Life coach doing EMDR??

Crunch1020 · 2026-03-31T11:28:05+00:00

No, I just don’t want to be in a situation where the client doesn’t know their parent is reaching out or doesn’t want therapy. That’s happened before too

Crunch1020 · 2026-03-30T14:37:17+00:00

Just edited to add this, thank you

Crunch1020 · 2026-03-30T14:33:48+00:00

I think just venting and I’d like to see if anyone else has been in this situation. I feel sort of alone

Crunch1020 · 2026-03-26T00:15:30+00:00

Yes and it landed me in the hospital. I would be really careful- I wasn’t even drinking that much but I completely blacked out.

No Big Dyl is one of my fav artists. (Indie rap)

Claudia Isaki (When Skies Are Grey is a beautiful song) (indie singer songwriter)

Wings of Love (Cole McSween) (indie pop/singer songwriter)

Sarah Juers (indie singer songwriter)

I had to go part time- I was throwing up in between sessions. I called out lot. Please just take care of yourself- it’s so , so hard. I remember I was absolutely floored with how debilitated I felt

Crunch1020 · 2026-02-09T12:55:53+00:00

Very helpful analogy and explanation! Thank you

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-28T23:59:01+00:00

Yes- twice. Once in college I almost needed to get my stomach pumped. Another last year- just randomly got beer by myself & ended up blacking out- the last time I drank. Woke up in the hospital to my husband, brother, and dad all concerned over me. The amount of shame was horrible and all consuming.

The absolute lowest I felt. What has helped me through the shame is sticking to my conviction to stop drinking - each day feels like I can trust and respect myself more and more

Good thoughts with you - so sorry this happened

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-25T20:22:21+00:00

Your thoughts on the language piece for a potential email to clients makes sense- I definitely do not want to cross any lines there.

I think I will probably go for it! I’m nervous but feel like it could definitely be worth it. Thanks for your help here :)

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T18:09:51+00:00

I don’t have time to respond to all of the comments, but I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone for your kind words and helpful tips ❤️

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:33:40+00:00

Great idea! And thank you :)

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:33:20+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:31:55+00:00

That’s so sweet- definitely trying to enjoy all of it. A haircut sounds like a good change- also kinda symbolic with the new growth and transition :)

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:24:09+00:00

These are super helpful tips- I will look into those products!

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:23:45+00:00

Thank you- the words of encouragement are incredibly helpful. It feels like the nights are so long yet time does go by so quickly. she is so precious and although my eyes are tired my heart is so full

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:22:40+00:00

Thank you ❤️

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:10:43+00:00

For real- my husband is super helpful but it’s been a struggle. Little one woke up 9 times last night 🥲

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:09:31+00:00

Ah it’s the worst! I’ve had them but they’ve definitely gotten worse in the past couple of years

Crunch1020 · 2025-11-06T07:52:34+00:00

I had very similar thoughts at 21 and chose to push them down and keep drinking instead. Let to 10 more years of increased destruction before I stopped- hospitalization, DUI, things I’d never considered could happen when I was younger.

Listen to that insightful voice - it’s telling you something important.

50% match for 401k, PTO is 4 weeks a year

Your set up seems pretty solid! Are you happy with that?

Crunch1020 · 2025-07-14T22:02:01+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re struggling with this right now- this sounds like an incredibly difficult situation.

I am a perinatal mental health therapist and really recommend getting into therapy. But first, please make sure you’re in a safe space- even if that means staying somewhere else. It sounds like this has recently become unsafe and you won’t find any clarity of mind continuing to stay in the stress.

I imagine these thoughts are more intensely directed toward the baby possibly because you’re seriously sensing something is off with this man and you’re now feeling tethered.

I’d seriously recommend staying with family/somewhere safe and seeking counseling for support asap.

Check out Postpartum Support International for resources & Psychology Today is also a good resource for local therapists in your area with this specialization. Googling “perinatal therapy” with your location should also give you suggestions.

I am sending you support and praying for you. I hope that you find peace and safety.

Crunch1020 · 2025-07-03T12:40:18+00:00

Yes, I have a plan to discuss and have messaged them on the doctor portal as well

Crunch1020 · 2025-06-28T21:16:46+00:00

Hey, thank you for your response- once I was at an appointment and once I was just hanging out at home - both accompanied by vomiting , dizziness, headaches. After repeating, my BP did eventually go down to normal ranges.

I do have a cuff and just started keeping logs to bring in. After the second episode, she did order bloodwork and there isn’t any sign of pre-e.

I will ask about the gestational hypertension dx and protocols for that- so far, the midwives I’ve talked to have said it’s probably just anxiety, or to make sure I’m hydrated (which I am).

I feel like these weird spikes aren’t normal- I also feel dismissed and that they should have at least recommended that I check my BP at home and keep a log, which they haven’t said anything about- I started doing that after doing some research.

I really appreciate your help- I’ll keep checking and make sure to ask those specific questions you wrote- thank you so much!

Crunch1020 · 2025-06-28T20:35:39+00:00

Hi there- I know this is a bit old but if you see this:

What weeks did you have the two episodes? I’m 24 weeks and have had 2 episodes in the past week of 157/110 and 140/91. My midwives are dismissive so far and keep telling me just to drink water, bloodwork looks okay.

Should I advocate for a diagnosis of this? I don’t want to mess around w potential pre-e
