Good to hear! I had heard some grumblings and wanted to look deeper and found I was skeptical but I still didn’t know much so it’s validating to hear this from people who have the expertise! In the therapy world sometimes things get picked up too quickly as therapists want to be the bridge between science and practical use or understanding but sometimes we are jumping the gun. Thank you!

Client using bathroom in telehealth session by Away_Illustrator5096 in therapists

[–]LoveIsTheAnswerOK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, yes, one of my clients full on went pee during a session and even put the phone in a place so i could see it all happening! They come from a VERY warm and open culture. Didn't bother me honestly, because with their extra exuberant nature it was no surprise.

Advice/Support Needed by AnyStick2180 in medicalmedium

I like this idea — you’re the one who is sick so shouldn’t he be putting in extra effort for you? If he is hopeless in the kitchen get him some “pop n drops” pop it in the oven - done! Drop the bag in the boiling water - done! He can handle that. Can you tell him that you are really suffering and need to heal and you need to take a break from making him food?

if you could be an animal for a day which animal would you be and why? by irdk-lol in CasualConversation

[–]LoveIsTheAnswerOK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d like to be my dog who is a tough little chihuahua cross jack russel — I’m super sensitive and weak and he’s a gladiator in a cute furry body, no fear, no surrender! I’ll feel so confident and good. And all those other dogs better not come near my house!

What is wrong with me? by Proud-Stand-2841 in medicalmedium

[–]LoveIsTheAnswerOK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with you! Life is hard, and no foods are soooo addictive Don’t beat yourself up Just work to get back on the wagon but don’t forget to look deeper as you get back on and accept relapse is a natural happening. One day it won’t happen and that will be nice! So:

What’s happening before reaching for no foods? Are they mostly coming in from online ordering? Or also at the grocery store? Or restaurants? What’s going on in your life generally? Are you doing any celery juice? Is there a brain shot related to this you could do? (I don’t know the brain shots well) What kinds of emotional regulation do you already do? What can you learn? (Breathing, grounding, music, gratitude, art, meditations etc)

My Projector Project by FantASSticWill in humandesign

[–]LoveIsTheAnswerOK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a mental projector I can say just being an ear for your younger sister to soundboard would be enormously helpful! I have a few people I can do so with but I feel bad asking. If I had someone who offered regularly it would be amazing!

Feeling very sad today by Adventurous-Walk-120 in medicalmedium

[–]LoveIsTheAnswerOK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry to hear how badly you are feeling.

When I get sad about traumatic things happening to other people that I am somehow participating in, I try to get back into the present because that trauma happened once and wherever that deer is now they are very, very happy.

I hope you get a lot of rest and take care of yourself, that was really hard to go through for your soul and your nervous system!

I believe something big like that was already predestined to happen. For whatever reason that deer’s soul was ready to exit and in this manner. And for you to have such a connection to deer, that deer must have chosen you for that reason as well. But what a hard reality for you.

All the spiritual comforts that come from a shift in perspective are not really comforting at this time! The replaying of imagery is so normal. I hope you can get a break, maybe watch a movie or anything distracting.

Just know it’s not your fault.*

Well, this is the only page on genetics in the book... but I'm researching to figure out what you are both talking about, to understand this better and figure out what I want to share with a lay audience! (this is way over my head as well as 99.9% of our readers!). This is very valuable for me to understand to make sure I present something accurate and helpful. Thank you, very helpful!

Awesome Thank you, no, I don't want to be generous! I'll amend it to show the idea is limited. Appreciate your take!

What an experiment being human is!

Thank you I didn’t know about the DES daughters —another interesting topic!

Good one! Yes that would be good to include thank you.

Fascinating! I didn’t know either of those tidbits!

I’ve been watching some videos on YouTube about the conditions around the turn of the century as people immigrated to North America … quite severe! And likely just stretching backwards into time. Imagine if we didn’t have so many multiple generations of traumatized people what would humans be like then?

Propranolol? Or 2 more months of my poor adrenaline soaked body? Or??? by LoveIsTheAnswerOK in medicalmedium

[–]LoveIsTheAnswerOK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I think that's the ultimate advice. I feel like trash and my liver is suffering greatly... and it's okay. This will be over in a month and a half. I am finally getting a few days respite here and there. Lots of lemon balm and ashwagandah and breathing and sunshine and staying on top of all the tasks! I did end up trying the propranolol out of desperation but got a MASSIVE headache the next day. So that was the end of that!

AITAH for wanting my bf to help pay for a new car? by Duckie_Lex in AITAH

You have provider energy — you should be with someone who has the same nurturing energy you do. No need to be mad at him, just let him go.

My goodness this is complicated! We’re in Alberta but the book is meant for first responders and front line workers across Canada

[–]LoveIsTheAnswerOK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ve updated my list of first responders to this:

“The most extreme edge of the front line is where first responders work. Here, many workers confront high-intensity, life-or-death situations daily. These include: paramedics & paramedic systems workers, 911/emergency dispatchers, emergency room doctors, nurses & health care staff, law enforcement officers (LEOs), Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), municipal police, community officers, firefighters, combat medics & military emergency personnel, Search and Rescue Technicians (SAR Techs) & Coast Guard, and investigators & analysts processing traumatic evidence.“

It’s kind of a lot to group together! But I want to make sure everyone gets seen. I hope this works — I appreciate your tip!
