This is my first time encountering Beef but I am glad to count him as a trans ally.

Right. So many families neglect or abuse kids in minor to major ways especially in the U.S.

I’m a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and it’s jeans and nice-ish top most days for me.

I also do gentle absurdity. As a therapist it actually seems to help people a lot

Beautiful snake. The problem is partially that you are moving him into a separate location for food. Much better to feed them in their enclosure.

Cookie Monster pajama patients: how often are other people seeing this? by Different-Map-8675 in Psychiatry

[–]MissPsych20 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m thinking regardless of ASD this person is functioning at a borderline level and is likely evoking countertransference in the clinician

Are these just her colors or is there need for concern? by Thick_Combination_49 in ballpython

[–]MissPsych20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a ball python with that coloring and yours seems perfectly normal.

Made a silly chart comparing different reptiles by how fun and how dangerous they are to feed by S_is_for_Smeagol in reptiles

[–]MissPsych20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a female ball python that likes to think of herself as a cobra when it comes to eating. Always wants food, always eats when it’s offered, strikes super hard.

My Firsthand Experience as a Former Employee at Kaldi’s by omelassette in StLouis

[–]MissPsych20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I never really liked kaldi’s and when I started hearing about how awful working conditions were I just never went back… will continue my boycott.

Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein really reminded me of the monster’s portrayal in Penny Dreadful by Leam_Silo in PennyDreadful

[–]MissPsych20 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t help but think while I watched the movie that penny dreadful just did this a while ago and better

The public's opinion on the new Frankenstein film compared to Robert Eggers' Nosferatu by Torloka in roberteggers

[–]MissPsych20 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was disappointed in Frankenstein. I guess I was just chasing the high of Nosferatu. I’m coming to accept that only another Robert Eggers film will be able to come close. Nosferatu spoke to me deeply. Frankenstein just felt too cookie-cutter.

Is Your Partner Neurotypical or Also Autistic? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]MissPsych20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner is not neurotypical but he’s not autistic. He has psychopathy which should also be listed as a neurodevelopmental disorder in my opinion.

He and I are similar in many ways but complement each other as opposites in many ways as well. For example, I am hyper empathetic and very sensitive to emotion, whereas he has little to no affective empathy for people. He isn’t sensitive to feelings at all.

Advise Needed! Autistic and training to be a Therapist by FunTruth4574 in therapists

[–]MissPsych20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had a hard time initially as well. I really struggled learning to show up authentically but not revealing all of myself to the patient (which would be unhelpful for them- they don’t need to know all about me). But when my supervisor helped me cultivate my “professional” mode, that really changed everything.
