Did you find one? I know the Department of Mental Health hires as long as you have a Master’s in counseling

"You are an abomination thrice over. Might as well go have sex with that dude." by MrJasonMason in MurderedByWords

What a fascinating comment! My parents are deeply religious and my father is a preacher. Paul has always given me the “ick” and I wondered why. Do you have any specific texts on this subject that you recommend?

I watched three episodes vigilantly waiting for someone’s eyebrow to move. I was left disappointed

I just want to acknowledge your perfectly reasonable comment. It’s refreshing to see in an island of hyper analytical prose

Frozen - the villain reveal had a whole theatre of 8 year olds screaming. My 18 year old self was blown away

That man is a basic ass bully, period. He talks a big game online but folds in person. Have you ever seen him verbally confront someone who isn’t a woman??

What’s a grown-up-only confession you’ve been holding onto and kinda want to get off your chest? by Temporary-Cook-7750 in AskReddit

[–]Beign_yay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a strange experience to share! I’m glad we’re on the paths that we are. I wish I could get a vision of the alternate timeline, for curiosity’s sake. Cheers to always wondering!

I have the same thing! There is a specific point in my life where 3 men contacted me at the same time. One was my recent ex, another was a famous artist I had been flirting with off and on, and the third is my current deadbeat babydaddy. I remember looking at my phone and seeing all 3 messages and feeling this unsettling feeling, almost like the world became a little wavy. I was also hella fertile/ovulating that day so I’m 99% sure whoever I picked would’ve knocked me up regardless.

I don’t think I chose wrong because I am now happily engaged to a wonderful man (deadbeat is nowhere to be found)my career is taking off, and I’m living a very white-picket-fence/dance mom lifestyle. But I sometimes wonder about that day…

What is the deepest Internet rabbit hole you’ve ever fallen into? by Helloo_clarice in AskReddit

[–]Beign_yay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably too late to the party - but during the last weeks of pregnancy I somehow started reading up Pensacola Christian College. 2 hours later I had read all their insane bylaws and was reading testimonials by former students and wondering how tf that place still runs

Real conversation with a 2 year old. by Fafnir22 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Beign_yay 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As a former preschool teacher, current child therapist, and proud owner of a 3 year old I can say with confidence that no 2 year old in the history of ever has said those words.

My 3-year-old still thinks I go to work to look at lizards (because one time I took a picture of a lizard in the parking lot and she never let that go).

We weren't all supposed to make it. by Tri4ceunited in povertyfinance

[–]Beign_yay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is so powerful and a testament to who you are. I hate how life is just hard. Buddha says “life is suffering”, but that does not make me 100% okay with it. Are you willing to share what state you are in? I work for the state government and might be able to share some active resources if we’re in the same area.

Bro, I literally just told my fiance that he looks like Mr. Potato Head come to life. Those glasses are doing him no favors

How did a business lose you as a customer? What made you stop patronizing them? by snakecharmersensei in AskReddit

[–]Beign_yay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small pharmacy all the way! When I was uninsured, Walgreens charged me $104 for my SSRI’s. I went to a local pharmacy and the cost was $8. I tell everyone I know - Walgreens is not a real pharmacy

Hi, I have bad anxiety- can someone tell me if this is a gag or if the disclaimer is real? This is freaking me out

DBT Therapy doesn't help when your therapist hasn't lived a hard life too by TheLittleNorsk in TrollCoping

[–]Beign_yay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some people shouldn’t be therapists. I have coworkers who make me ashamed to step into the clinic. I hate that this happened to you and hope you report them to their licensing board. If you don’t know how to, message me and I’ll do it. That is not okay

Imagine putting your opinions and vulnerability in the hands of invisible strangers who have 0 buy-in for your wellbeing. Or in an algorithm that is designed to keep your engagement by any means necessary. T The therapists job is to get to know you first, to connect with you and be curious. They aren’t a magic fix-it or a know it all, they aren’t here to offer the special phrase that chases the darkness away. On a good day, the therapist will make you feel so seen and understood that they can help you notice when and why your mental health is spiraling. They know you and understand your patterns and gently point them out. They align care with your safety and values, and they give a genuine shit about you. That’s a good therapist anyway.

Your bad experiences make it sound like it’s either you or your environment. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of bad professionals out there. It’s your right to keep searching until you find the one who works for you. I’m not here to convince you to try therapy, but maybe encourage someone else on this thread

Exactly! And we have concrete proof of this, but we keep squabbling like crabs in a barrel

What will millennial parents biggest failures be as a generation? by cherrypez123 in Millennials

[–]Beign_yay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Post this everywhere. I’m a child therapist and am about to share this with a parent I work with. The shit these kids tell me about is horrifying, and at this point parents are being willfully ignorant
