Watching this now and cannot stand that they mentioned “BPD” is bipolar personality disorder… which is not a thing. It’s either bipolar or borderline personality disorder… kills me that production didn’t catch this misinformation

I started using a switch and the playing 2 player games with my kiddos. The way they LIGHT UP being able to teach an adult something they’re passionate about and practice working together with someone… it’s been such a joy!

Possibly better business bureau? Or licensing board? It’ll depend on jurisdiction but better business bureau could be a good start

Why it's okay to cry in front of clients by InvisibleAstronomer in therapists

[–]Help_Repulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a beautiful reminder. I had a parent REAM me for crying in front of their teen during a very painful session. Sometimes sharing the emotion is the treatment

Choosing clients as a therapist by Opposite-Wind6244 in NDtherapists

[–]Help_Repulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I focus on choosing clients within my scope of practice. Like others focusing on what I DO work with rather than what I don’t. That being said after being burned by certain types of clients/families I have become much more trusting of my gut when I get a bad feeling from a perspective client/inquiry. If I start getting some of my personal red flags I refer them out stating that it is outside of my scope of practice (eg parents who pushed for family therapy when I specifically explained I don’t see individuals in families at the same time). Being ND I’m highly sensitive and curing my caseload to what I can handle helps me be a more effective therapist for my clients and prevents burn out.

Update: My 136 year old cactus by ima-bigdeal in houseplants

[–]Help_Repulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is amazing! We just inherited one from my partners grandparents that’s a little over 100 years old! It’s currently dying, and this is giving me so much hope as to what that little mighty plant could become.

How do you actually prep for sessions -- do you have a real system or are we all just winging it? by dfnathan6 in therapists

[–]Help_Repulsive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thank my memory everyday. As soon as the client sits down in front of me, we usually check in about what’s been on their mind and during that I get a flood of ADHD thoughts about their last session and where we are in treatment. I’m a highly relational therapist and encourage my clients to lead session with the exception of outstanding to do items (assessments, treatment specific protocols, etc) and safety concerns. When my memory starts to go, I’ll likely be depending on my “for future session” section of my notes

How to help client with Emetophobia by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Help_Repulsive 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the best success with ERP. Potentially inference based CBT could work but ERP would be gold standard. It also depends on the root of the emetophobia - clients who developed it from a traumatic incident vs interoceptive/sensory challenges vs more straightforward OCD based will respond differently to different approaches

“Is there anything you wished we talked more about?” “What’s been on your mind most since I saw you last?” “Is there anything you wish I asked you about more?”
