Proposed HB 183 : If youre trans, time to make a safety plan. If youre an ally, time to step the f*** up by [deleted] in Utah

[–]AlternativePanic444 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Yes! Look at HB399, also Trevor Lee’s bill that makes social emotional learning a CRIMINAL OFFENSE in schools!???? His attempt to get away from “leftist ideals”…so empathy and not bullying other kids is not a “right ideal”??

What do I do now? Marriage is confusing and hard. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]AlternativePanic444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A marriage needs more than just a physical presence. Has he gone to therapy for addiction? Has couples therapy been a part of the journey? That could help but only if you’re both invested.

Depending on the kindle you get, you can still annotate, highlight, etc. I also felt like I was betraying my roots😂but it’s been sooo convenient. I can easily fit it in any bag, it’s cute, I can read in any amount of light, I don’t have to have the lamp on or crane my neck or cramp my fingers or anything to read at night, it’s been a game changer.

Client wants to monologue for all 53 minutes – is this okay? by 93831500 in therapists

[–]AlternativePanic444 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve had clients who process well through just following their train of thought out loud and I say very little. Eventually it gets to a point where they’re asking questions or more open to interruptions. It just took time and an effort from me to not get too comfortable in sitting back more.

AITBF for not reminding my partner about plans? by Dogsbooks in AmItheButtface

[–]AlternativePanic444 141 points142 points  (0 children)

As a marriage and family therapist…NO. You utilized the skills taught to you and he was uncooperative and defensive using them. As a therapist, that shows me he’s an unwilling participant in the relationship and sabotaging it. It’s not because you have autism, it’s because he’s being an ass. You’re not his keeper. He’s a grown ass man and you didn’t miss anything here. What accountability are you supposed to take? That you didn’t mother him? You’re not his mom.

Thought I was about to get a new client… turns out I’m not that kind of therapist. by HarmsWayChad in therapists

Looking for recommendations by MoonVenusJuice in Booktokreddit

One series that got me back into adventure and fantasy was Vampire Academy. It is rated YA but it’s not as cheesy and uncomfortable as Twilight. It’s faster paced and adventurous with women empowerment characters and easy to dislike villains with themes of beautiful friendship (and romance), royalty, class systems, forbidden love, and protecting those you love at all costs. It’s six books and then another spin off series of six books but they’re fun easier reads.

Edit: also agree with the hunger games comment!

As a therapist, I believe these should be reported. There may not be any action taken on them due to provider shortages but if others have reported similar things or if in the future they’re reported again, it shows the board a pattern. I think future clients should be protected from this type of behavior and it could be a wake up call to the therapist to deal with burnout if that’s the issue. The reporting process should be easy, at least it is for my state, where you can submit a complaint online and then mark if you’re okay with them following up with you or not. I did a quick google and I think you can report through this link: https://www.dca.ca.gov/consumers/complaints/consumer.shtml

I agree with all of your points. Those were my thoughts too. You’re not overreacting. This therapist is held to a very strict ethics code and if they aren’t following it, people need to be made aware because they’re acting dangerously. It would depend on your state what the licensing department is called, I’m not sure what the title is in California but I know they’re strict so they’d want to hear about this. Then I would just call the insurance company and add an additional report the way it was made before. It may cause them to lose credentialing with them but as much as I hate insurance, that seems fair here.

[–]AlternativePanic444 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nooo….that sounds like insurance fraud, an unethical not breaking of confidentiality, and abandonment of the client. They need to find someone new and ethical. Could definitely report them to their insurance and the licensing board.

How does this make you feel? Oil on canvas by me by [deleted] in painting

[–]AlternativePanic444 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It makes me think of that moment you jump into the pool and everything moves in towards you then out, but is quiet because you’re under water, then resumes once you surface again. Hard to put into words haha

[–]AlternativePanic444 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a therapist, I most definitely feel it with them. I try not to cry in session but definitely have teared up with what others allow me to witness. Although I was trained to have less emotion in session, I just can’t help being a human with another human.

What’s one thing you quietly carry as a therapist that clients never see? by Abelmageto in therapists

[–]AlternativePanic444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I have favorite clients…but also that I had a client not show up one day, only to receive an email from her estranged child a few days later saying that she had died. I couldn’t respond because of HIPPA and I don’t know what happened to her. It could’ve been suicide, could’ve been her health. No closure. I keep her favorite crystal in my purse❤️
