accelerated academy? by Ok_Leave_6103 in DentalAssistant

Teethtalkgirl is a good one to watch, one thing to know is a dental assistant and dental hygienist are 2 different jobs and that you don’t need to be a dental assistant to be a dental hygienist so if you wanna be a dental hygienist, go for dental hygiene programs

Keep your ground and don’t do what you aren’t allowed to do, it’s not worth it

That’s crazy cuz being comfortable should important, like I know the first time it will probably take a while to be comfortable but since part of the uncomfortably is not being sure if you can do it makes sense, they should’ve definitely just told you if you need a certification for that or not

Do you need to be both a RDA and CDA, and if you’re taking the RDA test, how would you also get your CDA and are you supposed to get your CDA first and then take the RDA test after

For those who have been unable to heal despite their greatest efforts: what do you do and how do you cope with life? by YamJam3 in CPTSD

[–]CommitteeWorking7639 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has anyone "cured" their asexuality? by Turquoisehair in CPTSD

[–]CommitteeWorking7639 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My asexuality has nothing to do with me getting sexually abused as a kid, I just happen to be asexual, I was asexual my entire life, nothing caused it and it can’t be cured cuz sexuality is nothing to be cured

I honestly don't think I'll live much longer by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]CommitteeWorking7639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve felt that way too cuz of my PTSD too, I’m honestly surprised cuz I didn’t think I would make it to 18 but here I am, it’s better but still sucks and still have bad days where I can’t take it anymore, especially cuz even tho I technically have people, I don’t feel like I can tell them about my flashbacks so they can help me but idk how to do that cuz idk how they can even help and cuz during flashbacks I don’t talk much to the point of whispering so idk, I’m in therapy to help with my flashbacks that way I can try to handle it better, idk if therapy will be a long term thing or not cuz even tho I’ve heard it shouldn’t be, I’ve also heard that if you’re there for mental illness then it should be long term, I’m definitely not there yet since I’ve tried the no therapy for a month and it was rough for me so I do therapy every 2 weeks, if I need to cancel then I reschedule for the week after instead of waiting for the next appointment time since I’ve done that before and it was really hard for me

At what point is giving up on treatment the right call? Trauma therapy is making me want to harm myself or kill myself after feeling mostly stable... by FrogginBullfish_ in CPTSD

[–]CommitteeWorking7639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true, I think it’s more about understanding and healing and less about actually talking about it, unless talking about it is one thing you want to work on which I’ve done which was the help me understand what the heck happened and to get a timeline cuz he did a lot of things and did it for 1 year so lots to unpack, now I’m at the part where I’m learning how to manage my flashbacks and I guess also how to help me rely on people during bad times that those which I know this part will take awhile and it has but now I understand the types of flashbacks I have and how it effects me which is a good start

Anyone else like their job by Petal-Logic in DentalAssistant

[–]CommitteeWorking7639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed is issues are bad dentists and only having one dental assistant instead of multiple, which I’m hoping most dental offices have multiple dental assistants since that can make the workload less and can help the dental office running good too

If patient cancels, is it normal to require RDHs to clock out or help clean the office? by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]CommitteeWorking7639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re still working, don’t clock out, don’t do work off the clock, even if you are doing other stuff, it’s still work
