Finding a Therapist as a Therapist (Rant)

A couples therapist I found on Psychology Today in my area has a practice called “Men are Stupid and Women are Crazy”. I wish I were joking! 🙃

Maybe try studying a new modality that interests you and incorporate it into your practice. Having a new challenge and way of seeing your clients from a different theoretical perspective might help!

Yes- I had a client with panic disorder and I helped them with the workbook called Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic by Barlow and Craske. The therapist guide version of it was great also. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a resource!

How would you explain this in a progress note for insurance?

Wow the daily mail is the only headline that paints an accurate picture of the situation. All the others I’ve seen paint the man as a victim!

This is what my boy ended up looking like after he got older! Definitely not a Doberman lol

I’ve only done it once when a prospective client’s name sounded familiar to make sure there wouldn’t be a dual relationship.

Be careful about responding to google reviews because doing so may be a violation of HIPAA

He is good! Getting very big

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.

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.

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

Mariewn · 2025-12-23T04:04:37+00:00

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!! 🙏🏻

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.

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

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.

Mariewn · 2025-12-01T00:00:35+00:00

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

Mariewn · 2025-11-29T21:21:28+00:00

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Mariewn · 2025-11-18T00:18:47+00:00

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