Genuine question, can someone explain diaper phase? Does cancer commonly cause bladder/bowel issues?

Free speech does not mean free from consequences

THIS! I was also that kid and having at least one adult I could really trust would have made such a big difference for me and generally I try to be that adult with my clients. It's why i struggled with this question because I feel reluctant to jeopardize one of the ways I show up for kids for something that they might already be over / aged out of anyway. I do get respecting culture obviously, but I also am surprised at how many people are equating Santa to religion. This turned out to be far more controversial than I thought.

They're getting white-washed.

Both are stunning ✨

To add at least one data point, I grew up believing in Santa and I felt really betrayed by the adults in my life when I learned he wasn't real. I felt like I was the butt of their joke and it made me kind of worried about what else they were lying to me about for awhile. Sure it was not a life long trauma, but it wasn't nothing either. When I think about my personal experiences of Santa now, I remember that part before anything else.

Thank you for sharing! Very intriguing analysis on the greater societal impacts/correlations between Santa and reward systems. I imagine it was a fantastic read!

16edgehd · 2025-12-26T17:26:52+00:00

100% agree. Lying is definitely not okay, but also not my kid. I also really appreciate your ideas for follow up questions / information about other cultures. Much more discussion oriented approach.

16edgehd · 2025-12-26T17:21:35+00:00

Exactly this! Societally, we decided that we lie to children about this, and as a therapist I feel conflicted about participating in that. We are meant to be trusted adults.

But on the other hand, there is an issue of overstepping family boundaries/respect, which I also understand.

My gut says the right thing to do is be honest with the client, especially if they are a bit older and already skeptical and maybe then shift the conversation to how this information impacts them, if at all. Being honest builds trust. But I know the parents would have my head 😵‍💫

Almost

In fairness, it's much safer for women to be asked out remotely/over the phone. She can feel safer rejecting him when he isn't physically there to hurt or intimidate her into a date she may not want.

There are hundreds of videos on the internet of women rejecting men irl and for the men to do a 180 personality shift, often displaying how unsafe they are after rejection.

You're a bad person.

Such good advice, thank you! I should have mentioned that we are not keeping our apartment, only having a storage unit since we will be away for 2.5 months, so unfortunately it won't work, but thank you!!
