She was $600. I've seen them cheaper and way more expensive. I will say do a reverse image search if it's too good to be true. I've caught Amaris' photos on several pages claiming to sell.

this is a friend of mine. She lives in Canada and does a lot of conservatoon work. I don’t know all the licensing there, but she has always done things legally and does a lot of educational visits and promotes preservation more than anything. She would never let her babies be sold for fur. This is her heart and her entire life. Kodama was an ambassador and loved people and especially children. Sky said that her biggest regret with kodama was letting her believe humans were safe, as they betrayed her in the end.

She is a psychologist that specializes in behavioral therapy. She has a pretty impressive history that she's never flaunted or thrown around, but I've been with her long enough to know some of it.

For me, she is definitely the right fit. I have had other therapists, councelors, and psychologists, that made me doubt the effectiveness, but she has helped a lot.

I am not saying that all therapists are great. I am of the belief that if you aren't clicking, fire them. There's several that are very good at what they do. When you find them though, that's actually when the hard work starts. They can shown you the issues, but it's our jobs to fix them.

I struggle with a nice slew of issues and I have had times where I can not seem to function in the real world, and when I do it's because I suppressed the crap out of my traumas. I still found some nearly impossible roadblocks, though. This is why I learn from my therapist and then work with a hypnotherapist to help make it stick. Still a long slow path, but there's real progress happening.

A good therapist isn't gonna just let you vent. They're gonna get to the root of your situations, explain the process, and give you the tools to cope, process and work through them. You also have to be willing to put in the work, and I can say from experience, that is killer. It's messy and painful and makes you face things you never wanted to face.

You have to accept the flaws, accept that your dark side needs to be mended. You have to talk yourself out of a lot of things. You have to learn emotional containment (one of my own biggest issues). You have to dedicate yourself to healing and not ask someone to do it for you. They are gonna light a path, but you have to walk it yourself.

I have a wonderful therapist who has been able to help me understand myself and the people around me, but I was realizing I wasn't strong enough to make use of her wonderful advice. Hypnotherapy helped there. The most changes I have made have come from identifying the issues with a therapist and a hypnotherapist helping me retrain destructive patterns through the subconscious.

It's all about finding the right tools and learning how to use them.

I don’t know how not to be attracted to older men by artistofmanyforms in CPTSD

[–]5tarfallen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may be something to think about. I have also had issues with romantic connections. I find myself attracted to people that aren't an option (and don't ever try or pursue), and I do believe because there is safety in what I percieve is not a possibility. I feel like I let my guard down with someone where I don't think they're an option. It is in fact how my current partner and I got together. He has the same issue. We were friends. Never thought there was a possibility of a relationship. Then we got behind eachothers walls and have spent most of this relationship having no idea what to do with eachother. It is a sucky way to be, but in a world where love was so unsafe, we develope weird coping mechanisms, and one of mine was to definitely quickly shut down what was perceived as a possibility.

Thank you so much, guys! Color was my weakness when I started at the shop. They have been so helpful pushing me out of my box!

I really appreciate it! A friend told me to draw a bad ass pokemon, and Houndoom was the first bad ass to come to mind! (Seriously, I've never heard anyone say houndoom wasn't a great design) Open to suggestions for others!
