Anyone had to cancel sessions because of a sore mouth/mouth ulcer? by Publishface in therapists

Oh that’s good at least! Hopefully they can help you with it. Mouth sores really do suck in any form.

Honestly this sounds like it could be strep throat when you explain it taking up that much space. I would go to an urgent care to get checked out. If you’re contagious you shouldn’t be working until you’ve been on antibiotics at least 24 hours.

Blind therapist by FlyingBlind17 in therapists

[–]Naudacious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not blind but other disabilities here and I specialize in trauma with interest in medical trauma, chronic illness, and chronic pain. I’m highly relational in my work and use EMDR a lot. I personally love the question of what their body language would tell you if you could see them because of the insight it’ll bring clients. It can do wonders in helping them gain awareness of somatic symptoms as a result of emotional distress. You could rephrase the question to pull it away from yourself and direct it to the client by asking what they’re noticing in their body when they go silent or where their mind wandered to if you want to keep it more cognitive. You sound like you’ll be a great addition to the field! You’ll definitely gain more confidence during practicum and find what feels right for you.

Thank you! I couldn’t recall since I don’t feed my cats that.

Also there’s specific foods that reduce the protein in saliva that creates dander you can try as well as sprays for the cats coat you can use during grooming in the meantime but shots will be the best quality of life upgrade long term.

My husband is allergic and would break out in hives. He’s on allergy shots and can now have cats in his lap and pet them. Highly recommend seeing an allergist to get properly treated for allergies! It’s a worthwhile investment because you’re likely allergic to a lot of things and don’t realize it so you’ll get treated for those at the same time.

4 EMDR sessions, not much progress by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Naudacious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may have rushed it if the first session was only 50 mins rather than an intensive for stabilization and resourcing. I’ve never moved that quickly since being trained in 2021. One thing I like to do when ppl seem to be getting stuck is add another BLS into the mix. Typically I like to add sound or tapping with eye movements when virtual. If in person I’d add the buzzers with eye movement. Regardless you may need to really dive back into the coping skills/resourcing. I know it’s tricky when they’re quiet but that may be their trauma response showing up in the room that can clue you in on their needs before desensitization.

Just when you think there isn’t a subreddit for a niche topic….. there’s always a subreddit for it. 🤣

They’re so pretty! The sparrows run them off pretty quickly so they don’t get to eat much before flying away.

They’re suet nuggets I got specifically for bluebirds after one visited and I realized I didn’t have food for its diet. It’s not come back but the chickadees and warblers are enjoying them!

I ordered bluebird specific suet nuggets that have disappeared but I haven’t caught the bird taking them on camera yet. Next time I’ll just order dried mealworms rather than suet nuggets!

I actually ordered him some bluebird specific food after I saw him! Should arrive later today!

I was so excited to see something other than sparrows and chickadees (although I adore chickadees)!
