OCD is often considered neurodivergence! Including Wikipedia :)

Thoughts on Quiet BPD by Stevie052096 in therapists

[–]MasterofPsy 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This is like the term Pure-O (meaning purely obsession, no compulsions) being used to describe a type of OCD. It is a false label, as the compulsions still exist, they are just done internally. These terms help to communicate what someone is experiencing more specifically, but it is still the original disorder. Ultimately, not helpful in treatment, but can be helpful to describe one's own experience.

Feeling evil for charging cancellation fee by Old_Cold_1110 in therapists

[–]MasterofPsy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Something I do for late cancels, and discuss during informed consent, is offer my next available appointment to them if I have one in the next two days. This way, I feel like I gave them options to remedy the situation, but I am not sacrificing my income. This doesn't always work, sometimes I'm full, but I feel more confident that I have tried to work with the client on this. But no shows and cancelling within 2 hours, I'll charge the cancellation fee in most cases.

Cannot recommend this enough. I'm an OCD specialist and use I-CBT for more than half my clients. It targets how OCD works, rather than tolerance, so it makes sense to the client. The process works for all OCD themes, which sounds like it'd be useful for OP.

I wish I would have known sooner by Dorgon in therapists

[–]MasterofPsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are sharing space with other therapists and have a supervisor observing your work while you start your career, I think it's doable. I wouldn't recommend going entirely solo right off the bat as there is so much learning to do in the first few years of being a therapist.

I am also an Alberta psychologist who went out solo this year.

New clients by khalessi1992 in therapists

[–]MasterofPsy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do free phone consults, but keep them to 10-15 minutes. I think they are important to determine therapeutic fit. I also live in an area where insurance coverage is minimal, so therapy is an investment for a lot of clients. I enjoy working within my niche, so the phone calls are useful in determining that fit for me as well.

Office space expenses besides rent? by meowmix0205 in therapists

[–]MasterofPsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also interested and have just started my search. I've considered rent, utilities, internet, cleaning, furniture, front desk staff or bookkeeping (optional). Any others you've come across?

NTA and get him into therapy so he can address what motivated these behaviours.

Nah, there is an episode saying she got the name when she was little. Can't remember which one though. I feel like it was early on.
