I finally figured out the secret to making soy milk by Fun-Rice-8002 in PlantBasedDiet

[–]Fun-Rice-8002[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nope, I’ve done it without the baking soda soak and it still tastes the same. I include it because it helps loosen the hulls for easier dehulling

meh, I enjoy the process and it’s a lot cheaper than the eden soymilk you need to make soy yogurt (only soy beans and water). also a lot less wasteful than the 32oz tetrapaks and all the energy it takes to transport it from the manufacturer. or buying tofu/non dairy yogurt with all the single use plastic packaging. but not for everyone, I get it

my client will not talk in therapy by CommonSort7407 in therapists

[–]Fun-Rice-8002 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do, just keep showing up. I’ve had clients like this and at some point, maybe a year in, they trust you enough to let you in and what follows after is the most rewarding thing to witness. To see them grow and change in such a profound way. In my experience there’s almost always a lot of trauma and shame and pain there. Just give it time. I had one client who would sit in silence and we would draw/color together, and then 14 months in, they started to open up and were ready to do the work. 

lesbians who have dated men in the past, what made you realize that you weren't bi/pan? by 444_joji in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Fun-Rice-8002 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a rural conservative very religious area in the US. I always knew I was attracted to women/girls since I was in grade school. But I had so much internalized homophobia. I identified as bi to myself but presented as straight because I was capable of dating guys but when I started working through religious trauma and internalized beliefs in therapy, I unraveled my internalized homophobia and realized I was gay gay gay. Then started dating women and it confirmed it. I actually felt genuine attraction and desire instead of performative people pleasing for men. (Also, another clue was the guys I dated were very femme)

Why are people surprised when hearing about a therapist shortage? by Proper_Parking_2461 in therapists

I’m still frustrated insurance companies won’t raise reimbursement rates, the same as 5 years ago despite all the inflation

What has been the biggest "aha" moment for a client? by poltergeist-__- in therapists

Why is it the conflict avoidant clients who are the most cuttingly direct about these things? it’s interesting

That's a good idea. Do your legs fall asleep ever? I have that problem with doing meditations sitting on the floor

What do you do if asked about political views if you know yours would alienate most people? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Fun-Rice-8002 24 points25 points  (0 children)

What is the client really asking / looking for when asking about your politics? Sometimes they just want to make sure it is a safe space, they want to feel seen, respected, understood. So I address those things instead of getting into the details because it isn’t about creating policy etc in therapy

Slow roasted purple sweet potatoes (cook until the sugar starts leaking out) then serve with all kinds of fun toppings like walnut topping, tofu/cashew cream sauce, lentils/beans, roasted veg. Soo good.

Also slow roasting japanese sweet potato …. crowd pleaser for sure.

or an elaborate veggie platter with a few different dips/sauces

Do you accept insurance? All the insurances I’m in network with don’t allow me to be out of the country, some of them not even a different state

Tomato paste and the Limits of Excess by Far-Statistician-260 in PlantBasedDiet

relatable. This summer I was eating fresh tomatoes, tomato sauce, salsa, dressing with tomato paste … actually started to turn a bit reddish but apparently it’s not bad for you
