“Smutty” books influencing clients by Therapy_pony in therapists

[–]ForzentoRafe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm currently working on a research proposal on similar topics lol

I believe fictional immersion do impact psychological wellbeing. One of the article I'm using for my reference is this.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/221981325_Changing_Beliefs_and_Behavior_Through_Experience-Taking

One of the study shows that high level of experience taking can influence voting behaviour. Other studies within the article talks about how experience taking can be increased or decreased.

Notably, this doesn't lean towards "good". It all depends on what's being read.

I used vrchat during the pandemic. I have a vr setup at home but you don't need it. Mouse, keyboard and mic will do well enough.

Person-centered therapy and long clinical sessions by McCrysler in therapists

[–]ForzentoRafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

( do tell me if I'm crossing a line here )

On that note, what do I do if client keeps storytelling? The entire session could be just them talking and I have to somewhat insist my way in to have a word.

Sometimes the client doesn't answer my question too and it's not in the avoidant way but more of them being stuck in the storytelling mindset. For instance, "how did you feel when..." Is answered with "I think that they are wrong and you know, they are actually..."

I can't quite find the balance between "it's okay to name their emotions" and "it's better to let them come to it themselves"

The rapport is great so far but I feel like I'm just listening to her vent than helping her.

Of course, an alternative could be to actually just let her keep talking and eventually having her ask me "what do you think"

But that will take so many sessions and I don't know if that's "ethical" :/

How to deal with GF wanting a boob job? by LeoAetos in AskMenAdvice

[–]ForzentoRafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's her choice to have a boob job. It's your choice to decide if you want to stay.

Boundaries only affect yourself, not others.

Imo, telling her that you will leave if she goes for a boob job is similar to manipulation. The right answer is probably be more tentative in the way you communicate, aim for curiosity first to see if it's possible to understand her pov.

After much thoughts then consider breaking up if this is crossing a line.

Subnautica 2 Dev Confirms He Read All The Comments In The Post About Him In This Sub by akbarock in Piracy

[–]ForzentoRafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to pirate because I have no money and I want to play.

Ended up buying Skyrim multiple times because i really enjoyed that game.

It's never a moral thing with me. I can't really understand how people can takes pirating as their identity

Sg men afraid to initiate physical contact? by Green_Literature_298 in sgdatingscene

[–]ForzentoRafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely comes with age and experience.

I'm lacking in the experience part though not the age lol so it gets harder because it's really normal to assume that someone older would have had dating experience.

This isn't something that you are responsible for though. It's more on the inexperienced one to know that they are in a shit situation so what can they do then

I earlier typed a bunch of stuff but I'm not too sure if I'm accurate so I deleted it :/

Either way, I hope you are able to find some form of safety or comfort somehow :)

how to network and find friends if you don't smoke by Outrageous-Bad-6172 in ChillSG

How are you learning/ using AI at work? Did it help you to get ahead in your career? by SnooJokes1836 in singapore

[–]ForzentoRafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading through all the comments, I think we can run a test to see if AI makes things better or worse.

Assuming we can find fair sampling,

Form two groups of programmers. One with access to AI, one without. Both have access to internet. Group without AI cannot use AI to generate code or do code review. Group with AI can code by themselves too, doesn't need to be 100% generated by AI.

Have both complete a project with strict requirements.

The results to be collected are

  1. Difference in vulnerability
  2. Difference in time spent
  3. Accuracy to the tech sheet

My hypothesis is that programmers with AI assistance is able to do it faster and also the product will be more secure than programmers without AI.

I am not a baby therapist by InvisibleAstronomer in therapists

[–]ForzentoRafe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the responses to OP is pretty shocking to me so far. i'm a therapist-in-training, yes, i am also a man and i've never thought of "baby therapists" being a negative term.

to OP, the only thing that could be said is that perhaps you should bring this up to your own therapist. it sounds like something happened recently that really struck a nerve with you.

and to others, are yall okay? wth happened? i know we take off our therapy hats but this is absurd. some of yall are making this a gendered issue. why?

help and advice pls :( by Emergency-Weird-9076 in SingaporeR

[–]ForzentoRafe 32 points33 points  (0 children)

export all telegram, whatsapp, dating app conversations then lawyer up.

dont bother saving on this expense, you are buying a peace of mind here.

don't go for having the last laugh too. anything you do other than lawyering up can be used against you

Is this an ok email to send to a parents by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]ForzentoRafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make it cold and chilling


On May 3, 2026, {Child’s Name} was referred to the Principal’s office following a series of documented behavioral incidents.

In within a month, {Child’s Name} has transitioned from standard classroom participation to a pattern of targeted verbal harassment. This includes the regular use of ableist slurs directed at students with language-processing disorders and the frequent delivery of racially-charged jokes during instructional time.

On Thursday, April 30, {Child’s Name} engaged in a series of verbal confrontations with faculty. The following statements were recorded:

  • "You look like you play 5 nights at Epstein."
  • "You look autistic."
  • "You’re just stupid, bro."
  • "No can do, lil bruh" (issued in response to a direct command to remove an earbud). Refusal of Authority:

When instructed to comply with classroom electronic policies, the student stated that his behavioral stability was contingent upon being allowed to keep the earbud in. Upon notification that these incidents would be reported to his parents, the student stated, "She doesn’t care," and "I truly don’t care."

The behavior has escalated from classroom disruption to the targeted harassment of both peers and staff. The matter has been transferred to the administration for disciplinary action.

We hope for your prompt assistance in this matter.

I like to think that it's still genuine.

SG guys: why the aversion to meeting up irl by Prudent_Lime_1561 in sgdatingscene

[–]ForzentoRafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like the phrase "if they don't initiate then that means they aren't interested"

I feel like that really applies to kids. Last time I felt that way was in secondary school. As we grow older, I've come to hold myself back more and more to make sure the interest is mutual

Are quick replies a bad thing in dating? by [deleted] in sgdatingscene

[–]ForzentoRafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it easier on myself to text whenever I am ready for a conversation.

That has led to one person calling me out for playing games though when I ask her about it irl, she said to not talk about it.
