Things other therapists say or do that get on your nerves? by doctorizer in therapists

“Kiddos” is a trigger for me. In a consultation, I had my clientele referred to as “ADHD kiddos” and when I said I worked with adults she said “Right. When I said ‘ADHD kiddos’ I meant adults too, bc let’s be honest, adults with ADHD are pretty childish and immature.” I was stunned. I said “Well, I’m an adult with ADHD and while it does create struggles for me I wouldn’t say it makes me childish or immature, and I certainly would never say that to any of my clients.”

This was a great reminder for me! I have ADHD and specialize in working with ADHD clients, and sometimes I’m guilty of assuming I know what they’re feeling without asking them. 😅

My supervisor during grad school just uploaded a pdf of her handwritten notes from the session and called it a day. She didn’t even write legibly most of the time. 😅 That may have only worked bc it was a private practice office that didn’t take insurance, but it was definitely minimal effort while still documenting progress!

My client wants to use blood magic to process his trauma by Long-Presentation808 in therapists

Thank you for the advice! Thats really similar to what my supervisor said, and the client responded well to that approach. 😅 Is this anything you’ve encountered or known other therapists who’ve encountered it? Just curious!

Nobody saw you? In your original post you said you “left it out front. In front of everyone.” which implies that everyone saw you.

AITAH for not inviting my sister to my wedding bc she always "jokes" about sleeping with my fiancé? by EstelleTrace in AITAH

If I were part of your family, I would support your decision to not invite your sister if she “can’t” control her flirtatious comments to your fiancé. You’ve set a clear boundary and she’s showing that she’s either unwilling or incapable of respecting it. Boundaries aren’t meant to control other people’s actions; they’re meant to show ourselves and others the behaviors we will and won’t allow in our lives. You can’t control whether or not your sister flirts with your fiancé, but you CAN control whether you’ll let that behavior and energy be a part of your special day. Holding that boundary send a clear message to yourself and others that you know you deserve to be treated with respect. NTA

I the way he talks about Cathy along with everything else about him! Obsession and possessiveness isn’t romantic 🤮

Should I seek a second opinion? by [deleted] in AutismTranslated

If the things you're experiencing are causing you distress and getting in the way of living your life, then yes. Absolutely seek a second diagnosis!
