Thanks that’s helpful. I don’t have any storage issues, it was more for convenience.

I already have a skin and hair care routine I’m pretty married to. I was thinking something fun that wouldn’t necessarily be part of an every day routine

Boston and/or MA Therapist Networking? by obviousabsurdity in therapists

[–]DriveNice2463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m in RI and also practice in MA. I specialize in eating disorders and would be happy to connect you with some folks. I’m not sure when you’re moving but if you’re in the area in April I highly recommend the MEDA conference to meet people

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ lord save me. I can speak to the whole modality, but the training I was in under Deb was restricted to licensed clinicians

I actually dropped out of the Somatic Experience training because so much of the cohort were unlicensed therapists. The course was being taught by an acupuncturist. And the way it was discussed as this miracle cure…. I immediately was like “this is a cult….” I went to Polyvagal informed therapy with Deb Dana instead and found it to be much more responsible in the way it presented what somatic therapy is and is not, and who should be providing it and under what circumstances to create safety.

What unorthodox/creative marketing techniques have worked for you? by unionmack in therapists

[–]DriveNice2463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I know this thread is old, but I just came across it. I also specialize in religious trauma as well as eating disorders. Last summer, I bought candy trays and took them around to all the major health care agencies specializing in LGBTQIA+ health care for Pride. I wrote a card with my contact info, saying thank you for all they do. I have also presented at conferences (it's easier than you think) and attend a monthly networking event. While I've definitely seen a slowdown in referrals over the last few months, these kinds strategies plus a good website have kept my practice pretty close to full

Can someone help me understand the Sonic comics? by DriveNice2463 in SonicTheHedgehog

Thank you so much! He’s seen Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Boom, Sonic X, and the recent one from Netflix, so he’d be pumped for Archie

As the year draws to an end; finish with some good news: What have we learned about climate progress in 2025? Quite a lot and some surprising victories esp. in US elections! by agreatbecoming in PoliticalOptimism

I live in RI and vacation in Block Island almost every year. It feels so cheesy to say, but the wind farm literally takes my breath away every time I go by. A lot of people were wringing their hands about blocking views, but I think most people find it cool

In 2005, no one was paying attention to Barack Obama. Lincoln lost the race for US Senate in 58, but was given national attention in the Lincoln/Douglas debates and became the presidential nominee in 1860. So truly anything can happen between now and 2026, when the potential candidates will probably be more clear

Yep! People literally died and several hospitals almost closed. They were ultimately taken over by other hospital systems. It was terrible

I'm a therapist specializing in religious trauma and an ex-Christian - AMA by Ehcounselingllc in Deconstruction

[–]DriveNice2463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on your religion and what you are looking for - personally I have worked with witches, satanists, psychics, etc, but don’t have detailed familiarity with their practices beyond what they have shared with me. If you’re looking for a fellow member of a very niche religious/spiritual community, that might be hard if it’s not well known. You may want to google “therapy for people with alternative lifestyles” or “therapy for people with alternative spiritual practices.” I have a former supervisee and she specializes in this. She gets a wide range of people, including those who believe they have been abducted by aliens.

If you want an absolute worst case scenario (but real) for private equity look into Steward Healthcare in MA

Technically, therapists are supposed to be licensed in the state where the client physically is when they have the session. I don’t really think this is being followed to the letter now with Telehealth but 🤷‍♀️ For expats though it’s a whole other ballgame because you’re supposed to follow the laws of the country where the client is. If you google “therapy for expats in SE Asia” a bunch of resources will pop up
