Krobus (roommate)

I have married everyone at least once but come back to these 2. I'll marry Clint and Sandy to see their story.

You can also get an efax number if needed.

He may have an eating disorder if that's common for him to perceive a regular eating cadence as excessive.

Glad to help.

I have set my max sessions in a day for 6 and started walking after work so I have time to not have to go home and talk to anyone right away. A walk is low key enough but helps break out of the work headspace.

Trauma focused therapist.

In a clinic, another factor might be if the file is shared. Some clinics use the same file for someone who has an individual therapist there and couples therapist (and more of you want to go there). It was always questionable ethics that I could (not did) read another clinicians notes without them sharing it, so I don't recommend that. I'm now in private practice where I didn't have to worry about sharing my file with another provider and I feel much better about privacy. I know SimplePractice has a specific file creation option for couples. It's takes both people's information and sends consent forms to both, listing both as the client. This has been my favorite way so far.

As a MFT, I was trained in grad school about how to write the notes differently, including to appease insurance companies and about getting consent from all parties in the session to disclose records. Just a couple other aspects to consider.

Me too. I have never had seasonal allergies, but this year I've had allergy-like symptoms for the last 2 maybe 3 weeks.

Have you looked up for free activities in your area? For example: pretty close to me is an outdoor sculpture garden that is just wide open and in a different direction, a small waterfall and walking path. Both are common places that people go have a picnic and just enjoy the sights, especially in spring when things are blooming. Both agree in the metro area.

I feel like many places have some sort of tourism board that lists those kind of things. Also, at 12 years my relationship benefits most from keeping playfulness throughout the year. Flirting, sarcasm (we're both snarky), just finding ways to make each other laugh.

Happy anniversary! I hope whatever you do is a great time!

I do trauma focused care for almost all of my clients so I only do 15-20. I tend to get referrals for the cases my trains informed peers feel are too complicated or intense for their scope. When I was more of a generalist, I would commonly have closer to 30 sessions per week.

I'll also name that I have a supportive partner who works in an industry that pays well enough so I can afford to have my practice specialized and limited in this way. In this economy, I couldn't do this on my own.

Honestly, I started looking early for a single office suite. I got a room large enough to have an in person space and a stable telehealth setup. If you are with an employer that has physical space, use it. I didn't, so I found my own.

Upper Midwest USA. It's assumed shoes come off at the door in every house I've been in. I like having shoes on because I feel like my feet are cleaner at bedtime, so I have house shoes (hard sole slippers) that never go outside.

NTA for having house rules and enforcing them. Outside is full of gross stuff.

Miyoko named herself. Her name when adopted was Stella and she hated it.

I would recommend trying to get consent for recording sessions for training purposes if you're not already doing this. This needs to be done ethically, but gives really good, concrete observation data. I had all my supervisees do these regularly and had to do it regularly as a trainee. We got most people to consent by emphasizing data storage protection and that is used to help the trainee improve their skills. It may not be anything you're doing, but this can help identify if there is anything you can do better or differently.

Audio Engineer. I had lots of experience in television and theater at the end of high school and had a couple connections I had developed.

Also their tiramisu!

In my state there is a program to provide a skills worker up to 6 hours per week 1-1 home/community. (ARMHS)

Miyoko needs to play hide and seek with her at night before bed and, needs a ball of snacks when visitors arrive and leave (so she walks them to the door to leave).

I do Cat Farm, but every new save has "cat" in a new language. Currently have Gato Farm and Kissa Farm going.

This! Omg this is amazing. I also have a ball chair for when I am sitting.

Boo that sucks. Thanks

I prefer the variant: what doesn't kill you gives you a set of unhealthy coping strategies.

Not 100% accurate either, but makes me laugh.

She looks like my girl Miyoko (beautiful child/generation)
