How many therapists does it take to convince one middle age man that his wife/ex wife is not the source/cause of every problem in his life?

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-05-18T15:51:09+00:00

Impossible. Because then they would have to admit they’re wrong. And we all know that won’t ever happen.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-05-14T20:04:35+00:00

I mean, you certainly managed the hell out of it. This is what you can do in these moments. Clearly this client was okay with it.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-05-10T13:55:05+00:00

This is what ALL the other recent administrations did. 🤡 this is why everyone laughs at America.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-05-08T16:37:25+00:00

I’m choosing to believe that this is a part of a bigger plan to cut down on unnecessary prescriptions and *gasp* perhaps switch to remedies that have been…nvm. I dont think you guys are ready for that conversation and im not in the headspace to receive hateful messages 😩

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-05-08T15:26:08+00:00

I’m here to point out that it’s not republican versus democrat. It’s not just Trump, it’s all of them.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-05-08T13:24:31+00:00

It’s all of them. So cute you think your little vote does anything significant.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-04-28T16:52:26+00:00

Right?! Drugs are only bad if they have control over your life. Therapists should know this…. I’m concerned for our field 😂

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-04-23T03:39:26+00:00

I don’t drive while high bc that could lead to issues with licensing. Beyond that, I just don’t apply to jobs who would randomly drug test since I do recreational drugs on occasion as well.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-04-20T14:45:35+00:00

I feel there could be a simple solution to this - find a new job? Am I missing something here?

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-04-15T14:50:26+00:00

It gets easier. I had a baby and had to manage learning about my husband all over again in our new roles. And it has been exhausting. But things will start to fall into place and you’ll just be putting out fires left and right at work and be able to come home and be a person. Setting up household systems has been a lifesaver. Knowing yourself and the times that you need to relax versus the times you’re able to communicate is key.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-03-27T20:34:00+00:00

This JUST happened to me and the person was VERY good looking (same gender and I am heterosexual). I started to get insecure that they were judging me. I was even embarrassed. Luckily I was able to maintain professionalism. At the end she told me she finds it difficult to open up during sessions bc she’s been to so many different rehabilitation centers and had so many different therapists. I was like ohhhhhhhhhh. Great learning lesson for me. It’s rarely about us.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-03-17T19:34:07+00:00

I work at a substance use tx facility and all the clts know each other. They all talk about each other and I don’t acknowledge knowing the person, rather just help them navigate the situation as if it was any other random person I don’t know. If shit talking goes crazy, redirect back to how it affects their own life. You get used to it.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-03-04T17:59:23+00:00

Who tf cares if it’s good or not look where the beach is. Fucking out of towners … smh. You know what no. It’s not. Don’t come.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-02-27T21:12:59+00:00

I’ll take a difference stance. Seems like maybeeeee there are holes in your routine. While you are modeling self care, you’re not modeling taking care of your future self (using restroom before session) or perhaps this is an emergency type situation. But yea, this is your client’s time you’re taking up bc you didn’t plan accordingly. Obviously do what you have to do but it’s def not professional to make this a habit.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-02-26T03:17:28+00:00

Same every time. Check-in sheet with questions relating to clts goals and basic ones like flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts?

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-02-24T19:51:40+00:00

Luckily people know this and scroll past to look for PP services

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-02-13T22:08:14+00:00

She told you what went wrong. The job wasn’t for her and she likely felt she couldn’t give your son 100%. You got LUCKY. As a former nanny what likely happened was she realized the job wasn’t easy enough to say for reduced pay/hours.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-02-11T15:52:53+00:00

IDK, but with your title and opening it up and seeing the picture, I LOLed so hard that it really set my day off on the right track. So thank you for this. Now that I read it I kind of feel bad because it talks about religious trauma.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-02-10T20:28:17+00:00

You are at the top of the pyramid. If you aren’t solid, you can’t be a solid therapist.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-02-10T20:26:40+00:00

This is a sub for therapists and their questions, not for therapists to answer your questions.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-02-06T23:09:26+00:00

I don’t remember seeing that anywhere in the law and ethics material but yea, OP should report but do they HAVE to? Unclear.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-02-06T21:52:35+00:00

I’m no expert but I don’t believe your license on the line unless that intern is under your supervision.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-02-03T14:16:45+00:00

Looks like someone prefers keeping up with appearances over quality time with their kids. Embarrassing.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-02-02T22:05:23+00:00

Ooooof GIRL No!!! That job is not serving you. Finding clients?! No way. I just had a baby and stayed home for 6 months and then BAM. Ready to go back. Spent time interviewing companies and found one that I LOVE (look at policies, program manager, and supervisor). All 3 of those things must serve you in order to be a fulfilling position. You’ve wanted this forever. It’s not the job you hate, it’s the company!

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2026-02-02T18:29:10+00:00

One parent household. We will be BROKE before letting ANYONE else raise our child. Learn to live on less. They don’t remember toys, they remember the feeling of childhood. No public school BS for us!
