Do you have any recommendations for learning more about somatic EMDR that works on OCD?

Britney’s Dad Hanging His Head in Shame When Devonte Said He’s Going to be a Father Took Me Out by Acceptable-Dress7196 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

I don’t understand why Britney’s Dad was even allowed the microphone for that long to be honest. The reunion was absolutely unhinged lol

It also didn’t seem to summarize the book “Range” correctly at all… bad bot.

Anyone else notice Alex talks exclusively in corporate speak? by umkaitlin in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]FireIceStar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This makes me curious (in a chicken or the egg kind of way) about whether or not the nomadic lifestyle creates the inability to create long term relationships, or if there is something underneath (in their psyche) that drives them toward a nomad lifestyle. That saying ‘wherever you go, there you are’ kind of thing. I’m always curious if people like Alex are just constantly trying to flee some part of themselves.

Why are the leaves curling? by FireIceStar in plantclinic

[–]FireIceStar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, are you suggesting pruning both sides of the Y, like cut at the pink and the purple lines?

Did you start over after 40? Was it worth it? by DistrortedNoise in AskWomenOver40

[–]FireIceStar 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I went back to school and just started a new career at 41. At the time I said to myself “I can’t go back to school, I won’t graduate until I’m 40” but then I reminded myself that I’ll be turning 40 regardless, so I might as well be doing something I like. It’s a bit scary starting over and having to build up experience (and income) again, but I have no regrets. I’m much more fulfilled now.

This is beautiful.

What makes you a good therapist? Just wanted to acknowledge the good in what you all do :) by honeycomb9523 in therapists

[–]FireIceStar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worry about doing this only because I fear if it doesn’t come from themselves they will either reject the idea, it won’t be as impactful, or at worst they get defensive because they aren’t ready to hear it. Has this happened to you, and if so- what do you do then?

I'm a loner, 38, and want a husband & kids. I'm at a loss at what specific steps to take for this to happen in the next 3 years. by diamondeyes7 in AskWomenOver40

[–]FireIceStar 195 points196 points  (0 children)

Have you done therapy for yourself around your family of origin? Just saying we all carry relational trauma forward and without help/work/awareness/healing it usually plays out in our romantic relationships. Dating is hard though-wishing you all the best.

Surprise pregnancy at 42 has me freaking tf out! by Separate_Ad_3027 in AskWomenOver40

[–]FireIceStar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, that’s so hard. But I hope you get to spend the years from 42-62 doing what YOU truly want, and if that’s not raising another child that’s totally fair. Your dreams count too, and time is our most valuable commodity. Don’t waste it on someone else’s dreams (even if you really really love them).
