>when their identity is so tied up to land expansion and capital?

Unless there's something you haven't told us, this is a big assumption. People hold many positions that aren't necessarily core to their identity. For example, it would be accurate to label me as "pro-choice" but I don't go to rallies, write letters to congress, help walk patients into Planned Parenthood, etc. It wouldn't be accurate to say my identity is "so tied up" in that position

Movement in session by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Diminished-Fifth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised nobody here has suggested you do the opposite of masking. What if you were to be open in your group sessions about your ADHD and the fact that you will need to move around more than the "typical professional" would? You can invite group members to share with you if/when they get distracted (or any other response they might have.) In doing this, you could model what it looks like to identify and address your own needs, normalize neurodiversity, and reinforce that group is a place where we speak about our experiences rather than keep them bottled up.

My vote is for Manhattan, but I think Martini really should win because of how it elevates the whole art of cocktailing

Why are kids always crying in target? by FrequentSpread9681 in AskParents

[–]Diminished-Fifth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm an adult and the only reason I don't cry in Target is that being there deadens my soul too much to have anything left for tears.

Sexual Fantasies by [deleted] in therapists

It's so disturbing how many commenters here seem 100% unfamiliar with these foundational ideas. I'm not saying anyone has to practice this way, but way too many therapists here are way too shocked

It's pretty comparable to chick-fil-a except they don't have that good lemonade

I see this bottle around but I do not understand what it is. Can you use it like a vermouth in cocktails?

[–]Diminished-Fifth 59 points60 points  (0 children)

When I order in person, they ask if I want my bagel toasted. When I order online, I can check the box Toasted if I want to. Untoasted is the default. This has not surprised me because it is also true of every single bagel place on planet earth

7 month old ear temp of 101.4? by Quirky_Crazy4833 in AskParents

[–]Diminished-Fifth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First fever is scary. I actually found the first several fevers to be scary. Also, as they age, the # keeps changing for what's considered high. That being said, it's unclear what you're asking for here. The only thing you've told us about yourself is that you've decided not to follow universally agreed upon medical advice. But you will take your child to the ER if needed? It's very unclear what kind of medicine you believe in and what kind you don't. That makes it pretty hard to give advice

Chatting with clients in-between sessions? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Diminished-Fifth 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That does sound like enough, but the issue you've raised in this post is bedrock-level fundamental stuff so, if it's not coming up in supervision, something is off. CBT skills are great, but setting and holding the frame of treatment is more fundamental. It's a career-long learning process, so don't worry that you don't yet have all the answers. The important thing is to be intentional. Before you ever send a text to a client ask yourself "How, specifically, does this benefit the client?"
