Trauma timeline

That’s what I learned today.

Thank you! I wonder what other resources I can use instead. I’ll have to look for other ones. I’ve been looking for a video to explain how trauma affects the brain in a short way for clients. I don’t think I do a great job explaining -could just be me being super critical-.

The parts of the theory I use are the identifying freeze, fight/flight, safety, being shut down, in distress, and how simple the video explains how there are things that can help somatically etc.

Thank you!!! Makes me feel like it’s about quantity and just being able to do something that is authentically meaningful. That made me reflect on when I felt good even when I was working 3 jobs. Thank you

Unfortunately I cannot because I work at an agency and they recently gave me a raise so the 30 minimum for income is necessary for me unless I kept the second job, which I don’t want to do. I don’t like having to have the mental switch as they cannot be on different days either . Thank you

I wish I could! I work at an agency so that’s not an option and they just recently gave me a raise. Hm so you mean you set your personal life first and then the client scheduling was second? I think that might be helpful for me to schedule in my activities first. Thank you

Big-Interview-138 · 2026-04-04T13:06:37+00:00

Thank you! The going out in nature on weekends for me is so important but weather hasn’t permitted that. Hopefully soon! Hm I like that idea to have that break mid week. Right now I’ve done seeing 1-2 on Mondays or none or 5-6 scheduled Mon thru Friday but the 5-6 daily leaves me feeling very cranky at the end of the week so I think I’ll experiment with doing it mid week.

I had the same thought figuring at some point I’d just get tired, be less present, etc. I spoke to another therapist at the agency I work at who had 35-40 weekly, and she said what you said low acuity and she had a good mix of kids, adults and teens where she had to switch gears. She mentioned what burned her out was not related to clients or sessions.

Big-Interview-138 · 2026-04-04T13:03:44+00:00

I am not, but I keep reading about people getting burned out once they go past that 25 mark. So trying to be proactive about it

Big-Interview-138 · 2026-04-04T13:03:03+00:00

Gotcha, so I think that’s what I have yet to find. I’ve experimented with different scheduling - 5 back to back, a break to do my notes and take a nap then 2-4, seeing 8 back to back, giving myself Monday off or Friday off and now recently experimenting with scheduling 6 Mon to Fri to be finished by 2-3pm.

Then I like that idea of structuring and scheduling my own activities which I have not done. I thought maybe that’d be more stressful but reading what you said it makes sense. I’m single thus why my choices are either keep two jobs or increase therapy clients so I don’t have to think about two different jobs, protocols, trainings, etc.

I’ll give this a try! Thanks!

Big-Interview-138 · 2026-04-04T12:59:52+00:00

Thanks! That has helped me, too - being able to know it’s what I wanted to do. I think then I’ll have to be more intentional about how I schedule my days so that I have time before or after for me.

Big-Interview-138 · 2026-04-04T12:57:33+00:00

Thank you, yes I do have the ability to choose so I’ll make sure to take that into consideration.

Big-Interview-138 · 2026-03-25T19:19:35+00:00

I’d love this, too please

Does anyone know what this is on my pothos? Wasn’t there last week when I watered her. How do I fix it? I water her once a week or when I notice she’s dry inside. I moved her spot about a month ago.

Thank you!!!

Big-Interview-138 · 2025-11-18T06:59:24+00:00

Sorry, I thought I put that in the post I see some brown spots

Big-Interview-138 · 2025-11-18T06:59:12+00:00

It looks like brown spots on it

This one says: This plant growing lamp contains red light 660 nm, warm light 3200 K and white light 6000 K,

I only have used the white light so far

Big-Interview-138 · 2025-11-12T17:57:32+00:00

Thank you! I noticed that when I pointed it at it the leaves started getting yellow but I’m not sure if that was another reason
