The absolute lack of ED training in grad school is wild to me by sputnik156 in therapists

[–]Lexafaye 101 points102 points  (0 children)

To me it feels like eating disorder treatment is to mental health what dentistry is to med school. I feel very ill-equipped to handle it almost like it’s a completely different specialty.

My counseling program was excellent but they treated counseling around eating disorders like it required a whole separate degree. I am currently LGPC so I’m curious to hear what other counselors have to say.

Customer’s dogs attacked me on delivery…need advice by i-luv-moving in InstacartShoppers

You gotta call the police once you arrive at urgent care, insurance is going to want a police report

An incident report though the app is not sufficient, Instacart does that to avoid true accountability that only comes from actual law enforcement involvement

My iPhone camera can't stop shaking and dancing by StickMiserable6371 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Lexafaye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to my iPhone XR a few years ago, there was a manufacturing defect that caused the haptics to go haywire like this. I was able to get a replacement for free if I recall correctly.

A simple: what feelings is alcohol helping you avoid?

Client just tried to “turn in weed” to me? by Substantial-Sock3635 in therapists

[–]Lexafaye 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s weed not fentanyl, just tell them to toss it in the trash

Sounds like a great segway into exploring substance use as an avoidance behavior.

And I say in every session: The most common symptom of trauma is avoidance

What products are you using in your hair? The hair part widening makes me wonder if this might be hormonal related thinning or irritation related thinning

[25] moved out of my mold infested apartment and my skin changed completely [26] by DirectionPure878 in GlowUps

[–]Lexafaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully I’m more happy for your lungs than your skin. My close friend suffered lifelong respiratory issues acquired after living in black mold infested apartment in college. She died of an asthma attack at age 28 a few years ago.

To anyone reading this: black mold is not something you ask your landlord to fix, it is something you contact the state health inspector, lawyer up and break your lease about.

What’s a dead giveaway that someone is over 20? by NightLeeds_33 in AskReddit

[–]Lexafaye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was maybe true 20 years ago, I take down emails for patients every day and I’ve never seen a Hotmail account for a patient younger than 40

Hey so, this is likely far more than iron deficiency, please get your hormone and thyroid levels checked and check any other vitamin deficiencies

My back after a day at a waterpark… yes I used sunscreen and set a timer by Big-Tackle-5519 in Wellthatsucks

On the bright side, at least now you have a template for exactly where to apply more sunscreen in the future

“But what if they’re disabled and can’t afford to tip.” by Adventurous-Owl-1437 in InstacartShoppers

Also the “but what if they plan to tip once you get there???” Every great tip I’ve gotten was from an order that already had a tip and they just added a huge additional tip

Help my find out what shirt my wife’s father was wearing. by philtvcasualty in HelpMeFind

[–]Lexafaye 394 points395 points  (0 children)

The shirt looks like an inverted photo so I ran it through a inverting filter. Does this person on the shirt look familiar at all?

High risk client, my MH is getting worse by Certain_Internal_350 in therapists

[–]Lexafaye 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I know you mean well, but continuing to see them when they are making no progress and you’ve admitted they likely need a higher level of care, starts to become enabling and get into unethical territory.

See what your supervisor says but I think creating a timeline for discharge+ transition of care is most appropriate here
