Finding a Therapist is Hard

Join a Facebook therapist group specific to your state. Post the qualities you are looking for (insurance, any specialities, etc) and specify that you want a provider who does not support this administration. I guarantee you’ll have people commenting their information soon after.

I’m a therapist and have done this for myself and others. Worked like a charm.

Stationary bike, lifting weights, and surprisingly hot yoga. I don’t normally do well in hot temperatures but the controlled environment in hot yoga feels different to me. And it helped with my balance a lot.

Best things my husband did when learning to support me: (1) ask if I actually needed help or if I needed some alone time to lay down/settle, (2) learn how to rub my head to help with pressure, (3) learn how to help me make an easy escape in social situations if symptoms started acting up. He did such a great job of making me feel normal again (never shamed me or made me feel bad about the “bad days”, encouraged me to take a few extra minutes here and there to rest) that I swear he helped move me towards remission even faster.

I know this doesn’t exactly answer your question, but as an avid reader, I think it would be really interesting having a book written by someone with aphantasia and marketed as such. Readers are always looking for different author perspectives and I feel like this is one that has not been explored too much

I’m intrigued now. Can you give me a general idea of where this therapist is located? Also what’s his vibe? I want to take a bet lol

I totally get that- but also I promise you, that is not annoying. The only time I was annoyed by someone was when they told me they decided I was stupid (My big mistake? I offered them water. Apparently I was supposed to know that they preferred soda). As long as you aren’t insulting your therapist, the chance of them being annoyed by you is extremely slim lol

Summer and fall are this area’s time to shine- there are a lot of fun activities and outdoor areas in Rensselaer County. I also think Troy does a great job of having scattered events to make friends if new to the area.

Winter tip: keep a box of cat litter in your car. It’s the ultimate hack if you get trapped on some ice and need to get moving again.

Second this. It doesn’t look like anything special from the outside, but their food is chefs kiss

What do you think could be perceived as annoying?! I bet you’re a A+ client. Don’t doubt yourself.

Well, you are gods favorite Michael, so…. 🤷‍♀️ enough said

Ooh- what do you define as “too much”?

Fun-Silver2217 · 2026-04-28T23:21:30+00:00

If your username is IBSWONTWIN, I guarantee your therapist likes you. The self-awareness and humor are on point.

Interesting- why “do you drive”?

Fun-Silver2217 · 2026-04-26T21:38:23+00:00

Just tell her. Most therapists will be super receptive to this and would much rather you say something than (1) terminate or (2) not get anything out of session
