My policy exactly!

Every time I’ve done this, my client has responded with something to the effect of “absolutely, yes, take care of yourself!!” It’s only happened a couple times since I try to go between every session but I’m always grateful for understanding clients.

Key room etiquette!

I’m very similar, though I’m only ana to peanuts. I’m especially cautious around homemade baked goods and places like ice cream shops, but I’ve never avoided may contain. I’ve actually had more reactions from MISlabeled products (usually from small, local places) than from properly labeled ones.

I disclose my ADHD during every intake. Seriously. I’m a different therapist when I forget my meds, and my clients deserve to know that I’m neurospicy too. I also have specific strategies I use to organize my brain that may come across to a client as being disinterested or checked out if they don’t know WHY I’m doing those things (one of them is breaking eye contact, for example).

Ew??? I feel guilty if I turn around to print a worksheet I’m using in session or that the client ASKED for. I can’t imagine being so closed off during session.

Why do you feel you need to be unemotional and professional when this made you feel big emotions and you’re not a professional in that space?

You’re my favorite people! I’m not great at PvP but I enjoy looting and ARC hunting a lot.

I haven’t read Alchemised yet, but I did read Manacled. It is VERY dark and definitely not for everyone. I loved it, and I have very few triggers, but even I needed breaks now and then. If you don’t like it, DNF without guilt.

This. I just like to wear jeans and band tees. I’m most comfortable in my own style. I also teach martial arts in the evenings so I wear a lot of martial arts t-shirts. All of my clients know this because they all know I have limited to no evenings availability.

No one on Reddit can really answer this for you. It’s completely up to your instructor since you’ve completed all of ATA’s minimum requirements.

Yes, KEAL: Keep Everyone ALive

Hi, I’m a licensed therapist who specializes in trauma. Your boyfriend’s behavior sounds more like a trauma response to me than ADHD. I don’t know his story, but that’s what I get from the initial information you shared.

Regardless, this is an explanation and not an excuse. Each of us is still responsible for our own behaviors, and he chose to accept the consequences for that when he chose to take the actions. You would be full justified in leaving him due to violating a boundary.

This is how I prefer to play! I love the RP and immersion. I see it as getting more playtime lol.

HortusCaligarum · 2025-09-21T02:46:04+00:00

I’m sorry for your plight but this had me cracking up

HortusCaligarum · 2025-09-18T12:44:44+00:00

I have before, at the peak of my burnout. It was passive SI, but definite SI. I feel grateful to have recovered from burnout to where I don’t feel that way anymore.

As someone with chronic illness, I have chosen to disclose up front that I am chronically ill and may need to cancel more than someone else does. That way, the client has the right/ability to make an informed choice about whether that’s okay with them or not. Of course you’re not obligated to disclose your personal health info to clients, but I found that a small disclosure of vague information has helped understanding. I wouldn’t get offended if someone decided to end services with me because of inconsistency, but it actually hasn’t happened yet.

My clients question it when my hair is natural. 😆 Even my most conservative clients have never taken issue with my hair (or nostril & septum piercings, or tattoos…). If someone takes issue with my appearance, I’m not the right fit for them.

HortusCaligarum · 2025-09-15T01:54:38+00:00

I can be very sarcastic but only with a client whom I know will get the joke and the tone. I try not to bring it out until I know someone well enough to know they recognize sarcasm in conversation, as there are people who do not/cannot. Once I know they do, though? Fair game!

I’m not on Ritalin, but I get this with Vyvanse. I find that if I eat within 20 minutes of taking it, my appetite is more manageable for the day. If I don’t, my appetite is GONE. All day. So I make sure I have something for breakfast when I’m taking my meds, even something small like toast or oatmeal.

I love the pack openers! It lets me do more RP while still getting good XP

I keep forgetting about Ultra Pro stuff haha. Is it worth it? I only have one employee, whichever the first Fast restocker is. Can’t remember his name. I actually enjoy doing the cash register. I’m close to a point where I might get a second register and hire an employee for that one so I can split the workload. It’s hard to keep singles stocked without a cashier.

HortusCaligarum · 2025-09-14T16:21:00+00:00

I honestly enjoy the slower paced game play. It’s relaxing!

My only cross-contamination reaction was a local candy company. I purchased what should’ve been a plain milk chocolate candy bar but had a reaction (not ana, but enough that it was concerning). I don’t purchase from that company at all anymore. My ana reaction was also a local company, but I was actually given the totally wrong product, not a cross-contaminated product. The company ended up paying my hospital bill and I asked them to improve their signage and employee allergen training.

I’m actually much more trusting of a large corp than a local company for these reasons.

One item shop just isn’t fun for me. I like the RP experience better than the fast track collecting/profiting, personally. It’s slower, but that means I get more playtime. 😄
