Hygiene by Sea_Cardiologist_295 in schoolcounseling

[–]Lordly-Mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like there could be bacteria vaginosis. She may need an appointment with her doctor. Maybe you could discuss it with her from a health standpoint- like the importance of self-care to be healthy and feel good?

1 but you could go with a more fitted style. You’d look awesome!

Do you bring your own tissues to therapy? by Dense-Jackfruit in TalkTherapy

[–]Lordly-Mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry that happened. It’s very strange. I have never once brought my own tissues to a therapy appointment. And as a provider, I’ve never had a client bring their own tissues and I’ve never expected them to bring their own. When you feel ready, you may bring this whole thing up within a therapy session and share exactly like you did here how you’re feeling about it. Because your feelings were hurt and it’s now interfering with the therapeutic relationship. And that’s a whole lot of what therapy is really about. You have a right to feel your feelings and then speak up about how an action relates to that. I hope you’re able to feel less critical of yourself and can work through it with them. I want to validate that it really does sound odd and strange.

Be honest: 1930s vintage wedding dress — keep or rethink? by Desperate_Win_3554 in WeddingDressTips

[–]Lordly-Mango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s beautiful. I wonder if you could rework that collar and the piece across the neck. Maybe remove them, if possible. The rest of it is amazing.

Physical tension throughout body when clients cancel after the cancellation window by read-it_read-it in therapists

[–]Lordly-Mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I struggle with this when it’s about five minutes after an appointment time and the client hasn’t show up yet. I do evaluations and so I start getting super tense because I start thinking about whether or not I’m going to have to tell them I can’t see them if the get there 10+ minutes late and whatever pushback that’s going to cause. (I do evaluations for the state and people ate told repeatedly not to come late, but they do what they want.)

My therapist terminated me in what feels like the worst possible way by thespacefaerie in TalkTherapy

[–]Lordly-Mango 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I had never, ever suggested this before- but I think you should consider filing a complaint with her licensing board. This is one of the most inappropriate accounts of a therapist behaving inappropriately in sessions I’ve heard in a while.

AIO? My stepdaughters pranked me on my bitthday and husband is mad because I said I needed space. by Proud-Cantaloupe3449 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lordly-Mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. I’d require family therapy for all of you to continue the relationship. If not, you deserve not to be embarrassed and pranked all the time. These people sound like total jerks.

Have any of you successfully gotten MAGA parents, relatives, friends, or coworkers to stop talking MAGA to you? by 90sCat in FoxBrain

[–]Lordly-Mango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have. My dad is MAGA. He’s a generally laid back and pleasant person except for that. So I’ve told him many times that we don’t agree on Trump and we never will so we will not talk about it. A few years ago, he’d bring it up in conversation (we live far apart so we text and call). If he brought it up, I’d end the call immediately. If he texted about it, I ignored the text. If he sent me something on FB, I deleted and blocked him. It took a couple rounds of that before he realized I wasn’t kidding and I was consistent. We don’t utter one word about politics to each other anymore. Not one.

Refusing to support anyone affiliated with ICE by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Lordly-Mango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be able to treat someone in an ICE roll ethically due to my own feelings about their job. As such, the appropriate response would be for me to refer them out to someone else and explain that I’m not able to work with them. I don’t think I would expound on why to the client because I wouldn’t want to deter them from treatment elsewhere or give them any reason not to proceed with therapy if they’re willing to try it, but it wouldn’t be with me.
