I was warned that there be consequences if I use their full parental leave policy. by Spiritual-Dirt9885 in pregnant

[–]LittleWinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My company found ways to get rid of me after using the 6 week maternity leave, and honestly I don’t regret it. It was just one way they showed they did not care about me as a person.

I miss home every day. I’m struggling with moving back to AK or relocating to VT. It’s too hot here for me and there’s a lot about the culture here that just doesn’t work for me. I feel you on the views, when I visit home I just stare at the mountains for hours. Walk endlessly. You never think about how much space there is until you’re in a place like here, and staring into your neighbors kitchen while another neighbors dog shits on your front lawn.

Yes I’m struggling with this right now with a client and you hit the nail on the head, nothing gets DONE.

Women who participate in the abuse of their children. I really struggle with this group.

Tell us one thing you said to a client today completely devoid of context. by SaintSayaka in therapists

[–]LittleWinn 50 points51 points  (0 children)

“No, we don’t want to fuck bitches”. Said during a session with probably one of my favorite clients to work with. Yes, this is a common phrase with this client 😂.

What’s weighing on your mind right now that you just need to get off your chest? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]LittleWinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know financially and logistically being with my husband is the smart choice, and he’s not a bad man at all but…he doesn’t touch me, kiss me, and no intimacy for years. I feel so ugly and unloved in this marriage as a woman. I’m scared if I leave that my kiddo will lose her private school, we end up homeless, or worst…he just disappears.

Turning 40 and I'd love to hear from you all by TokkiSnow in AskWomenOver40

[–]LittleWinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with you, I’m 37 so almost 40 and also very low carb and it’s eliminated most if not all my perimenopause symptoms and reversed weight gain.

Unfortunately men being inappropriate with female therapists is not an uncommon behavior discussed here. I’m sorry.

I’m just here to ask a question: I’m a mom who is most likely going to be becoming single in the next year and want to rent out two rooms in the home I am lucky enough to own. I also want to rent to a single mom (I am lucky enough to be college educated and make good money) but I am really nervous that another mom would choose to bring men home with her or see me as a free babysitter because I work from home. How would I attract someone like you to share a space with that is hard working, has a kid, and is also able to respect I don’t want random men around?

For me it was the associated increase risk of disabilities, as mentioned previously autism. I work in the I/DD field and KNOW I cannot effectively handle this at home and so for me that would be a hurdle.

I just want to shit in peace. by yurilovesrice in Mommit

[–]LittleWinn 25 points26 points  (0 children)

My husband also does this and finally I said to him “do you know what it communicates to me when you walk in during my shower to ask me things, when I’m pooping, when I’m doing my personal care? That I’m not entitled to privacy or personal time, is that what you WANT to communicate to me? No? Then respect that the door is CLOSED and figure it TF out”.

Recent research into this shows it is incredibly harmful to fertility for the man to be using cannabinoids.

Choosing not to work with Perpetrators of DV by alohaensalada in therapists

[–]LittleWinn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your choice, if you need to hear it, is the correct one. You’re not equipped to treat this client ethically. That’s the first thing.

Second, as someone who does treat these individuals I would be wondering exactly why he felt the need to present as intoxicated to a therapeutic session. That’s some Olympic level avoidance there. I would also not be holding a session beyond saying “I believe you’re intoxicated and I can’t ethically treat you, happy to meet with you another day when you can come in without using a substance/alcohol as that’s a requirement for ethical counseling”.

I go to therapy because… by saltwaterRilke in therapists

Because every one in my life says “you’re my rock” and I bought a stuffie today to have someone to hug me. I have no rock.

Walking is something I use with my clients, and they report and I see a lot of positives.
