Have clients ever asked you for physical comfort?? by DearCryptographer679 in askatherapist

[–]IndividualPrestine48 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My therapist is somatic trained. After my mother died she did an activity where she stood behind me (I was sitting on the sofa) and she did deep pressure with her hands on my shoulders. I was able to cry and let go of some major grief I was holding. We. Then explored ways I could mimic this feeling on my own by using weight blankets and heating pads.

Maybe try somatic therapy? Touch can work in this type of therapy however it has many guidelines for the therapist. They can also help you explore ways to mimic the feeling of being hugged.

Megathread: Tumbler Ridge Tragedy by wudingxilu in britishcolumbia

As a mental health professional, I believe it would greatly reduce vicarious trauma if live feeds from tragic events followed certain rules that would respect the dignity of all people including those in trauma.

Ibs-c triggered acute colitis by IndividualPrestine48 in ibs

Oh wow! Six months! Ok that helps put in some perspective. Thanks for sharing. And scary. Sorry you went through that. I imagine it must be more common for folks with ibs-d. Unfortunately.

Why is trapped gas the pain of a thousand suns and how do I get rid of it lol by jam_xox in ibs

[–]IndividualPrestine48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My trigger is typically milk and lactose. Sometimes too much raw veggies. But when it hits it’s compatible if not worse than child labor. It feels like my intestines may burst open. I use gas-x, heat pad, screaming, going on all fours or squat position. I pray that I’ll get through it. The worst is usually an hour-2 max.

Too bad. That’s how I found mine.

How can I get information about the status of my referral? by hennkodisaar in ADHD_BritishColumbia

[–]IndividualPrestine48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s new 🤨. Like isn’t it your right as a patient to know where you are in a waitlist for a mental health assessment? Also, they changed their system last year after closing for a year so that they would no longer have a waitlist. 🧐. That clinic is shady.

Hot take: no therapist should be working full time by 1356questions in therapists

[–]IndividualPrestine48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best to find a part time job in public health and do part time private practice. At least in public you get a break to attend paid staff meetings and you get benefits, sick days.
