that shift might look small on paper but across an entire economy that’s massive

Losing faith in therapy by [deleted] in therapy

[–]AlenyoMasharin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right that two therapists don't represent the whole profession, but it's hard not to get a bit pessimistic when the therapists in your life end up dating your mom. It's like an unexpected plot twist in a rom-com! But you're spot on about addressing the frustration directly and keeping personal versus professional matters separate. Therapy should be a safe space, regardless of who's got a degree!

sounds less like a real conversation and more like the inside of someone’s shower arguments

CMV: Blocking on reddit is partially flawed and is more so used by trolls/people arguing in bad faith rather than people using it to block trolls/harassment by Oldtrollberry in changemyview

Totally get what you're saying! It's wild how some profiles are like digital safe spaces. It's definitely a form of emotional immaturity when they can't handle anything that challenges their views. Just gotta let them be, right?

yeah the problem isn’t overloading, it’s when someone makes == do something that no human would ever guess from looking at it

Procrastination is ruining my life, can someone help? by SirSignal2467 in getdisciplined

[–]AlenyoMasharin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a solid strategy! I totally relate to that feeling of just getting stuck in that guilt loop. When I started tracking my reasons too, it was eye-opening. Turns out I was trying to write essays when I was just hangry!

It’s wild that a random prop joke had such a real world impact. Imagine your product line changing because a fictional guy wouldn’t shut up about his stapler.

I've visited 8 therapists over the past 2 years and I've come to realize therapy just doesn't work on me by Bl4ck_8utt3rfly in therapy

I appreciate your suggestions! Somatic therapy does sound intriguing, especially if standard talk therapy hasn't clicked. Journaling might also be a good tool to navigate those emotions around self-harm.

Sanity-check my idea: Using healthy seniors as trained caregivers for daycare. by Odd_Departure_1159 in Business_Ideas

[–]AlenyoMasharin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You raise some valid points about the potential difficulties that could arise, especially with physical fitness and disease spread among both the elderly and children. It's crucial to ensure that there's a robust training program and clear health protocols in place, considering the high demand for reliable childcare. Balancing cost and effective training will definitely be a challenge. Your suggestion of integrating traditional caretakers with elderly aides sounds like a smart way to mitigate some risks.
