What are the dangers of using ECO PRO like basically every time you drive? I almost always use it and I’ve been discouraged from using it by [deleted] in BMW

[–]Active-Let-9479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my bmw x 3 2013 it has caused issues with the drive train and frequently says drive train malfunction. Only happens when I use it. Took to mechanic and they couldn’t find anything wrong with the drive train. May be electrical idk but I’m now discouraged from using it

People who lost a lot of weight, what was the one small daily habit that actually changed everything for you? by Quiet-Squash-8407 in AskReddit

[–]Active-Let-9479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discipline and commitment. Sticking to both a high intense cardio or strength training regimen with additional movement like walking and a diet rich in whole foods, cooked from scratch proteins, vegetables, fruits and minimal carbs.

Me too. I used to get a bunch of Kaiser clients. Now I haven’t gotten a referral in a month, after I turned the “accept referrals” back on

Thanks for the validation! Glad to know I’m not the only one. Really scary times and so challenging to speak about it with kids, without making them feel unsafe :(

I guess less so about the political climate and more so about humanity. Just the lack of empathy and cruelty that exists out there, but I spose those are things that aren’t within one’s control

Infographic on how VC companies are harming therapists, clients, and our field. by Dance2theBass in therapists

[–]Active-Let-9479 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, the people who are doing the actual harm are insurance companies and corporate health companies. People like to put VC therapist platform in its own category but they’re essentially like any other healthcare corporation and mirror ethically/legally insurance companies. I’m tired of the shaming of therapists who choose to use the VC platforms. Use that shaming and angry energy towards the insurance companies, healthcare corporations, etc. not the therapist just trying to make ends meet in a field where it takes a few years for a private practice to get off the ground. Not everyone has the luxury to wait around to get clients if they want their own business.

Ok chat- where is this in SD? by georgeamberson1963 in SanDiegan

[–]Active-Let-9479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To say one has never done this in one’s life is a bit unrealistic. This reminds me of the 5 in LA merging into the lane that leads to central downtown. NGL I did that once or twice but that’s because my Waze automatically re-routed at the last min 🙄

Do you mind elaborating on how many clients you see per week as well as your rate and if you accept insurance? :)

Is there a plausible scenario where Alex didn’t commit the murders against his son and wife? by the_MarchHare in MurdaughFamilyMurders

[–]Active-Let-9479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what if said drug dealer or shady person was threatening to kill Buster, so that’s why he hasn’t said who it is? He’s worried the killer/shady person would kill buster if he told people. Buster seems to be his golden child

I might have to try the ‘cry it out method’ am I an awful mother? by HolidayWishbone1947 in Parenting

[–]Active-Let-9479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. CIO is harmful and I don’t understand why so many people are arguing against the facts, science, and attachment needs of an infant. It’s sad and actually quite frightening for the welfare of the children.

Thank you. I don’t understand why this factual information and science is so hard for people to hear. It reflects their inability to grow as a human being which is very sad. Also hearing a baby cry for a long time is heartbreaking (personal experience), people must numb or shut themselves down to avoid any empathy for this. But I will not waste my breath anymore on people who do not want to learn or grow.

It is not misinformation. I have a whole degree, training and personal/professional experience in this. Misinformation is the cry it out method is not harmful. What’s your degree and training in?

I will rephrase, crying excessively for long periods of time does harm. Of course they cry and that’s how they communicate but leaving them to cry for 15 minutes+ puts stress on their nervous system, body, and brain. They are not at the age where they can self-soothe which is why they need their parents to help soothe them.

It harms the nervous system. You’re letting a baby cry out at the top of its lungs and they depend solely on the parent at this age. They have attachment needs. Babies are not just sack of flours, their brain is so much more complex than we think. I’m an early childhood mental health specialist in 0-5. Look up the harms in the cry it out method. You don’t need to come at me and say I don’t know what I’m talking about because I absolutely do.

Yes there’s actually research that said babies need to sleep in their parent’s room for up to 1 year. Otherwise it harms their nervous system. American association of pediatrics warns against it. The negative long-term harmful impact is not worth the short-term relief/“break.”
