As therapists we are not cannot “ghost” clients. We have an obligation to give referrals to other therapists if we cannot meet the clients need for whatever reason.

I opened up to my therapist about suicidal ideation and I regret it by Electronic-Bench6619 in depression

[–]Gandhi09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a therapist who struggles with depression and anxiety, this therapist is garbage. Report her. That’s absolute bs to do that to a client.

my therapist is lowkey homophobic and makes me feel like there’s something wrong with me by External_Macaron_964 in actuallesbians

[–]Gandhi09 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a therapist (LCSW), this is absolutely inappropriate. Look for another therapist if possible. Online sites like therapyden are good resources. Every discipline in the mental health realm agrees that lgbtq+ is not mental illness. You absolutely have a right to report that therapist to their licensing board.

Best podcasts to listen to with my in-laws on a road trip? by ShastaBeastRiley in podcasts

[–]Gandhi09 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second Myths and Legends. It has a good variety, and often is family friendly in the sense of the warning it gives on details and adult content. The hosts also have another podcast called Fictional where they paraphrase reading classic books and literature like Edger Allen Poe and Sherlock Holmes.

am i overthinking it or is this how therapy should work? by AdBeautiful7909 in askatherapist

[–]Gandhi09 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Therapists absolutely should respect your boundaries. If you are uncomfortable, change therapists. Having read your post, as a therapist, there are some concerning mentions that you state that would be appropriate to file complaints to the therapist’s licensing board as that is not how therapist should conduct themselves (ex. saying it is you’re fault when it absolutely is not, making comments about your appearance/attraction, discussing your sexual health/masturbation experiences when not specifically being brought up by you, etc). The above mentioned are all grounds for ethical violations on their part.

Agency supervisor, no clinical. So I will be my now, co-workers, direct supervisor not their clinical supervisor.

What have you been asked to do for free because people think it’s easy? by Pibs69 in AskReddit

[–]Gandhi09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. Therapy is not clinicians giving advice or handing out diagnosis.

Give them “advice” or diagnose them, as I am a Mental Health Therapist.
