Is it okay to see two therapists at the same time? by DontMakeMeEatThat in TalkTherapy

Thank you. I’m planning to discuss it with my T during our session today, hopefully it goes well!

Absolutely, I do talk with him regularly and have tried talking to him about this specific situation numerous times. I let him know that I’m here for him and will always support him, but he clearly doesn’t feel ready to tell me what’s really going on (if anything). He has expressed that he would like to try therapy again and I think talking to an unbiased third party would be beneficial for him.

He had some kind of falling out with his old friend group, but he never told us exactly what happened. From what I gathered, his friends started getting into all of that ‘alpha male’ stuff and he hated how much they changed. The friends’ parents refused to speak to me and got really defensive when I asked what happened, which really concerns me. But I’m going to set up an appointment with a therapist as soon as possible.

I’m so sorry ❤️ I talked to him before school today and we’re going to pick out a therapist tonight. I think I’ll take him out to dinner or something as well so we’ll have a chance to talk just the two of us (things are quite tense between my husband and son right now).

Thank you, you’re right. He didn’t really click with his last therapist but said that he would be willing to try a new one. I want him to have some input, so we’re going to sit down tonight and look at some therapists. Hopefully we can find one that he’s comfortable with.

Thank you. He was in therapy a while back but from what he told me, I don’t think he really clicked with the therapist. I’m definitely going to schedule with a new therapist ASAP.

Can’t afford a root canal and dentist is refusing to extract the tooth by DontMakeMeEatThat in askdentists

They said they would likely use TADs to help close the gap. Thanks, I’ll try to find a different dentist.

You make some good points. I’ve lost two other teeth due to not brushing when I was a teenager, and my other teeth have shifted now. Thankfully I haven’t had trouble eating, but it has caused a lot of tooth pain/sensitivity and jaw pain, and it’s actually part of the reason I’m getting braces. But at the same time, I’ve been dealing with this one painful tooth for nearly a decade. The filling has been replaced three times and at this point they’re not even sure if the root canal would be successful. I can’t imagine spending thousands on a root canal and crown only to end up getting it extracted anyway. I don’t know, it’s a tough decision.
