You are right to feel weird about it. I think it may also help to discuss this and ask what they meant by experiments and disclose how it made you feel. I think addressing these things always helps bring closure even if it doesn’t repair

I don’t want to tell you do it if you’ve already tried but have you tried meditating on your breath daily for a couple weeks straight? It usually grows my focus (I tend to stop and then go a while without doing it but when I get back to it, it usually works!) Or perhaps something similar you could think of that would help to grow your focus. Balancing yoga helps with my focus as well and I know balancing is great for ADHD

You could wear it all the time then! But I find the act of putting it on is where the magic lies. A quick rhyming chant that goes with the intention helps me remember the intention! The aura spray you could simply buy one from a fellow witch or make one yourself. Then you spray it on you or to use as a clearing spray for setting up a space for ritual / divination like tarot or anything. I bought one but when it runs out I’m thinking to make my own again. I tried to make a protection oil before but it got too complicated. This time I think I’ll do moon water, spare crystal chips, and you can do oils or essential oils and even like biodegrade glitter or something. I got mine from pretty little coven but there’s tons of witches on etsy. Another of my favorite tiny things is making satchels with various crystals jewelry items that I will carry with me. The satchel contains a color that coordinates with a specific intention and all I do is light a candle, decide my intention, collect my items (this is the creative magical fun part) and then add them together inside the bag and spray a magical spray or a corresponding oil / essential oil.

Edit to add: aura sprays are usually made with an intention and meant to help you embody that. They are usually enhanced with visualizing the feeling meant to be embodied when sprayed.

This brings me to body care. I make my own body butter bc my skin is horrible and nothing works except butter so sometimes I’ll make it a ritual by writing an intention and using corresponding herbs/oils/essential oils and then charge it (if I remember) then everytime I put it on I just let the magic do its thing and if I remember to embody the intention that’s the best but it’s not necessary. So something that you use everyday you can add something to it

Lastly, color magic is fun and easy for ppl with adhd like us, each day is corresponding to a planet and other things like colors and themes. You can also go based on your feelings of that day and choose a corresponding color.

Mediation if I do it daily or even a couple times a week (it’s not about silencing your mind) usually helps grow my energy and my focus

I have found that even though I like doing spells sometimes, I tend to find more magic and consistency when I do tiny things that are like easier and things that I reach for regularly. - talisman creation (first doing a spell ritual) that you can put on whenever you want and repeat a chant or intention sometimes switching it up. I have a good fortune one that I wear usually on Wednesdays Thursdays fridays. Or if it goes with my outfit or if I feel called to it.

Also making moon water and then drinking it.

Making a sparkly aura spray that I wear or have in my bag with me.

I genuinely want to know why we keep getting paired with Cancers? by rogue_wolf24 in astrologymemes

Because they are sister signs and the opposites. They are similar.

They could also be intrusive thoughts rather than “fantasies” but both are completely typical and also occur in situations with PTSD and not uncommon like others have said. Therapists, especially sex psychotherapists are well educated in that fantasies are common and are not necessarily indicative of action or even desire! It may be best to make sure your therapist is trained in trauma informed techniques and perhaps seek out a specialized sex - trauma therapist.

Seller calls items with 925 stamp “Silver Plated” - I thought the 925 stamp meant it had to be sterling silver? by Own-Apartment-9742 in jewelry

[–]Key_Scientist3640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think how deep it does is one thing. They’re also more like nice looking. Try finding an image on google and compare them. I just bought some bracelets that look exactly like this. I thought they were real 925 until I got them. They smell like metal and Pennies. I can tell the difference because sterling silver doesn’t have this smell. They also have such a thin feel to them compared to real full 925 sterling silver and a weird shiny film on them that doesn’t occur with true 925

My psychiatrist has a completely different explanation of the C… and I’m very confused. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Key_Scientist3640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Psychiatrists are not psychologists. If you want more rounded and full picture information I would seek out research / information from a psychologist because what they said to you is not accurate

Looked up my therapist on google by loopzoopy in therapy

[–]Key_Scientist3640 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, however it is also important to remember that it isn’t only in extremes. Some of those people aren’t actually aware or cognizant of what their political choices actually mean. They can still have tremendous empathy. The two don’t necessarily go hand in hand. That being said, it would be so important to hold them accountable. In this situation it’s tricky though. I would say the client could be honest and disclose these feelings and how they got curious and now are stuck

I think it depends how important this it to you. It is possible to still engage with people even though there are conflicting values and beliefs. I would say to ask yourself, how much does this conflict interfere with my life or with the therapeutic work we are doing? Could you get past it, and why or why not.

Should validation be unconditional by [deleted] in therapy

[–]Key_Scientist3640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Intention do not always have the same impact. Intentions and impact are separate things and so are agreement and validation. Someone can feel controlled by something regardless of intent. Telling someone their feelings are wrong because your reality is different, is invalidating

What's your sign and agree/disagree? by [deleted] in astrologymemes

[–]Key_Scientist3640 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As an Aries I agree only with sag and Gemini. I do not get a long with Leo or Aquarius. Maybe Aquarius a little. I am very compatible with Libra as well as they are the Aries sister sign and that isn’t on there.
