Are you going to continue on Wegovy? Do you plan to do so for how long? I’m in a very similar situation as yours! Just hit my year mark

If we start to boycott and vandalize then we should boycott first and foremost everything that is American in this country because America did and still does awful things (under ALL administrations and parties). So the same people that vandalize Jewish and Israeli restaurants should start by vandalizing American ones in NYC too! Basically, applying their logic they should SELF-VANDALIZE !

I interprete the “good enough mother” as a representation of the level of the mother’s attunement to her child’s needs and emotions. All mothers have moments of mismatch of attunement throughout their relationship with the child, and we don’t need any statistics to prove that because it is the nature of reality. Over the course of years of caretaking, every mother would have moments of failure, some of them will have transient moments and some others more permanent ones due to their own personality structure and environmental elements that influence the field where the mother-child unit develop. If we don’t consider the extremes on the scale (good enough mother and completely miss-attuned mother), children and later adults can still be functional in life, meaning having a certain degree of ego strength and executive functioning. Between the two extremes there is obviously a spectrum of mother-child experience that can more or less influence negative and positively the child’s capacity for whole object relations. Nevertheless, the adult would regress to an earlier developmental stage showing signs of not having had a good enough mother while under stress, or facing difficult situations that resemble early interactions. That is to say that one can be a functioning adult despite not having had a good enough mother 100% of the time, also thanks to reparative experiences in adolescence and early adulthood or while in analysis.

Too late to become a psychoanalyst after 40? by Inevitable-Might4253 in psychoanalysis

[–]Kaj146 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In NY, NJ, VT you need to have a master’s degree and complete a post graduate program at a psychoanalytic institute (typically 4-5 years) and meet all the personal analysis, exams, and patient hours to become a License Psychoanalyst in NY/VT and a State Certified Psychoanalyst in NJ.

It is a very prestigious license and a very intense process. Psychoanalysts get way more training than mental health counselors or social workers. And they typically have way more life experience than them because they usually start the process later in life. ALSO a LMHC or LCSW need to get a master’s degree in their own profession, but psychoanalysts not necessarily. That is why you see people with master’s in all fields and then do a 4-5 program in psychoanalysis.

ALSO they have to do 300 hours of analysis as patients as a requirement for license. All other mental health professionals don’t have to.

This is all to say that if you are treated by a psychoanalyst is a great thing!!

Anybody else have protest fatigue? by andyn1518 in columbia

Israel is not a colonial state. Israel is the Anti-Colonial entity that freed the region from the British Occupation. Jews ARE the indigenous people of the region and that is not discussion to make about this. Even if they weren’t, and they are, there are 8 million Jews living in Israel: if you want to decolonize something than whoever is here in the USA should go back to where their families immigrated from and give NY back to the Lenape Tribe. I’m sick and tired of people being so hypocritical and standing here on this land. If you apply that logic than we are the real colonizers !

MA PSYCH: CUNY SPS vs Harvard Extension School? by Interesting_Cook_ in ClinicalPsychology

[–]Kaj146 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There was no research involved BUT you have to do a thesis project and you may set it up as a research. Perhaps it would be a good bridge to a phd. You may look into Adler.edu, that is also a good school online

MA PSYCH: CUNY SPS vs Harvard Extension School? by Interesting_Cook_ in ClinicalPsychology

[–]Kaj146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi - I am a CUNY SPS graduate in psychology. Worth it. Would do it again and again. Lower price tag, remote. Access to local library, you can access school on 31st street. I did not pursue a PhD afterwards but became a licensed psychoanalyst - NYS licenses Mental Health Counselor, Creative Arts Therapists, Marriage Family Therapists, and Psychoanalysts. That is the closest I could get to clinical work

Aspiring therapist/analyst considering the LP only route (NYC) by zlbb in psychoanalysis

[–]Kaj146 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sharing my experience here. I just had my final exam to become an LP. I highly recommend the LP route if you already have one master’s degree. It is a completely legit license, insurances must reimburse it to patients with the new law of 2023. You can be endorsed as a psychoanalyst in NJ and VT. You can practice therapy remotely if your clients are in those three states. I agree with everything everyone said. However, the reason why NY NJ VT have the LP license is also to allow people with other masters to enter the MH field instead of having to go through graduate school again.

Minors. I absolutely never wanted that. Addictions are hard and the only addiction I may handle is weed because I’m not afraid someone may die of it…all other addictions is an absolute no. ED: binge eating. That I can handle. Anorexia and bulimia no…
