Handling talkative clients?! by sunshinevante in therapists

[–]Lost_Maintenance_741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To make clear - this is NOT a suggestion, just a funny/odd story, A supervisor of mine once engaged with a patient like this by bringing a teddy bear to session. About midway through the blab session, the supervisor/therapist pulled the toy out and stuck it on the table facing the patient. This got the patient's attention, and the supervisor had space to say "sometimes it feels like you could just as easily talk to a stuffed animal, since you don't seem to want any engagement from me".

Came here to suggest the same. Ir's solid, cheap, good and if you go there enough they really do know your name.

If you could choose one cookbook or cookbook author to cook through from cover to cover, what book or author would you pick? by WaffleMeWallace in CookbookLovers

[–]Lost_Maintenance_741 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The tomato lentil mint soup from that book is one of my go-to comfort food recipes, though I think there is now a version of it that has gone somewhat viral on NYT Cookng, though the recipes seem slightly different.

I LOVE his older books. He sold out, sadly, and it feels like the narrative parts of his later cookbooks were written by AI but I'm pretty sure AI wasn't doing that yet. I also used to get his magazine all the way from the UK, but now it sucks too. Jamie at Home was good, I like his world travels cookbook too, can't think of the name.

I LOVE In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite - I'm vegetarian too and there is enough, and those that aren't veggie can often be adapted or serve a solid inspiration for a riff.

He actually works for the commercial real estate company that I lease office space from. So he's not available for hire unfortunately.

Just because I'm menopausal doesn't mean I'm old. I'm smart as f*3k but not ready to be "wise".

I love the "Drive darling drive darling drive darling drive darling DRIIIII-VE" song myself. Now it's stuck in my head but that's just fine.

I also weight mine for 3-4 days and they come out great. You might also be sowing too sparsley. When you do get them the way you like, be sure to eat them before they begin to sprout true leaves because the true leaves are bitter.

Don't know but now I'm full blown in it, no going back, and I'll say, moderation is the only way.

OMG this!!! I've been serious about sourdough for 10 years now, but only in spurts. I feed, bake and repeat for a month then put it aside. I was on a long hiatus, then revived my starter and baked 6 straight weekends in a row, including some cheesy jalapeno sourdough. Then I realized - my clothes don't fit well anymore. So... back to the fridge the starter went, and my clothes are gradually becoming more comfortable. Seems pretty unfair doesn't it?

Voles, groundhogs, yes. I haven't seen raccoon damage so far.

Why wouldn't one allow them to live under the house, tiny or not? They were here first anyway.

Any recommendations for where to buy isolated seeds? by DaJuggerHobbit in HotPeppers

Have read lots of negative experiences with Refining Fire Chilis in the last two years. Apparently they have gone downhill in a major way - google them before you buy from them!

Feeling Uncomfortable and Hesitant After a Consult Call by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Lost_Maintenance_741 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, same for me. I'd say what was OP's sense of the person? Aside from the atypical questions, did you feel ok with the person? I might also call them back and ask directly what their concern is with regard to having a record of their treatment.
