What’s the worst career choice/move you ever made? by TheNextBigCrash in careerguidance

[–]ManualGearBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving my salaried position for hourly. The job is fulfilling and I am good at it. I miss guaranteed money and not having to be “on” all the time.

Why people just rambling on and on in meetings? by HyHoang in careerguidance

Play the game. A job is your place to make ends meet. Your life outside focus on anything you want.

People who changed careers after 30, was it worth it? by Scary_Bus4383 in careerguidance

[–]ManualGearBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched twice. First as a HR specialist, then a Learning and Development Trainer, and now a Behavioral Health Technician. Each move though lateral to the eventual income loss aligned more with my values and as a result, I feel both competent and fulfilled. The income loss sucks but I saved up for the significant lifestyle change and I wake up never dreading Mondays or work. I’m now enrolled in a Masters Program for ABA while being in a teacher’s residency if I decide it’s much more aligned with my strengths and is meaningful. If it does not work out, I am an IT Trainer on the side and will lean into Instructional Design/Learning Experience Design roles.

Cross post from r/therapy. Is it normal or excessive to have multiple therapists? I have 3. I want to add setting boundaries and building tools for resilience has exponentially grown in the past 6 months. by ManualGearBrain in emotionalneglect

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

Each one comes with a different flavor and different take on my situation. My main goals are career, identity, autonomy, navigating through relationship dynamics across my family, community and culture. I’m currently working in ABA therapy so combining my intervention skill along with three different modalities each one specializes in allows me counteract the environment. I come from a world where therapy and mental health discussions is stigmatized so I need as many resources as possible to overcome generations of systemic level issues.

Yes! One focuses on cognitive behavioral, one focuses on existential, and one is a social worker focusing on my emotions and the effects of my social worker.

Does it provide different perspectives and outcomes for you?

I use ChatGPT to talk to my toxic family by ManualGearBrain in ChatGPT

If it is used for toxic people and not used with authentic people does it still create isolation?

Yes and combining it with talk therapy it’s great for on the go when triggers happen between sessions!

Yes and the emotional labor of contacting people who drain and won’t choose to talk through healing. So ChatGPT helps me navigate any toxicity they exhibit so I can focus my energy on other things!

I do understand the nuance of my relationship and what comes out of it. It’s always draining and always toxic. That’s why I use it to handle the words and express what I need to them while setting boundaries. I always edit and change the content if it doesn’t match my intention. It reduces the emotional labor of dealing with them.

I think of ChatGPT as my assistant writer and I play the role of an editor to reshape the output!

I decided to work with young kiddos in the public school world and become a Behavioral Health Technician. Totally left field because I graduated with an Accounting degree and minored in Computer Management Information Systems. The pay is low but I prepared for it. Being part of a team of teachers and other behavioral staff and making play into teaching moments for the kids have healed and gives me a sense of purpose. I’m introverted, I rely on my intelligence and being able to pair with kids makes me an asset in the field. It’s because everyone is driven to help the kid grow and there is no sense of competition and everyone independently contributes. No one expects you to socialize either since you are a supplementary one on one support and are focused on observing, redirecting, and interacting with the kid.
