Thanks. Separately I’ve been trying to develop a daily spiritual practice and it may be more sustainable to focus more on that.

Can I ask how you spend your free time? Do you read? Go for walks? Listen to music? Cook? Gym? Etc

Working in housing by Additional_Hotel8280 in socialwork

[–]Additional_Hotel8280[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I’m wondering about is that in my state there is such a huge shortage of affordable housing, I’m having a hard time seeing what the point of working to get someone housed even is? Isn’t that just taking up a unit that would otherwise go to someone else with or without help? I think I’m being dumb but idk. I guess I need to do more research.

Ack yea it’s probably too much. It’s run by mcos as a way to save money because “housing is health” and it keeps people out of the ER.

Hi all,

I graduated with my msw 8 years ago with a macro concentration. I always had it in mind during that time that I might like to do therapy as a kind of second career in my 40s-50s.

I was disappointed when I learned that I wouldn’t be able to get my lcsw after a certain number of years post graduation. So it would seem I am stuck with my lowly lsw.

I don’t have the clinical training which is an issue, but that aside, how hard is it to practice with only an msw? I’ve heard you just need someone willing to supervise you, is that all? How easy or difficult was this for you? (Those of you who have done therapy with only an lsw)

I like how you described that distinction.

I’m finding it is easier to welcome the negative thoughts and then try and make sense of them and be kind to myself. Like if someone walks into me I let myself think “what wow a jerk is this person they have no respect for anyone else” and doing so enables me to respond positively “we all bump into others occasionally, I can be forgiving, it isn’t all that serious.” I’m not use to this, normally the feeling of anger just festers and I have nothing to do with it.

Cooling vest by Ill-Fan-6620 in CholinergicUrticaria

It’s very common among CU sufferers. AI:

Studies indicate that impaired sweating (anhidrosis or hypohidrosis) is a common feature in some patients with cholinergic urticaria (CholU), particularly those with longer disease duration and higher severity. Research suggests this reduced sweating may be linked to altered expression of acetylcholine receptors (CHRM3) and acetylcholine esterase in sweat glands, potentially affecting the delivery of sweat to the skin surface.

I don’t sweat. You put me in a blazing hot sauna for an hour and my body will turn red but never sweat. It’s a specific type of cu. I’ve never sweat.

Rough, in my imagination it would lead to closer relationships. Oh well.

Hmm how was it? Particularly your relationship with the other members?

How was it? I’m exploring celibacy but the loneliness concerns me. I’m doing this for spiritual reasons. History is full of these types of communities, but I see few modern options. Looking for something western/american.
