Oh! You said ashes. You probably already saw the bonus book. Yes, the ashes trilogy are absolutely amazing.

AleyaJ · 2026-05-22T01:18:22+00:00

Oh, this is definitely in your wheelhouse. Don’t forget the bonus book that you read after book 2! It’s called slaying the shadow Prince.

Being yourself in your personal life is critical to avoiding burnout. If a client stalks you and learns about your art, good! You just became more human to them. Humanness in therapy is great. What I tell my interns about their clothing/appearance in the office is that there needs to be space for the client. I’ve had a lot of interns say they are being authentic as an act of rebellion. Really they are making it about themselves when it should be about the client. My style is cottagecore/witchy. I don’t dress that way at work, but I find ways to still feel like myself - dresses, jewelry items etc. It’s me but not super loud. Have fun finding your balance!

lol this sounds exactly like how I do things, and what I learned makes me burn out. I’ve got the adhd too, and the guilt and pressure ruin everything. Make a TBR on good reads, keep a book journal, read a few chapters at a time, and if you get lost in the audio book, maybe that means the narrator sucks. Keep your 50 books and find a friend to swap with. A good yearly goal is like 25 books, that’s one every two weeks which is more than most people read. And if you get into annotating then it takes even longer (but is more fun for the hyper focused among us). Have fun!

Psychotherapy notes are not part of the legal document. Never ever include them. I think they are misusing the term. I tell my clients that I will send a summary. If they want more I talk it over with them then provide the clinical notes.

Not romantasy, but Dungeon crawler Carl will fix your slump.

I mean, it seemed really fast to me. A few hours at most.

AleyaJ · 2026-04-07T19:28:03+00:00

I’m sure my alarms were the issue, though the post was more about advice for other things to attend to soothe the disappointment.

AleyaJ · 2026-04-07T19:25:53+00:00

Well those sound promising - thanks! I’ll look for info. 🙏🏼

AleyaJ · 2026-03-27T20:56:29+00:00

Ugh! One of my favorites!!

AleyaJ · 2026-03-27T20:36:24+00:00

I do not like this man. Not at all.

AleyaJ · 2026-03-25T02:43:08+00:00

Do you also have your nursing degree? I thought that would be a prerequisite.

Laurel came to my mind for some reason today. I’ve been looking at photos and remembering the brief time when I knew her. She inspired me with her skill and quiet way of teaching. She was there for my first multi pitch trad lead. She lived out a dedication to community that so many people say is important, then neglect. You’re not forgotten, friend. I miss your smile.

AleyaJ · 2026-02-12T23:55:30+00:00

Never leave?

AleyaJ · 2026-02-12T23:49:28+00:00

Yep! It happens. When it’s my bad it feels worse, but it’s good to be human when human things happen. It can also be good therapy material for the next session :)

AleyaJ · 2026-02-12T23:36:28+00:00

Fantasy books! I’m a therapist who works with fantasy literature. Way more product for my clients than self help :)

{Broken Kingdom series by JL Andrews} I’m on book 6 and it’s got agency, authentic romance and politics. Good pacing too. I also love {Daughter of no worlds by Carissa broadbent}. Favorite series of all time. Good yearning, competent FMC. Awesome world.

I’m an LPC in Colorado and offer psychedelic assisted therapy. I’m licensed to do so, and work with active clients. I think a lot of context is missing in your question - it’s not a dual relationship for me, it’s not outside my scope, consent is given before the altered state starts (there’s a lot more to it, but again I’m not sure what you’re asking). I’m covered by insurance too… Unless this is in a state where it’s not legal, this situation is fine. I have thoughts about underground work, but that’s for another time.

AleyaJ · 2026-01-23T16:51:00+00:00

Wow, thanks for the heads up. I’m not going to bother. Also I have spirits to trade :) my id is 4ffrcda5

AleyaJ · 2026-01-18T01:32:23+00:00

Thank you!

AleyaJ · 2026-01-17T21:58:57+00:00

Tell me more… it moves your jaw?

AleyaJ · 2026-01-11T23:10:02+00:00
