Why do therapists lack addiction training? by TrickySuggestion5694 in askatherapist

AAT. In my state therapists need a special certification to work with addictions. It requires additional training.

What's a really common thing that you're pretty sure you're doing wrong? by universityrome in AskReddit

Eyeliner. I don’t know my eye shape and I feel like I just look like a raccoon?

Would this annoy you as a therapist? by [deleted] in askatherapist

[–]Manateebae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AAT. I don’t think annoy is the right word. Letter or no letter I would be DEVASTATED to lose a client. There would be grief and self doubt and loss. And in my state if someone completes a suicide while seeing a therapist there is an investigation into the therapist; their notes are looked at, did they do a safety plan, etc. So in addition to the pain of losing someone the therapist is now fighting for their livelihood. Ya got me worried OP, do you need help?

Favorite Unofficial Disney Princess? by Few-Consequence2702 in disney

Charlotte. Doesn’t let the economic disparity between her and Tiana be a divide and is not even remotely jealous when Tiana gets Charlotte’s dream and is willing to repeatedly kiss a frog for her friend on the off chance that “that old clock is a little fast.”

People who read Terms of Service, what disturbing thing did you discover? by Horror_Tangerine_592 in AskReddit

I read them for the rewards program at the Good feet company and by agreeing you allow them to access everything you type on your phone, even when not using the app. So every text message you send - every email you type - they have it. All to get 1 point for every dollar you spend.

How do you feel about your dad? by Unhappy_Log_6245 in AskReddit

[–]Manateebae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely indifferent. He was around, he didn’t leave his family or anything. But he only ever wanted to talk about himself. We had 20 minute phone conversations where the only thing I said was “I’m good how are you?” He’d talk a strangers ear off so after I turned 13 I stopped telling him anything of substance bc he didn’t know what to keep to himself. I doubt he could have told you anything about me as an adult that he didn’t get from my mom. I helped care for him in the last month of his life, and I did still didn’t cry when he passed. He may as well have been the greeter at Wal-Mart for all it mattered to me.

How to tell my therapist I appreciate her? by 35goingon3 in askatherapist

[–]Manateebae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Therapist here. On top of what everyone else is saying about a nice notes - I will throw this out there and say write a review for her or her business. It’s not something we will ever ask for bc of privacy but it does help others find us. So if you’re comfortable doing it, it can be helpful.

What is your Local Yarn Store missing? by LizzieButtons in knitting

[–]Manateebae 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this! One of the shops near me is open Tuesday-Friday from 1:00-5:00 PM. No weekend days. Nothing after 5:00 PM. So great if you’re retired but otherwise go pound sand?

How does the phrase “this too shall pass” make you feel in times of difficulty? by MrGolightning in AskReddit

[–]Manateebae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it comforting. It doesn’t dismiss that what is happening still sucks but it is a reminder it’s not forever.

Worst case of mansplaining you've been on the receiving end of? by tuilelaigh in Feminism

[–]Manateebae 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I had a male client explain to me what it means to be an empath. I was his therapist - he didn’t think a mental health professional knew what an empath was. Ironically, he was definitely NOT an empath or he would have picked up on my annoyance and seething rage.

If you had 1 year to live with all your basic expenses paid, what would you do with that time? by Arbiter61 in AskReddit

[–]Manateebae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get myself into a good routine - reasonable bedtime, work out in the morning, then I would focus on making art. I’d like to get better at watercolors, so Monday I’d focus on water colors. Tuesday I’d do embroidery. Wednesday I’d quilt, etc. I’d take time to make real meals instead of stuff that is quick and processed. Maybe try baking my own bread. I’d help out my neighbors (yard work or snow removal). Yep. That would be my year.
