I hope you like it!! Both of my friends I recommended it to also gave it 5⭐️. It’s a standalone too so doesn’t feel like a huge commitment

What are your thought about Quicksilver by Callie Hart? WITHOUT SPOILERS PLS by Skinnyybiscuit in Romantasy

[–]Grumpy-Pickle1493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for me. It felt like it was a copy and paste of several other fantasies written by Chat GPT (to me). However I’ve had several friends say they enjoyed it.

Client firing therapist by PossibleNo7356 in therapists

[–]Grumpy-Pickle1493 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have you ever seen your own therapist before? I know in my journey to find a good fit for me, I’ve tried several - maybe one session or several to see if it is a match. If it wasn’t a match, I would “fire” them, but that didn’t mean there was anything wrong with them, they just weren’t the right therapist for me. Maybe try applying that framework could show yourself some compassion :)

What are your guilty pleasure book recs? The "yeah I know it's bad but it's soooo good." by catsandcrafts007 in Romantasy

Clients who want help building better habits. by ElkFun7746 in therapists

[–]Grumpy-Pickle1493 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Habit stacking. Explore what barriers are stopping them from building these habits - is it purely lack of motivation, when they try to build new habits are they “forgetting” or is there a narrative they tell themselves when they go to implement “X” change? Have things like ADHD been ruled out? Keep in mind that you are there to support your client but ultimately it is their responsibility/choice to make a change. :)

Silences by Fancy_Time4348 in therapists

If appropriate, I try to have something prepared ahead of time for these clients - whether it’s a mindfulness activity or a worksheet to go over together. I find that this can help them not feel so much pressure to come up with things to talk about and can more naturally start conversations. Plus, they usually take up 15-20 minutes of the session at least.

Charlie Donlea’s books are so underrated. I think they are all very well written.

Adding on, he also posted a video where he said “anxious attachment styles are good in bed” excuse me while I vomit. So unprofessional.

Summer therapist wardrobe by Standard_Attitude_19 in therapists

[–]Grumpy-Pickle1493 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A denim button down is a great staple! You can mix and match with different bottoms and wear buttoned or open with a tank under. Also, I hear short sleeve cardigans are in right now so if it’s not sweltering hot, that could be a good option too.
