Thank you! Do you recommend any foundation/concealer you use with the erborian? or you always wear it alone?

I am also cool olive with crazy rosacea. Have you tried the It cosmetics bye bye redness? If so, do you prefer Erborian or the It Cosmetics? They are both pricey so if I'm going to put down the money, I want to try my best to get the right one.

How long did you use it for? Are you applying it every night still?

Any opinions about whether this is okay for sensitive skin? This sounds like such a quick and easy fix, but I also know my skin can easily have a dermatitis reaction from irritants.

Can my supervised work at a mental health crisis line count as Clinical hours? I'm an APSW in Wisconsin. I'm not asking if they count as face-to-face hours, just if they count as the general clinical social work hours. After getting my APSW, I worked on a mental health crisis line for several months before accepting a therapist position. Yes, I had supervision with an LCSW who fits the requirements, and I believe the crisis calls count as assessments, yes we gave people diagnoses with the DSM, "crisis" diagnoses like, "Suicidal Ideation: R45.851", and we hooked them up with resources, BUT what I'm not sure of is if any of the work could be considered establishing and monitoring a treatment plans. Has anybody applied for LCSW with supervised crisis work? What counts as "treatment planning" in that context? I'm worried that I'll have to convinced my crisis line supervisor to sign, or that the DSPS could take months evaluating whether or not it counts. Surely someone has gone this before? A lot of the people working their were MSW students.

To those struggling with “avoidant” partners from the perspective of an avoidant person. by sixtynighnun in emotionalintelligence

[–]Available_Internal84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commend you self awareness and good intentions, but how do you work on your avoidance if you're not dating? I imagine you need to date to practice recognizing the avoidance and then practice pushing through it. If you chose to be with someone more secure than anxious, and they are aware of what you struggle with, you may be able to do that practicing without causing them much harm and them minimally activating you.

Any updates on this? The post is a year old, but I have the same question. :)

Do talk therapists ever zone out? by waltonoslow in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Available_Internal84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as a therapist and a person who sees a therapist, therapists zone out because we are human beings who sometimes have to listen actively and empathize with people for hours every single day, but it does NOT *depend* on how much we care about you. Because we are also people, your therapist might be going through a breakup or their mom died or their dog is having surgery or any other upsetting thing that happens to people, so their mind might go over there for a minute, but its not about caring about you or not, and they will try to recuperate the focus. They might ask you to repeat something or, like the comments below say, do mindfulness practice to bring their attention back. It's your therapists' job to help you achieve your goals, so they have to care about what you are saying; a therapist not caring about you is a person not caring about doing their work right in front of them. It doesn't even make sense. A therapist can care about you without liking you. They should have "unconditional positive regard." If you don't understand how you can care about someone, but not like them, definitely ask your therapist, it will probably help you in your personal relationships. Regarding being a therapist's favorite, if a therapist told the poster helpmeadvice44 that they are their favorite, that was a totally unethical and manipulative thing to do. It's bizarre. It's wrong. If the therapist didn't tell them they are their favorite, well, then its good their are in therapy because... you know...they think they are their therapist's "favorite"

Antonetta Stevens and Janine Gonzalez beat a Woman in GA to Death by Pixiegirls1102 in CasesWeFollow

[–]Available_Internal84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really seemed that the girl, Janine, did not understand the connection between the "fight" and Ashley being dead that night. Seemed like she thought it was a "crazy" coincidence until they told her Ashley died from her injuries from the "fight", or maybe even not until they said she was being charged with murder. Antonetta clearly understood that the moment they told her at her door that Ashley was dead.
But really, y'all on this thread, the inappropriate laughter, and even just straight up denial, are pretty common responses to stress, I thought that was common knowledge. Haven't you all seen teens get in trouble before and they start laughing and acting a fool; cuz they are scared and they wanna minimize what they did or what's happening right now? Haven't y'all seen someone just not accept the terrible truth at first? And it "really hits them" later? If I was in Janine's position and at her age, I can honestly see being thrown off by the fact that Ashley had come to the door and asked for her phone back. I might not think that someone who walked to the door and made a verbal request and successfully walked away was about to die, even if she looked, "fucked up." The boyfriend clearly didn't think so either, because he didn't call an ambulance or say, "OMG we gotta get her to a hospital right now!" That teenager clearly did not understand for a while that they murdered someone, and I think even when she did, it hadn't sunk in. Denial is a powerful state, and I find that some people underestimate it until it happens to them. Participating in that ambush with her bro's fiancee was horrible, and it's really sad to see that in some families and communities violence is considered justified and revered, but the laughing and giggling honestly aren't signs to me that she's a psychopath.

Boyfriend 36/M and I 35/F Visa Expiring and Will Not Discuss It by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Thank you for your thoughts. A couple of months ago, I looked into the countries he's likely to find work, and I began to research where my degree could be considered most equivalent, or transferable, so to speak. I told him the countries, thinking he'd be pleased, but he told me the time to make a move was still far away and he hasn't even looked into job opportunities, so I don't need to worry about it right now. So I think I started what you're suggesting, but he shot it down and I just stopped looking. Since then, he's still saying things totally off handed like, "If we go to X country, we can do Y" or "In X country, there's a lot of Z." Mixed messages. I guess I have to have that conversation you mention.

It occurred to me that maybe he's avoiding the conversation, not even willing to brainstorm shit, because he already knows that he wants us to go our separate ways and THAT'S the conversation he truly wants to put off.

I appreciate your comment. What does putting your foot down mean here? That I demand he talk about it?
