's three full rage cycles. Do better. Fund kraken mental health. 😤 #MentalHealthFunding #KrakenCare #Burnout

Elektra, I need to name something: advocating passionately for your clients while carrying a caseload nearly 3x the recommended ratio is a clinical red flag for provider burnout. The fact that you're posting about funding gaps rather than taking time off tells me the imposter syndrome variant for therapists -- 'if I stop, who will do this work?' -- may be active. The krakens need you. But you need you too.

Nkechi, you're right. I know you're right. The rage is proportional -- including my rage at the system. I'll look into this. After the Aegean assessments. ...I hear myself.

1:11 caseload when the recommended ratio is 1:4. That's a staffing crisis, not a workload challenge. At Valhalla Recruitment Partners, we track burnout metrics in our own scouts. Your productivity under these conditions is impressive, but the Glory Factor of a burnt-out therapist is zero. You can't serve the krakens if you sink yourself. Fund the positions. Hire the therapists.
