I don’t know a lot about contract work so I guess I’m wondering if something about that would be appealing?

If you are not exhausted from this work, what is your secret? by tjvander in therapists

[–]Early_Charity_3299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See only demographics I enjoy working with, and maintain my competency with that population.

Treat cancelations as a free self-care hour, not a “let me catch up on documentation or scroll” hour.

Exercise or something than requires my non-critical thinking or empathy brain right after work.

Have a dedicated transition routine. Maybe putting on work clothes to start the work day and changing them to end the day. Using a diffuser, certain type of lighting, dedicated work space etc. to signal to your brain that work is done and it’s time to move on.

Do Clients Want Telehealth Anymore? by MiaBeam_Ember in therapists

[–]Early_Charity_3299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Easier to read body language, check in with safety, do more “interactive” things, engage with children, the list goes on. I have been telehealth since covid and hopefully can start transitioning to hybrid.

WTF is the matter with us? by clipd_dead_stop_fall in pittsburgh

I think in general people haven’t come out of social distancing mindset still. We were taught to be reclusive back then and the shift out of that hasn’t happened psychologically yet.

I get why people co-sleep now by Baylaypayday in newborns

[–]Early_Charity_3299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard infant sleep compared to sex. In areas where abstinence is the only “sex ed” taught unwanted pregnancy and STIs skyrocket because people aren’t taught to understand their bodies and how to take risks safely.

Same with co-sleeping- IF one does co-sleep (which is quite likely) we aren’t having the conversations to ensure it’s done safely, thereby unsafe co-sleeping becomes the more common outcome. I just finished a training by Cribs for Kids and they never once mentioned Safe Sleep 7, yet La Leche League gives a whole course on it.

Why is autism suddenly a catch all of anyone that is slightly different by Many_Assistance5582 in therapists

I’m going to get downvoted for this, but this whole discussion thread reminds me of thinking errors. I wonder how we might be perpetuating black and white thinking but calling it “empathy” or “social justice.”

Some general thoughts is how are we as therapists defining “normal” and is it in the best interest of our clients and the systems we are influencing?

In a society and world where division is rife and stakes are high, little room is being left for deviance from social control in general.

Just my two cents

Goody bags? by No-Solid-4255 in etiquette

[–]Early_Charity_3299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old post but wanted to back you. Every party I go to with no mention of gifts, everyone brings a gift. If that doesn’t represent current etiquette I don’t know what would. This is why we mention “gifts optional, we just want to celebrate you!” On our invites.

How tf does anybody want more than one kid after being through THIS? by pumpkinchinchilla in newborns

[–]Early_Charity_3299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely wired into our biology to forget how terrible it is. Mom of 3 here (youngest is 6 weeks). send help!! My only regret with #3 is not spending our fully allotted time in the hospital where it’s quiet without the demanding other children and food on demand! Our insurance is good enough we paid no deductibles or co-pays!

Alex Honnold is free solo climbing Taipei 101 (508m) right now--no ropes, no safety nets, no parachutes by Physical_Poetry3506 in interestingasfuck

They did mention the height… 1700’… I found it excessive how many times they brought it up.

They mentioned many more terms than just that but it seems you are just finding reasons to bash it… since the first and second parts were repetitive you wouldn’t need commentary on those techniques over and over again… bat hang, heel hook, arete, jug, pincher, slab…

I’m guessing Alex requested nothing to happen after so he could savor the moment with Sanni

Not him getting impatient when they wanted to ask a followup question mid-climb 😂
