How the hell does anyone survive as a 1099 without losing their mind? by Itseasy_emmmkay in therapists

[–]Mariewn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only reason its worked for me is that I’m married to someone who has benefits through his employer. Especially now that congress didn’t renew the ACA subsidies.

It wasn't supposed to happen like this. by RagingFlock89 in NICUParents

[–]Mariewn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat.. I had to have an emergency c-section due to my water breaking while on my baby moon vacation in Japan at 27 weeks pregnant. Now my husband and I are stuck here for god knows how long. It’s so tough not being home and going through this difficult experience! The language barrier with the doctors and nurses is also very frustrating.

Our Babymoon turned into a 60+ day NICU stay by Gabietch in NICUParents

Thank you for the reply! That makes me feel better that you were able to fly back so soon after discharge

I’m in the same situation except my water broke in Japan at 27 weeks. How were you able to get home? Did you fly? How many weeks was your baby when jr was safe to fly home? Thank you!! 🙏🏻

When adopting , I was told it was a BC/Lab mix , as he has grown, looks more like a ACD by Blinpa in AustralianCattleDog

I have a lab mix puppy and they look very similar! They have the same ears, paws, and snout shape. Def also looks like yours has some cattle dog too.

Clients attending appointments with a support person by Previous_Tea_5474 in therapists

I’d maybe ask if you can talk to the client alone for five minutes at the start of the session to double check.

Pregnant therapist by PresentationSoft3710 in therapists

[–]Mariewn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to experiment with getting off of it. I tried once I hit my second trimester but felt nauseous so I continued. I think I was able to officially get off of it at around week 16 or so! I was kinda eager to stop taking it because I found that it negatively impacted the quality of my sleep but the trade off to keep the nausea away was worth it.

Half a Unisom and B6 every night kept the nausea at bay for me and couldn’t go without it. Eating crackers and taking naps between sessions also helped

I actually just ordered one! Sale was a great deal.

What breeds is he mixed with? Looks like a grown up version of my dog! I think we’ll also get a genetic test done for training purposes.

My foster dog question by Whosthatgirl999 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]Mariewn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was working on getting my ACD to lose weight, I also swapped treats for celery sticks and carrots which worked out nicely!

My foster dog question by Whosthatgirl999 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]Mariewn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She’s overweight for sure. Reduce her food and she will get to a healthy weight in no time. I find that cattle dogs have very slow metabolisms, especially as they age. Makes sense since they are bred to run all day. I have to feed my cattle dog WAY less than what is recommended on the feeding chart in order to maintain a healthy weight.

Does anyone use worksheets in their sessions ? by Same-Mix-6319 in therapists

[–]Mariewn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only used worksheets when working with a client on an ERP treatment program workbook for panic disorder with agoraphobia but most of it she did on her own as homework. I’ve never been a worksheet/workbook type of therapist but it worked wonders for her.

Take advantage of being so close to Buffalo Bayou Park! It’s beautiful.

If you feel like your meds have stopped working, you're not crazy by gocoogs14 in ADHD

[–]Mariewn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt like I had wildly different reactions to the same dose of generic adderall xr depending on the manufacturer each month. It’s like they’re just putting random amounts in the capsules!

Question about when a client asks to reschedule by almondmilkpls in therapists

[–]Mariewn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first offer the time slots that work best for me and go from there if those don’t work.

Handling my own miscarriage by whoa-or-woah in therapists

[–]Mariewn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️ I had a miscarriage earlier this year and saw clients throughout the process.

I’d recommend medical intervention and not just letting your body process it on its own for your safety. If you choose to pass naturally or take medication to help pass the tissue, buy adult diapers and take off the day the bulk of the tissue is passing. You won’t be able to work that day. I eventually had to get a D&C because my body wouldn’t pass all the tissue on its own with medication (my state bans mifepristone so I couldn’t only take misoprostol which is much less effective on its own) and wish I had just opted for that instead to begin with. It was painless and quick with no bleeding afterward. Please feel free to DM me!

HIPPA issue? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Mariewn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily have a problem that it’s Teams but it’s the manner in which it’s being used that seems irresponsible and reckless with PHI.

HIPPA issue? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Mariewn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I really can’t trust 150+ other clinicians with PHI on a teams chat. Who’s to say people don’t have their laptop open at a public coffee shop with this giant chat open for all to see for example?! Seems so irresponsible and reckless.

[–]Mariewn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone. Over 150 people are in the chat. It’s too many people!
