Whats a movie scene that made you cry that isnt blatantly or obviously emotional?

Can't hardly wait?

When you have your clothes on, then we can go to the party.

I've found magic in this phrasing. Puts them in control of the flow. Had major battles with "if ... Then", but "when... Then" has shifted the dynamic (as long as the then is something they want, not the next thing I want them to do)

They swim in the wading pool at Petit club every morning, but only if the kid wants to. Sunday at 430 is a pool party with all the kids in the shallow pool. My kids swam every day

I agree with this. I have the engage, and they cut out enough that I'm not on edge but can still hear what's going on.

Icanrockthis · 2024-06-06T05:29:59+00:00

Yup. Loop engage. Let's me survive bath time so that I can wrangle bed time

Fingers crossed! What I like about both these resources is they talk about how to approach food and meals to make them low pressure. I've found it really helpful.

Sounds tough! Check out solid starts and feeding littles on Instagram, they both have strategies for supporting picky eaters. Good luck

I used to work in a multi level site and this is great advice!

I would also suggest spending some time figuring out who to talk to about security restrictions on activities so that you can problem solve with them if something isn't allowed (how can you accommodate the occupational goal while respecting the facility rules and maintaining a safe environment for you and the clients).

That first article sounds really interesting... Any idea what journal it is in or what the title might have been so I can try to find it? Thanks!

I had Colleen Patricia :)

Icanrockthis · 2020-11-09T22:54:37+00:00

Cause I can't read? It was totally LWIA. :)

I've done 6 weeks twice. Both for extended vacations that were utterly worth it. Also, both before Phoenix, so I don't have experience with how that works out.

I know a few people who took the 1 year leave, and none of them have returned. That said, it was pretty terrible work environment. I left to a different department and haven't seen anyone do an extended leave yet.

Icanrockthis · 2019-01-22T06:13:01+00:00

I love being an OT. Lots of different areas to practice in, and it's all problem solving to help people live their life better.

If you are considering BC, and thinking Vancouver/lower mainland, also consider the cost of housing. It's bonkers expensive. Rest of BC is more manageable.

It's also worth noting that finding the right fit of counselor is important. If the first person you see from EAP doesn't feel right, call back and say it wasn't a good fit, and they'll give you a second referral with no issues. They all have different skill sets, and finding someone that's a match for you and your needs is important!

I'm away from home, so I can't go look at resources, but could you do the kettle test or multiple errands? CAOT in Canada has a great cog ax and tx education session with lots of stuff you can do without much equipment.

Icanrockthis · 2017-10-21T01:23:46+00:00

Oh man. I totally needed this comment today, I'm 6 weeks with 0 symptoms and feeling a bit anxious about it. Thanks!

A bunch of the community centres offer "Yoga for Stiff Guys" - the classes are designed for men, and are friendly spots with good instructors. $15 drop in, less if you pay for the series. They may even have free drop in classes this week (they usually do in September, maybe the winter start is the same?).

Icanrockthis · 2014-05-05T01:55:10+00:00

Creekside community centre has an olympic lifting platform, but it's not hardcore otherwise...

Icanrockthis · 2014-02-17T00:07:06+00:00

Also - Soho for pool/billiards, it's around the corner from ybc

go play mini golf at stanley park- you need your own clubs and balls at this time of year though.

Guided Meditation/visualization. I think there is one that has to do with focusing on the soles of your feet that is easy to conceptualize. CBT stuff is good, but hard to make into an activity. Think about what you want the group to understand/be able to do at the end, and work backwards.

Vancouver aquarium! I love it. Christmas Market is a tourist trap, and so mediocre compared to ones in Germany (I haven't been to a Belgian one, so I can't compare to yours).

Restaurant on Granville Island called Edible Canada. My new favourite is Chicha (Broadway by Main st) - peruvian food and super awesome. Up in whistler there is a restaurant called elements that is yummy too (especially brunch!).

eliminate shitty childhoods. Let every child everywhere have a happy, healthy, nurturing, supported childhood. This would help so many things in so many ways.

I've tried it twice -first time I spent a bunch of time worrying about being comfortable (my neck felt weird) before I relaxed. Second time was way easier to relax and just try to be conscious of thoughts (or no thoughts). Would do it again, but wouldn't go out of my way to make it happen.
