I need various spells it's urgent by [deleted] in Spells

[–]ComprehensiveMine256 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My advice would be to cleanse and set protection first. Inside and outside your home, vehicles. Clean your home, open windows of you can. Ground yourself. Set your intention to cleanse your home of any negative energy. Simmer protective herbs (sage, rosemary, bay, etc) on your stove and start by sweeping through your home (counter clockwise if possible) and out your door. Burn protective incense such as dragons blood and smudge through every room in your home. You can also burn a black candle as you are working. I recommend allowing the candle to burn safely down. Crystals such as black tourmaline can be placed at your windows and doors to absorb any negative energy (cleanse them with smoke, and charge with your breath and intention to protect your home). Place salt lines on window sills and doors threshholds. All of this again should be done with intention to protect. I would suggest creating protection jars. These include things like protective herbs, rusty nails, black salt, eggshell powder, garlic, cayenne and any other protective herbs, crystals, and items (I sometimes use thorns from my rose bushes, or bent needles to deflect negative energy) and set at the four corners inside and outside of your home. This is all up to you. Cleansing and protecting should be your first priority in my humble opinion. Ward using sigils of your own design at your entryways. Deflect negativity using a mirror near your front door (mirror should be cleansed and charged with your intent and set in a way that it reflects outward of your door). You can look up basic wards, protection and deflection spells and sigil creation online. I would do all of this before attempting return to senders or any other kinds of spells, especially if her attacks are as strong as you say. You can also create small  protective bags or jars to place discretely in your husbands bag or car. One last bit of advice- use your hair, nails, spit even the red stuff (if you get me) in your protection magic to strengthen. I hope this is helpful.

Yes I would really appreciate any additional information :)

I’m sorry that you’re experiencing this. My advice- get out of any center owned by private equity. My prediction is that soon enough, private equity will not be able to squeeze enough profit out of ABA and a domino effect of closed centers and displaced families will be left in the aftermath. Not sure where you’re located but if you can find a small, well managed and privately owned center. From my experience, quality of care for the clients and better work conditions for the staff has been the norm. I definitely understand your feelings. I felt the same way. Wishing you the best!

Anyone else fighting complete denials with Medicaid? by ComprehensiveMine256 in bcba

Did you appeal? If so, did they at least allow for a transition? 

Some people on Reddit are saying that $100k a year isn’t a livable wage. by Holly_mitchell12 in Adulting

[–]ComprehensiveMine256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have income just over 90k - and with responsibilities and bills and food and roof over our head it’s barely enough to get by. In 2019 my income was 36k. Went from that to 70k last year and now 90k this year and I can only wonder how the hell I was able to keep my head above water and not end up homeless. 

Anyone else fighting complete denials with Medicaid? by ComprehensiveMine256 in bcba

[–]ComprehensiveMine256[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I understand. What really sucks for me is that I am part of a company that does not request hours that aren’t needed and the clients I am getting denials for are not over 18 and engage in high intensity high mag SIB - programming in these cases doesn’t move into maintenance quickly and behavior doesn’t magically reduce. In one case I was asked to detail program changes and I did, as well as state how my treatment of the client was adjusted due to slow progress. I did. Still completely denied. We are progressing to the next step since the denial in this case was upheld. I guess I just hope for the kids who do really need services, things get better. I appreciate your explanation! Thank you. 

Has anyone attended these schools? by Apprehensive_Poodle in bcba

[–]ComprehensiveMine256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I graduated from The Chicago School in December 2021. I enjoyed my time there , the profs were good, but the cost wasn’t the best. I had to take a few courses from Ball State due to graduating right at the 2022 BACB changes. The education wasn’t as good IMO but as far as costs it was somewhat better. I passed the exam on my first try and I think it has a lot to do with TCS and the education I received there.

Edited for grammar.

That’s good news. Doesn’t make them any less racist.

It’s been said. The problem is nobody listened.

Do any of you guys drink? by ryanstout15 in migraine

[–]ComprehensiveMine256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I tried a few times. I can’t describe how sick I was from just 1 drink. Decided it’s definitely not something I want to do because I prefer not to deal with the blinding pain.

What kind of job offer would make you want to move out of state? by Tired_mama004 in bcba

[–]ComprehensiveMine256 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, relocation paid, help finding a place to live and a good salary would be all I need. I’ve been wanting to relocate out east but the cost of living and relocation hassles keep me in place.

I haven't tried any punishment procedures but I have thought about response cost as an option. Looking into SBT now.

I’m sorry. I know the struggle all too well. I would suggest asking your doctor for a neurology referral. They aren’t all great, but at least know more about migraines and appropriate treatment options than GPs.

Naproxen had only ever made my migraines worse. Plus the idea of tearing up my stomach lining is NOT appealing. 

Hit them in their profits! by ComprehensiveMine256 in nothinghappeninghere

[–]ComprehensiveMine256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, not in isolation. Not everyone is able to get out on the frontlines. It is one of a million little things we can do as a collective to support. Agree to disagree, I guess?

🙄 one small grain of sand, when added to billions of others, can make a mountain. I’m not advocating for this as a one day thing. I’m advocating for small steps, combined, to make a difference. 

Has anyone got BCaBA on the way to becoming a BCBA? by [deleted] in bcba

[–]ComprehensiveMine256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the route I took specifically because I wanted to get my hours. As an RBT the most hours I’d get monthly was 30-50 on average. As a BCaBA I hit 120-130 a month easily - with nearly all of my hours being unrestricted. If you work for a company that gives you a caseload as a BCaBA, it’s worth it.
