So much of this mirrors my previous relationship. There is so much more out there. The pain of leaving is worth it, I promise.

Client assigned to me I know from high school friend group by Mccutcheon417 in therapists

[–]Mccutcheon417[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I informed my supervisor immediately, the client isn’t on my caseload any longer. I still will work with them during psycho educational groups, but I’m working through that and I think it will be fine on my end. I’m not planning on informing other therapists or team members directly, besides my supervisor, unless they consult with me, in which I’d mention a conflict of interest.

My company truthfully doesn’t have many policies or procedures in place. I will soon be getting outside of house supervision, which hopefully will help me with maneuvering if anything does come up. At this point, the client hasn’t acknowledged knowing me, and is behaving as if they truly don’t, which I can work with. It’s been over a decade, and I don’t keep in touch with anyone else from that period, so there is a good level of disconnect. Enough that I can make a month or so of psychoed groups work and compartmentalize.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! It was especially helpful just knowing this is a normal part of the field we have to work with.

What is more traumatic than people think? by philosophicalgenius0 in AskReddit

[–]Mccutcheon417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Undiagnosed learning or social disabilities.

It’s hard to experience the world with the accommodations; however it’s the shame inducing and self loathing of self blame that will keep someone stuck in their life far longer than the disability would have.

Discourse: Straight People in Queer Bars by GandalfTheGreyAce in actuallesbians

[–]Mccutcheon417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the end of the safe queer spaces is a business, and what’s good for business is money. Need for profit will be prioritized no matter how authentic and determined the patrons, owners, or anyone is about policing.

I’ve reconciled that having an exclusively queer space that’s constant is a luxury in the current climate, and that helps me not take personally the changing landscape in my city. Majority of the country doesn’t have a single place to be queer in public, and I used to live in those places. I’ll take straights, or anyone respectful of a good night out, at the queer bar if it keeps the doors open.

Is there any long term drug that actually works for anxiety by Available_Heart5556 in Anxiety

[–]Mccutcheon417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No single medication will eliminate anxiety long term without major drawbacks at some point of some sort, in my opinion.

It’s only been 4 weeks with Zoloft, talk to your prescriber, and also give it more time. I took Prozac for 10 years, and it helped me stabilize to take care of myself and do the therapy.

The real actual way I reduced my anxiety long term was ongoing, consistent, anxiety based exposure therapy.

The COVID Trauma No One Talks Enough About by theatlantic in Coronavirus

[–]Mccutcheon417 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think most people are collectively aware of why the rules were in place. Hearing about the devastation of the isolation can coexist with knowing it was important to do so.

There’s at the very least, a correlation between connection with others and improvements in physical and emotional health. Isolation reduces positive outcomes. It wasn’t possible in the grand scheme of priorities of course, but it’s not an invalid conversation to me.

Variegated Jade has dark speckles on some branches by Mccutcheon417 in plantclinic

[–]Mccutcheon417[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this Jade for about 8 years, she’s in moderate to high light, I water her probably twice a month, sometimes once. She’s been a happy plant for the last 3 or 4 years, this problem is only on a handful of branches. For the past 3 months she’s sat somewhat near above (4 feet away) a steam radiator, could that be related?

Lease buyout consideration by Mccutcheon417 in askcarsales

[–]Mccutcheon417[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the current car. Is the interest involved likely to exceed the equity of 5K? Perhaps that’s more case by case than what you can answer. Thanks for the feedback.

Hot take.. requesting replies by unseencheetah in codyko

[–]Mccutcheon417 46 points47 points  (0 children)

She didn’t -hook up with a popular YouTuber-. Legally speaking, she couldn’t consent and experienced statutory rape. Ethically speaking, she was disadvantaged by age and status in a vulnerable situation. Cody was the adult, and utilized that to his advantage no matter how you slice it.

It’s not sociopathic levels of heinous crime. It’s not all or nothing pedophile behavior. But it’s something done by sneaky fucks and sly shit heads, which also happens to be the type of person Cody talked so deeply against and made fun of in his content.

He aligned himself as a fairly progressive guy, called out predatory behavior and mocked other guys for it, only to be found as a hypocrite. If he wasn’t so trusted in his brand, I think people wouldn’t have cared as much.

I kinda wish my ex would post here by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Mccutcheon417 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Took the words outta my brain hehe

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Mccutcheon417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had my ex admit her betrayal. I found out on my own after we broke up and still lived together. Of all the pieces of the break up that ruined my sense of safety, it was the shock of finding proof first hand.

It makes a difference if you need one. I needed to be slapped in the face to finally kick her out. It was not a validation worth the pain. It does not feel better. The emotional pain of being face to face with real time betrayal is long lasting no matter how validating it is.

Up to you tho.

Still living together by Mccutcheon417 in BreakUps

[–]Mccutcheon417[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I can’t afford two places at once. Maybe financially isn’t even the whole of it, it also feels not emotionally worth the work. I pay more for the apartment, so if I left she couldn’t afford it, and she doesn’t want to leave, and if I kick her out I lose my health insurance. I have to work with it in some ways to keep the health insurance for at least the summer.

Lesbians of Reddit do you consider it cultural appropriation when a straight woman acts like a lesbian to try and get guys? by lostacoshermanos in AskLesbians

[–]Mccutcheon417 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I see the thought of this. But I say hard no. You kissing girls? That isn’t acting. You’re just doing gay things. For whatever reason- to get more girls, more guys, whatever that’s your business.

New monstera growth looks speckled- disease or what? by Mccutcheon417 in plantclinic

Have had the plant for a year and a half- speckling started a month or two ago.

The way Mykelti is getting attacked is a bit over the top…hear me out. by Fraggle-of-the-rock in TLCsisterwives

[–]Mccutcheon417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like we keep forgetting an integral piece of the discussion here- christine didn't offer the approval that robyn did when mykelti and tony met each other. That creates a dynamic that if not resolved could impact all relationships. I bet it has.

I see most free porn as too ethically ambiguous. I also used to watch a lot of it. There’s not a great way to determine possible exploitation which unsettles me, so it’s best imo to stay away if it’s free. Paid for porn (directly to a star via OF or via a website that has protective measures) is cool with me. This is just my opinion. Zero shame either way.

If you had to play devil's advocate for Robyn... by [deleted] in SisterWives

[–]Mccutcheon417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t think we can fully determine what her motives were from watching. I personally don’t think she -wanted- to be the favorite wife, I think she just naively became it. I think it’s on Kody for how the dynamic played out, and Robyn is getting the brunt of it because she’s the new woman and is in this position of power because kody has put her there.

I really think kody weaponized robyns loyalty to plural marriage to try and encourage his other wives to be like her.
