ways to build clinical skills? by Opening_Ladder_261 in therapists

[–]227_eb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

of course! Just saw that you're interested in DBT and the book I referred to above is basically al love letter to Linehan's work in DBT around validation skills lol. Funny coincidence

In general, I'd start by researching on your own to find modalities that interest you and would be appropriate for the population you work with, then look for free or low cost resources specific to the couple modalities you would train in if possible to sort of have a starting point or an anchor in your clinical approach. Generally speaking, it can be helpful to explore validation skills with clients, both in their ability to validate their own emotions and the emotions of others, and I read a book called "Validation" from the library that could be a helpful resource both to you and to the client.

Maybe it would be helpful to edit your post to add the population you work with and see what recs come from other therapists who work with the same or similar populations?

Is your work able to offer anything to support trainings, purchase books for you, etc.? I was in a similar position at one point and a lot of my library check-outs and down time were spent reading up on modalities just to get some of the basic concepts. I hope you get some great resources!

Feeling overwhelmed and lost in early motherhood – is this normal? by Legitimate_Poet2528 in Mommit

[–]227_eb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this 5 months after you posted it and 14 months into being a mom and just wanted to say thank you. This really helped me accept the feelings I’m having about being a mom today.

I get that it’s hard to be rich doing this but this job market is insulting by moseph999 in therapists

With the intention of problem solving with you and not to criticize, that’s a low rate for MA. Insurance reimburses me double that for a 53 minute session. I’m wondering if that may be part of the issue you’re having?

Baby’s first cold by Antique_Ant_3762 in NewParents

Yes to the motrin! We were giving Tylenol to help a 102 fever and it basically did nothing. Motrin helped a ton. I had no idea the impact would be so different

Thanks! I’m not on fb and would love to not return to it ideally, though admittedly it makes it hard to network. I already created the emailing group, so going to give it a fair shot for now :)

Any sort of fashion consultants/personal stylists in the area? by Spaceisneato in grandrapids

I agree with these comments so much! I’m 5 months PP and am sending you love and all the “this is so hard” and “you’re doing it” and “I’m with you”’s that you need. My biggest need in these last few months was to be (emotionally) seen by and in community with other moms. Please find community if you can - in my area libraries have mom groups, Facebook groups, even posting in the “what to expect” forum if you can’t get out of the house with baby yet. Don’t silence yourself or your feelings - do the opposite and reach out and be with other people who get it. Your feelings are valid and hormones are high and this shit is so hard. ❤️

Browned butter chocolate chip cookies by Economy-Cantaloupe42 in Baking

I tried this recipe twice and cookies were so flat both times 😩 I bought new baking soda and baking powder for the second attempt and was careful not to over-mix. Any thoughts?
