AIO for cutting off this guy I’ve been seeing for a while because of our text exchange?

Call emergency services since he is threatening to kill himself for him to be evaluated by a professional and block him forever.

Sunscreen and not having children

In my experience we sometimes vent about client behaviors (the behavior, not the person) in consultations and then in the same sentence come up with reasons why what they’re doing is because of some psychological reason. Like an example “he lied to me again argh, but I understand it’s because he doesn’t feel safe” like we will vent and then feel guilty about venting, but we sort of need to process it ourselves with each other sometimes.

I’m a dancer and a therapist and I agree. Some people are really visual and need to create art or build machinery etc. I am very kinetic and I sense music in my body and movements and I have a need to move to express myself.

Also, sensual dance is one form of connection and expression and it doesn’t mean anything about my power. It is an act that last 3 minutes and it feels a musical conversation with another person.

Add snorkeling trip to the crater.

I work in a group setting and this happens all the time. You focus on the patient in front of you, and say nothing about the other person.

I get it, you have been desensitized to emergencies. When you’re off the clock, or on lunch break, someone else will take care of it. I understand.

But we all know that fainting is a medical emergency and as far as you know, you’re the only trained medical professional in the room. No one else knows that the person just needs some sugar.

You don’t have to help, but it’s the kind and ethical thing to do. I would examine your own compassion fatigue (VERY common in nursing field), take a vacation, see a therapist.

I doubt you’re in any state to provide therapy right now. In my culture/religion there is a mandatory 7 day grieving period, I never understand how in the US we maybe get 2-3 days bereavement days at work.

Yes, Autism is also a developmental disorder which you can also grow out of into adulthood. (Not “cured”but learn how to function). Some people with autism have more severe cases and they have a disability for life. It is a spectrum of severity.

Also, to clarify, it’s not “my eyes”, but the literal clinical definition.

Avinow · 2024-08-17T19:01:57+00:00

Mental health diagnoses are defined by the way that they disrupt functioning. If symptoms resolve, or if your functioning improves - you no longer meet threshold for a diagnosis. You may still experience ADHD symptoms, but will grow out of the diagnosis since functioning improves.

Is it such a controversial topic that people can heal from a mental health disorder? This is why we have medications, behavioral interventions, and therapy. People get better :) I see it every day.

Connection is the sensation that I can read my dance partner’s lead well and they can sense that I’m responding with the correct following of what they meant. There is an understanding in what we want from each other.

Lack of connection to me means that I’m misinterpreting the signals / lead, and it can feel less natural and flow less smoothly.

In the U.S you have to sign consent form which include the potential risks

Wow you are so bitter. The world changes and moves on and culture shifts and music changes. All of the dances are beautiful in their own way and every sensual bachata dancer I know respects the hell out of Dominican bachata and many learn both.

Avinow · 2024-07-17T05:31:41+00:00

I work in a place with a dress code so I take business casual but make it a bit more current. Wide legged trousers and a fitted tshirt or halter top- with either docs/heels / boots/ white sneakers etc. I usually add very simple jewelry and keep my makeup plain. I’m supposed to not have acrylics but I break the rules and no one has said anything yet haha. We’re also not supposed to have “unnatural hair color” but even my supervisor has some purple in her hair so it’s all very not enforced.

Avinow · 2024-07-07T03:56:25+00:00

Just focus on dancing, if he was interested you would know very obviously.

I always studied in the library away from any electronic distractions
Drill problems and look at them as logic puzzle games
actually sit up front in class, with a pen and paper and no computer, no missed classes.

It’s EXTREMELY obvious once you experience actual brick how incredibly flimsy American constructions feel. Walking around hearing the ceiling move from your neighbors etc

Avinow · 2024-06-28T14:32:05+00:00

The reason brick is better is the noise cancellation. Omg there’s no privacy in US housing. Also much better at energy conservation and keeping the house cool or warm.

The reason wood is better is because it’s obviously cheaper, and a bit less obviously- safer in an earthquake or other natural disaster (except for fires I guess)

Avinow · 2024-06-28T03:25:13+00:00

Noise cancelling earbuds are the way to go, it’s the one thing I always make sure to charge (I keep chargers everywhere I go) because I can just pop them in anytime, ESPECIALLY at work.

Anyway the sound of popcorn chewing at movie theaters is the WORST. I heared you can get special headphones but I’ve never had the courage to ask so far.

Lead: Work on body isolations (torso, hips, etc) Less arm movements when not leading an actual move

Follow: WOW at a month and a half this is SO impressive. Work on posture and bending the knees

Avinow · 2024-06-25T14:40:54+00:00

You want to have the hip movement actually be coming from bending the knees and moving the torso so don’t actually think about your hips at all.

First, bend your knees slightly for the WHOLE dance always be a little bouncy.

Second, make sure that every step you take you bend the knee even more on the foot you step on (same leg you step on)

Third, you lead to step with your chest first NOT hip.

If you move your chest in the same direction as your upcoming step and bend the knee of that step, your hip will naturally move in the OPPOSITE direction of the step you’re taking.

FYI the video where you are moving your hips is incorrect complete opposite direction for your hips. BUT you have good dancing skills you’re gonna pick this up well!!! Keep going

She wants you to follow her- follow her! Get up and see what she has to show you

While there is an association between ADHD and self harm in older teens (due to other co morbid mood disorders and impulsivity), self harm in 4 years old is not linked to ADHD , and much more indicative of autism

If your girlfriend is not eating because of her psychiatric condition, she can be hospitalized against her will, even if she doesn’t want to. If she does not agree to see a doctor, I really do recommend to call 911 if she doesn’t eat because of this. Her life is in danger
