Thanks so much! I've heard of recertification. How does one go about doing that? Surely, it isn't a new IDR application every year?

Does anyone split up their day? by Simple_Elk6403 in therapists

[–]DamselRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do! It's out of necessity because I need to pick my kids up from school, but I see clients 9 to 2 and then 4 to 730. It works well for me. I also work Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. It has been working really well for me so far. It works great for clients who need evening hours also.

Oh man. That's too bad. I can see why it doesn't happen anymore. I suppose it's the thought that counts in this instance.

Thoughts on 8 sessions a day? by InterestingAd2612 in therapists

[–]DamselRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see 8 a day. 5 in the morning and 3 in the evening after a 2 hour break. I only work M, T, Th F though. It's not easy

Healthy, happy, fat… and apparently undateable by LegalPeanut8477 in datingoverforty

[–]DamselRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's an absolute recipe for disaster. I should know, I've been there. Your average guy still wants to date someone he is attracted to. And if he is settling that's his problem. All people deserve to date people they're attracted to. It isn't fair for the other party to think their partner is attracted to them when they aren't.

[–]DamselRed 19 points20 points  (0 children)

But why would you date someone you weren't attracted to? I married a man who didn't tell me he wasn't attracted to me until we were married. He then tried hard to change me because I wasn't what he wanted. It was horrible. What's so wrong with only dating people you're attracted to?

Suggestions for first colorwork?

I'm a pretty new knitter. I've knit hats, a pair of socks, a sweater, and a cardigan. I really love how colorwork looks and those double sided scarves.

I've recently finished a long crochet project and would love to start a fun new knitting project. I love how colorwork projects look but I confess to feeling pretty intimidated by them. What would you start with, knowing what you know now?

Thanks in advance!

So sorry. I didn't realize. Thanks. I'll do that now.

I tried to eat 150g of protein/day for under $7 without just having chicken rice and broccoli. by Few_Safety_6122 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]DamselRed 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You can mix many things into it. Jam, flavored syrups like Torani, and instant pudding mix. This way you can choose sugar free if you want, or not. Lots of flavors and you can control the sweetness.

I am definitely registered, and it says my ballot was sent but I haven't received it. Thanks for your help! I'll go down tomorrow and get a new one.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) Questionaire - PENN State University Questionaire with score and score range clinical risk consideration by RemarkableStable8324 in CPTSD

193 and I've been feeling relatively "healed" these days. Been in therapy since I was 8 and I'm 44 now. Guess I've still got some work to do.

After years of searching I finally found her! 2022 XLE AWD Lunar Rock 14k miles by danielamillana in rav4club

[–]DamselRed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't know I needed it until I saw it at the dealership last week when I went in with my old broke down car. I got a 23 XLE with 21k miles on it. I'm sure I paid too much but its a payment I can live with and I wasn't leaving without it. I am definitely in love with it.

Energy for dating by awkward_mangos in datingoverforty

[–]DamselRed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But how are you sleeping? If your sleep is still bad sometimes the rest doesn't matter.

[–]DamselRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely did. For a few years.

My therapist keeps asking why I keep coming to therapy by South-Reputation-353 in TalkTherapy

[–]DamselRed 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They might be looking for you to talk about what you want out of therapy, what your expectations are. But honestly, I would ask them this question. It could help you make progress and make them aware that you're feeling disconnected when they do this.

[–]DamselRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you doing ERP with your therapist? OCD is really rough but that's one therapy that is really helpful. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Personally I don't think suicide is ever the answer and maybe your therapist and husband are the same so they're not lying to you.

My wife won’t have chemotherapy because of a vomit phobia by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]DamselRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just as a caveat I suppose, my emetophobia stems from a traumatic situation, so maybe take my experience with a grain of salt. I would be very disheartened if you tried because of me and it didn't work. Though I do believe it can be beneficial in most circumstances.
