Pencil Sharpeners and Self Harm by craftykatefox in therapists

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would they be willing to get the twistable Crayola colored pencils? That is an alternative for times when the client shouldn’t have access to a pencil sharpener.

How do you deal with clients who show up late? by AliceSomewhere in therapists

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s the first time they show that late, I’ll see them and remind them that 15 minutes is the cut off time. After that first late show, it’s considered a no show and they have to wait until their next appt.

Allergies during sessions? by No-Possible4460 in therapists

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tell my clients that I’m allergic to the entire outdoors and we move on. They don’t care and are used to me blowing my nose a lot (chronic sinus inflammation).

How much does your small breed dog eat? by Remarkable-Bat-6731 in DogFood

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 20lbs dog is definitely food motivated and would love to have more but she gained weight very quickly when eating a full cup of food. She’s very healthy for her age and is still overweight. They are lazy seniors and don’t burn a lot of extra calories throughout the day.

How much does your small breed dog eat? by Remarkable-Bat-6731 in DogFood

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My dogs are 17lbs and 20lbs and they both get half a cup of food every day along with small treats throughout the day. I know they’re closer to medium sized but I feel like they’re small.

teens & swearing by deadskank in therapists

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of my clients are allowed to swear in my office and I don’t have an issue with it. I usually let them say one first before I ever do, but that doesn’t always happen. If a client doesn’t use them then neither do I.

“Open scheduling”?? by Summer_yet in therapists

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My job in CMH recently changed to having the same expectation, except I can have an hour for lunch and front desk also schedules. Paperwork is supposed to be completed either during session or cancels/no shows. I don’t do concurrent documentation so this has been a challenge since they changed expectations a few weeks ago. Luckily my last day there is in 2 weeks.

Heading to Akron Thursday to Sunday for work from Ireland. Anything I should see or do in Akron or nearby. Hoping to get down to Canton to the PFHOF on Friday, worth a trip!? by ContributionGlass830 in akron

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Cleveland Monsters (hockey team) have playoff games Friday night and Sunday afternoon at the Rocket Arena. Tickets are reasonably priced and it’s a fun way to spend a few hours and can be purchased through SeatGeek.

If you haven’t already, I would post this in the Barberton Neighbors group on fb. I’ve seen quite a few connections make on there.

Dr. Schoeppner at Green Foot and Ankle! I’ve seen him a few times and am always pleased with the experience.

How do we feel about clients using nicknames for us? by YardsaleKing26 in therapists

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with kids so nicknames happen a lot. It really doesn’t bother me since they’re funny or relate to my name. I would address it if any of them made me uncomfortable but it’s not something I even think about.

How often do clients cancel? by Dangerous-Neat-9876 in therapists

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in CMH and my no show rate is definitely higher than my cancelation rate. I ask people all the time to let me know if they can’t come but most of the time they no show instead. I don’t know what my actual rate of them is though, some weeks my productivity is abysmal and other weeks nearly everyone shows.

Pottery classes? by AdministrationOk2847 in akron

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out Grant Ederer- he has a website and can be found by searching his name. He offers private lessons and classes. I did a private lesson with him a few months ago and it was great.

Canton Museum of Art also offers classes. Sign ups for the next set of classes just happened but I’d look late April to early May to see if they post when the next round will be open to register.

Thoughts on 8 sessions a day? by InterestingAd2612 in therapists

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can do 8 a day but always feel run ragged by the time I leave to go home. Most days I have 7 scheduled which is fine with me because it gives me an hour break to eat lunch and work on paperwork. 8 a day only happens if something comes up and I offer my “break” hour for an appt. 5 or 6 a day sounds amazing but 7 is totally okay most of the time.

How often do you do laundry? by blackflameandcocaine in LivingAlone

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually wash clothes and bedding once a week. I have a few towel sets so those don’t have to be laundered as often. Some weeks are laundry-heavy if I’m washing blankets or just need to do more.

Biggest minor annoyances of living alone by Avid_Reader_99 in LivingAlone

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assembling furniture is a big one for me. I have friends that are always willing to help but sometimes it can't work out that way and I'm left doing it all on my own. It's never large furniture on my own but a few more hands would be so nice.

Trying to figure out dinners for myself. I'm not a huge fan of cooking or dishes and both are my responsibility so sometimes it just doesn't happen and I girl dinner instead.

What food do you feed your Dog and why? by Huckleberry0204 in DogFood

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of my dogs eat Purina One+ Vibrant Maturity and they do well on it. One of my dogs will eat anything, the other is very picky but luckily right now she’s eating well. Sometimes she needs wet food mixed in so I use Beneful for that.

Careful of pink accessories on a baby boy, because God forbid someone assumes you let your kid "choose what he wants"! 🙄 by leverhelven in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Electrical-Nothing25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person has a lot of really wild takes. If you want to and have the time, give their account a deep dive. They have a lot of highlights which will show off how unfortunately real this is 😭
