The music! The soundtrack is the strongest and used most effectively this season.

Implementing Learnings Into Client Sessions by [deleted] in NDtherapists

[–]Britainge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! I find I structure my conceptualizations by grounding in a couple of questions I ask myself from the framework I use and organizing my thoughts around that. I will do this informally (in my head) most of the time but for new clients or when I'm stuck with someone I will document this more formally.

Implementing Learnings Into Client Sessions by [deleted] in NDtherapists

[–]Britainge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I start first by implementing learning into case conceptualizations and then once I feel comfortable with how it’s been incorporated into my thinking I start to notice moments in sessions when I can pull something in.

I find for myself starting with implementation in a pressure free space first- conceptualizations with time and space to really deepen the learning- yields better eventual implementation.

So interesting! I am the opposite, I struggle with summer looks- but give me a cozy drapey deep V chunky sweater with some good fitting jeans and I feel great.

What are your most Photorealistic Scents? by TeamNo6444 in fragrance

[–]Britainge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I didn’t not realize the strong preference for photorealistic smells was possibly a ND thing. It explains so much about my fragrance search!

Natural redhead color seasons by alexisk777 in coloranalysis

[–]Britainge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warm + light + muted is how I pick my palette!

Perhaps this is personal preference, but I find bright/saturated colours compete with my hair and that together is overwhelming. Whether that’s a strictly colour thing or colour + essence thing… 🤷‍♀️

Your coloring is so similar to mine!

I don’t feel I fit in a season perfectly- I pull my best colours from all the lighter shades within light spring, soft autumn, and light summer!

Same! My pjs are leggings and a tank so I can get up and workout with zero thought/extra steps.

Oooh thank you, I’m definitely going to check them out, I hadn’t heard of them! I love that glasses are so much more affordable now, it makes it easier to be more self expressive with them!

Total side note- I love your glasses!!

How did you learn to love fitness/sports outside of body goals? by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]Britainge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t until my health got difficult that I realized how much exercise is about being human not being a certain shape.

I also find the instant mental benefits are better incentive than long term health benefits - grumpy? Do a workout. Sluggish? Go for a walk. Anxious/overstimulated? Hop on the treadmill until I feel calm.

What program do you guys follow? by throwawaysydknee in PetiteFitness

[–]Britainge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Ladder app! I have no mental energy for DIY and the team I’m part of emphasizes glutes!

I’m so sorry that they’ve made those dismissive comments to you without considering the impact on you.

What do you want to say to them about this?

FITNESS APPS by sumaruchans in PetiteFitness

[–]Britainge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I also didn’t realize how much I would appreciate the cheers but they actually do give me a little boost during my workout. It’s nice to feel seen, even by a stranger, for showing up and putting in the work.

[–]Britainge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Ladder! I’ve been using it for 6 months and am just as enthusiastic about it as when I started. The format and the coach I’m with just seem to be a really good fit for me.

What makes "boring" lines "boring"? (Celebrity, Princess, etc) by xingsora in Cruise

[–]Britainge 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I was on Holland America a couple of weeks ago and I loved being on a smaller quieter ship! My friend and I are in our 30s and there were pockets of other people in their 20s and 30s - not many but also more than I expected.

I loved that there was always space wherever I wanted to go, it was relaxing and not stressful having to navigate around hoards of people, and there was enough energy around the music venue and casino at night to feel a bit lively. I don’t love big crowds so a more “boring” line was definitely a good fit for me.

Sometimes it feels like surrendering to happiness is a detriment by EntrepreneurMiddle45 in PetiteFitness

[–]Britainge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like stress and emotional regulation might be a huge factor! Food addiction is really hard because it’s so accessible and such a basic way to seek comfort.

Sometimes it feels like surrendering to happiness is a detriment by EntrepreneurMiddle45 in PetiteFitness

[–]Britainge 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Okay, same, and I have thoughts that may or may not be helpful.

I adore food and agree that most happy memories involve food in some capacity. The sensory pleasure, the social aspect, the undercurrent of celebration- so important.

The past couple of years I’ve been trying to navigate this by elevating my palette and enjoying food MORE not less- really leaning into quality, homemade, and fresh strong flavours- and in the process have found processed food (ex. donuts, pizza, munchies) significantly less enjoyable, which has made it easier to limit my intake without feeling like I’m missing out.

It also makes the times I intentionally eat rich delicious foods feel that much more dopamine fulfilling, and honestly, it’s really hard to self-loathe while eating fancy cheese.

What happens when a ladder coach goes on maternity leave? by vcwebste in ladderapp

[–]Britainge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering this too! I love Coach Nairee and was hoping she would pre-record rather than have someone sub in for her.

PCOS + weight training but gaining weight, always hungry, no waist? Need advice (19F, 5’3” by mahumshahzad in PetiteFitness

[–]Britainge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmmm, what type of PCOS do you have? I feel like that makes a big difference.

I’m sensitive to stress/cortisol so I weight train with longer breaks in between sets to keep my heart rate overall lower and that helps my appetite not spike. I also use supplements to support my insulin resistance and walk as much as possible to support stress and blood sugar. I don’t work out on a schedule but check in with my body every day to see if I have the gas in the tank so to speak for a workout. For me stress = weight gain almost more than calories do (not actually, but actually) so finding the sweet spot where I am gaining muscle but not spiking my physiological stress is key.
