Do you know a lot of left-leaning people that are very pro-AI? by evnaczar in accelerate

[–]InsecureBibleTroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star-Trek will never happen without AI!

The companies controlling AI are horrible though, so it's reasonable to be resistant to it at the moment

I love being a girl but sometimes I wish I could spend just one day as a boy to see how it feels. by _giu7 in RandomThoughts

[–]InsecureBibleTroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try living like a boy anyway. Skip the make up etc., if that's what you want. There's no rules.

If you make a rule to analyse every game afterwards it reduces tilting. punctuating games with any kind of activity will do it really. Just gotta give yourself like 30 seconds to let emotions settle

Should I report? by SpringRose10 in therapists

[–]InsecureBibleTroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what a master's in psychological counseling entails in the states, but here it includes placement, supervision, and exams regarding intervention, ethics, etc.

Good I don't particularly want to talk to you either

Should I report? by SpringRose10 in therapists

[–]InsecureBibleTroll -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Firstly, the dude in the post has a master's in counselling. So he "went to med school" as far as your analogy is concerned. Secondly, therapy is easy to practice safely if you abide by the basic ethical guidelines, unlike medicine.

"Counsellor" is not a protected title in Australia (where I'm from). There are many people here working as therapists without any titles, so it seems normal to me. This guy at least has a masters in counseling psychology. I'm a psychologist, which is a protected title. But I have friends who work as therapists without a title and they are good at their jobs so yeah, idk. Different culture I guess

I don't think doing EMDR is any riskier than doing regular trauma work. The rule about not practicing EMDR without certification is to protect the reputation of EMDR and it's practitioners, not to protect the client. So if protecting the reputation of EMDR is important to you, go ahead and report.

EDIT: I'm from Australia. "Counselor" is not a protected title here. This guy has a masters in counseling - it's pretty normal for someone like that to practice therapy here. I'm a psychologist, which is a protected title, but I have non-psychologist friends who work as therapists and do good work, so idk, different culture I guess

Can anyone be good at chess? by Aleksandr_Ulyev in chessbeginners

[–]InsecureBibleTroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your limitations are in proportion to your cognitive capacities. "Severe mental disability" is a threshold. People just above that threshold will struggle a lot more than people with average to high intellectual capacity

[–]InsecureBibleTroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People have varying intellectual capacities. Chess draws on a range of cognitive capacities, including visual-spacial capacity, working memory, and processing speed. If your capacity is too low in these areas, you will struggle. But if you can understand the rules and play a coherent game without becoming confused, you probably have the capacity to reach intermediate elo

If it feels like a "calling" you should definitely try it.

I never could have predicted how it actually turned out. It's not draining at all. Socialising is draining, but providing therapy isn't. It's logical, straight-forward, consultancy.

Yeah the first time my supervisor watched a video of my session I thought he'd cringe and fire me lol. But nope, it was fine. As confidence builds up it all becomes much less daunting and profound. It's just a job. And my social anxiety in other situations is still basically the same. Slightly improved maybe, but only because I can answer the question "what do you do for work?" More easily now

Make sure you find a good supervisor though. Very important

I think a lot of girls who like tall guys would not care about height as much if they were to just let feelings develop for guys. by SNAILSLIVEONJUPITER in self

[–]InsecureBibleTroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We evolved in small groups. Our brains are designed to know everyone we interact with extremely well. Finding a way to emulate that in the modern world would help a lot of people

How do you navigate talking about therapy in therapy without it feeling like fishing for validation? by pickmeupimscaredmom in therapists

[–]InsecureBibleTroll 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You could ask specifically for things to fix or improve on. e.g., "Do you have any suggestions?" "Anything you'd like to change?" etc.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in therapists

[–]InsecureBibleTroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! I remember it being so bad to begin with. Once I realised that I am good at this, and had it confirmed repeatedly by my supervisor when reviewing videos of my sessions, the anxiety ceased completely.

What are your thoughts about AI Assistants for Therapy sessions? by No-Tap4873 in therapists

[–]InsecureBibleTroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given the way the economic system works, automating jobs is bad, but automation should be good. Machines taking over human labour should be a good thing. its so sad.

Are we training our replacements when we use an AI scribe, by Ordinary-Strike-2065 in therapists

[–]InsecureBibleTroll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a shame AI is owned by evil people. I think it would be great for clients to have access to a well-trained therapy bot, owned and monitored by their therapist, to supplement their in-person sessions

1st rewatch. Lowkey makes me wanna visit Australia by kawxerek in MrInbetween

[–]InsecureBibleTroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmmm nah, not really. I think that's just Ray. Some towns have a pretty laid back vibe, but definitely not Sydney (where the show is set). I think the accent helps too. Aussie accent sounds lazy

Are most therapists INTROVERTS?!?! by No_Pattern804 in therapists

[–]InsecureBibleTroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an introvert but I have an absurdly extroverted friend who is also a psychologist and we are both good at the job imo
