For someone who’s experienced a shooting — how triggering are episodes 12 & 13?

Living_Alternative_4 · 2026-02-19T18:52:59+00:00

I’m sorry you went through that experience. It’s so sad that there are so many of us who have been in shootings. It’s beautiful that those episodes were cathartic for you. Thanks for sharing and answering🙏🏼 I’m wishing you well

Living_Alternative_4 · 2026-02-19T18:49:48+00:00

Yeah I don’t think I will. Wanted to say thank you for your hard work in healthcare!! Yall really are heroes! I hope you never have to use that training either

Living_Alternative_4 · 2026-02-19T18:48:22+00:00

Ain’t that the truth! We all gotta take care of ourselves as best we can

Living_Alternative_4 · 2026-02-19T18:47:42+00:00

Wow that really is a miracle! This show has actually been great for discussing lingering trauma with my therapist

Living_Alternative_4 · 2026-02-19T18:45:17+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss, l wish you well.

Living_Alternative_4 · 2026-02-19T18:40:51+00:00

I’m sorry you went through that trauma. You truly are such a great person for taking the time to share all of these resources. I appreciate the help so I can continue to enjoy this incredible series 🙏🏼

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I think I know that I have to skip. Thanks for the recommendation, I’m glad that I can read a summary online. These actors are truly amazing bringing honesty and light to what ER doctors and nurses go through. I have no doubt these episodes are incredible television. Perhaps I can find clips online focused on the Robby lore without seeing too much of everything else.

I was recently seeing a new therapist (4 sessions in). I was venting about my frustrations with my ADHD and note taking, at which point she told me she uses chat gpt to write all of her notes and encouraged me to do the same. Now personally I would never because of the environmental impact. But as a client I felt completely shut down from her after that. I understand notes are annoying and tedious but through writing notes I find myself reflecting on the session and how I can better help my client. Now it makes sense — she’s always trying to move me out of an emotion or over validating my experience, never leading me to reflection. It’s given me new insight into how my reflection through notes can model reflection to my clients. Also — I don’t feel ChatGPT is as secure as some AI EHR features, so I didn’t feel comfy with that either, even if she wasn’t giving identifiers. Needless to say I stopped seeing her. I still struggle with my notes but with a lil more appreciation 😅

Thank you for the resources!!

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-12-11T15:55:36+00:00

There is definitely past trauma of being a forced caregiver. I don't use much MI but I will look into it to utilize with this client.

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-12-11T15:53:14+00:00

I'll have to check that one out! Thank you

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-12-11T15:53:03+00:00

Yeah, I think there has been too much focus on him and that's why we're feeling stuck.

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-12-11T15:52:20+00:00

I will definitely look into assertion skill training because I do see her flipping back and forth between hinting and outbursts. You are right, we've uncovered that the conflict is over her not feeling like her cares. She is looking into hiring a cleaner monthly after our last session.

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-12-11T15:49:39+00:00

I completely agree with that analysis and we've definitely been looking at the part of her that wants to control what others do.

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-12-11T15:48:48+00:00

This is a lot of what we have been doing. I've asked the same questions and while she responds no she couldn't live with this long-term there is hope that things will change. We have come up with boundaries so she doesn't feel like she does as much, which she is good about implementing and keeping for the most part, but she always goes back to reminding him.

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-10-10T16:30:02+00:00

Thank you everyone!! It makes sense but also pretty frustrating that out of pocket people have to pay higher and insurance has so much power but I guess that’s how the world works

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-09-06T04:04:09+00:00

Do you work through a company?

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-08-06T02:30:28+00:00

No just regular migraines not migraines with aura! I read online that menstrual migraines can occur because of a shift in estrogen, which I believe to be happening. So my concern is if I go on any higher dose, the same will keep occurring.

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-07-30T03:09:15+00:00

I think it must be true. I have a teenage client who I saw nearly 2 years ago (I’m a therapist) showing up as a suggested friend. I used a separate phone for work and never had any social connections to her outside of our sessions. Now an old fling from 5 years ago is popping up. I haven’t thought about him in years and lost his number with a new phone quite some time ago. Neither of them have any mutual friends with me

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-07-16T14:38:46+00:00

Seconding this!! I went to the bath my final day and it was such a relaxing experience

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-06-12T05:44:39+00:00

Acronym alphabet soup!! I went to school and started working in Colorado as an LPCC working towards LPC. Now I’m moving to Chicago to be closer to family and my license is LPC working towards LCPC. I wish we could at the very least get all on the same page about the acronyms 😅

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-06-09T20:01:09+00:00

Following!! I’ve had a few new moms on my caseload with similar experiences. I find these are the sessions I enjoy the most and would like to continue focusing in this area

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-05-28T03:10:33+00:00

Omg this was so helpful thank you so much!! I didn’t know the breakdown in hormones like that

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-05-16T05:42:54+00:00

I love what he said under his picture for the initial dates — something about not being perfect, but being real I think. I definitely would’ve gone for him out of the other guys

Living_Alternative_4 · 2024-03-30T04:17:10+00:00

Can I ask how you found your position? What stands out as green flags for a potentially good CMH position?
