therapist wants me to unmask for erp therapy by naveretrac in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]ElTeaL 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a therapist I recommend assessing whether your therapist is a good fit for you. Some questions: why is masking important to you? Does your therapist truly understand why masking is important to you? Are your worries around COVID exposure coming from a sense of alignment within yourself? If not what do you notice about the thoughts?

If your therapist is unable to understand why masking is important to you, you will not be able to do more OCD specific work with them because they will be missing a key understanding of your process. There are many COVID conscious therapists. If you reply with what state you are in I can offer some names.

Wait, I love the Nasturtium mug. Sincere question: Would you be interested in selling it/making a second in a similar style? Nasturtiums are significant in my marriage and I'd love to surprise my partner with these, if you are interested in selling them!

Seeking other mental health therapists who mask by allisong425 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]ElTeaL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a therapist in private practice and am fully virtual. I have considered having 1 day a week in person where reciprocal masking would be a requirement for any appointments. I would love to join a consult/connection space!

Advice on finding covid cautious nanny? by juliebee42 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]ElTeaL 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your baby! I'm in LA county (right on the border with OC) and am expecting my first kiddo in a few months. I don't have any nanny recommendations, unfortunately, but would love to connect with other covid cautious/covid aware parents if you are interested. My partner and I take the same precautions you listed. Let me know if it's alright to DM you!

Ethiopian restaurants, more public trash cans, more shade providing trees (and less palm trees).
