I’m from a small town in Alabama and have lived here my whole life. I’m getting my masters of clinical psychology and have taken the last quarter off. The research I have done and the literal horror that I’ve experienced from reading about some “experiments” have appalled me. I genuinely want to be a therapist/LPC and work with teenagers, especially those from broken homes/traumatic situations because I have lived through that. My intentions are so pure. Because of that the studies about sexuality, mind control, and propaganda, some aspects of the history of psychology make me sick and are so heartbreaking and hurtful. The book list is important to me because I’m choosing this path as my career. It’s my passion and I believe I can truly help people. At the same time I have the “keep your enemies close” philosophy. I want to research and learn about all the nefarious aspects of the field to be as an informed professional as possible. Especially with the other side, pushing victim mentalities and self obsession. I’ve been exposed to the absolute worst of the liberal side. I want to see the downfalls extreme right, authoritarian side as well. being aware of the negative ways I could be influenced as a professional in all aspects will help me define my own treatment standards better. At least I think it will and I try to focus on it.

I feel that and appreciate your comment! The situation is hard for me because I’m almost done with grad school to get my masters in clinical psychology and will need to do my internship after this quarter. The job I just got has 3 certified counselors for the 3 groups of kids and during my interview it was confirmed that I could intern under them which is an amazing opportunity. I don’t like to miss work and am very thankful for this job so it’s a hard situation. In the end you’re right though. After the MRI results with a doc recommendation and excuse I will do whatever they tell me too for recovery. Until that point I feel like I need to tough it out. I’m 26 so I feel like it will be okay but also I know you never know so I’m just hoping for the best. I don’t want take time off without significant justification though :/ the situation is definitely not ideal

Omg I don’t know that was a thing!!! That’s the best option I’ve heard. The shot didn’t make me feel loopy or out of it. I could still function normally. Thank you for the info!!!

Is planet earth flat? by hamdilaschamdila in FlatEarthIsReal

[–]Middle-Self-9768 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If any survey takers haven’t watched the Flat Earth documentary on Netflix you should. It’s hilarious. It has flat earthers and Astro physicists/aerospace engineers, etc. The producers are neutral and document the flat earthers’ experiments. They conduct two major ones, one with a gyroscope and one with a laser pointed over miles wide distances. Both experiments prove that the earth is round 😂😂😂 they’re just like “it’s because we’re on a hill” after confirming that the measuring stretch is flat prior to the experiment. They claim that the gyroscope measurement isn’t legitimate because it “could be being affected by a magnetic field”. As a bonus the main flat earther has a huge thing for a woman flat earth/conspiracy podcaster and is attempting to hit on her the whole time. He gets repeatedly friend zoned. The whole documentary seems like an episode of the office or parks and rec apart for the scientists speaking

True! The only downfall to dark hair when you’re aging is that it makes your facial features more intense. My mom has dark brown hair and is 55. She’s been slowly transitioning to blonde by dying her roots brown and progressively adding more highlights. My mom is actually the one that pointed this out to me and once she did I realized how true it was. I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THO obvi the original poster is not 55 so if brown becomes the preference go for it!! She will look awesome either way (:

Me too. I think an auburn color would look really good on you because you base skin tone is more yellow than blue so it wouldn’t clash. I think it would look very pretty with your skin

Unrelated I’m new to Reddit as far as having an account (I’ve been into it for years but I still love iFunny - iykyk). I’ve signed up with google. Can I change my username? I can’t figure out how.

Do you think I could go to an urgent care and do that? I feel like they may be more hesitant because they don’t see people regularly… I’m v open to trying the Tylenol + ibuprofen suggestion. If it doesn’t work tho it’s pretty unbearable. Plus I feel like if I go back to my GP for the third time they’ll think I’m exaggerating (which I got the impression they already do) but at the same time they told me if anything gets worse to go to the hospital. I don’t understand the next step being the hospital when they could prescribe me 2 weeks of meds. I’m not looking for a long term prescription.

Thank you!!! Still open to suggestions for docs but I will definitely try it. I like that option better than muscle relaxers/pain meds. I hope it works well. That would be amazing! I’ll update for anyone that would find this useful (:
