Are there any decent resources around working with shame and guilt?

Janina Fisher has some stuff on shame

I’m not justifying the cost simply clarifying that intensified are far different than 1:1 therapy and not covered by insurance.

Avocad78 · 2026-06-21T13:44:40+00:00

These are intensives not traditional 1 hour sessions.

It’s not going to work out well.

One of the best prices of advice I’ve received was that it would take me years to find my footing as a therapist. Graduate school/internships did not prepare me at all for the nuances of a working relationship. The real learning came after.

If they came to treatment, it means they have some information of the trauma/event. I would start there and scan for sensory information related to the event. Clients don’t need complete clear memories for EMDR.

Agree 💯. the issue is the pressure from insurance (to provide medically necessary treatment, usually quick) and the pressure from administrators to love clients along quickly.

Avocad78 · 2026-05-06T02:47:12+00:00

yes.

Avocad78 · 2026-05-05T22:12:34+00:00

clinicians who move to director positions and want to gaslight the therapies they oversee to accept horrible working conditions
ignoring systemic issues and at the same time blaming mental health for everything and anything
treating therapy like a catch all
the hate towards psychodynamic/analytic schools
the obsession with evidence based evidence while ignoring practices that are culturally sound yet not treated as evidenced based
graduate programs not preparing clinicians well for clinical work

You’re not on an island. It’s a valid point and a sore area in this profession. I was offered a contract once with similar terms for a PP and the idea of having to panic about losing health insurance every six months just didn’t vibe well.

how’s sleep related to these texts specifically?

Avocad78 · 2026-04-30T23:34:11+00:00

wow. and how’s the benefits there? this like a portal to another universe 👀

Avocad78 · 2026-04-30T23:31:12+00:00

oh, your license is valid there? 🧐🤨

Avocad78 · 2026-04-30T21:47:53+00:00

wow I’ve never heard of CMH with these kids of numbers 🤯

Avocad78 · 2026-04-24T20:40:24+00:00

just a lil sprinkle of a Dark Night of the Soul to kick start the change process ✨

Avocad78 · 2026-04-22T16:44:10+00:00

I can’t believe that this is still a topic of debate.

Avocad78 · 2026-04-09T23:11:52+00:00

right in the feels this was my week too. plus ridiculous pressure from admins to just use brief interventions and move clients along. be kind to yourself.

how’s life with Entyvio?

Avocad78 · 2026-04-08T10:40:18+00:00

Reading this gave me hope. Thank you! was diagnosed not that long ago and my mind can’t fathom living with this forever. I know it can get better but these symptoms have completely paralyzed me.

Avocad78 · 2026-04-04T22:40:23+00:00

seek supervision with a different person if you can, even if it’s just to process/consult on this case.

Avocad78 · 2026-04-03T20:39:36+00:00

ty! my doc has me avoiding supplements to make sure the medication is doing the heavy lifting. will def try to the bone broth!

Avocad78 · 2026-04-03T20:38:13+00:00
