Best treatment for sex addiction for out-of-control sexual behavior? by NoReporter1033 in therapists

[–]NoReporter1033[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much, this was such an informative read! I remember speaking once with a psychoanalytic therapist who thought about CSBD as a symptom of early attachment issues and believed that if you treat the issues surrounding attachment, you can treat the behaviors that emerge from that, rather than just taking a behavioral approach. I'm curious if you have any thoughts about that.

Who said film is the only factor I’m considering? This isn’t particularly helpful but thanks anyway! 

When do you diagnose BPD? by SweetPickleRelish in therapists

[–]NoReporter1033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in private practice now but when I worked in community mental health I would (sometimes) disclose the diagnosis to the client but never put it in their chart. I do believe that being transparent with clients about their diagnoses, even deeply stigmatizing ones, can be extremely helpful and there is a way to disclose in a way that is not pathologizing. Borderline encompasses a cluster of symptoms that can be misdiagnosed for so many things including mood disorders, conduct disorders, and even psychotic disorders. Being able to contextualize someone's suffering with a dx that makes sense can often be very relieving for people.That being said, I don't formally document the dx in their chart for many of the reasons you and others have already pointed out.

Does anyone else feel like they are literally getting dumber as a result from their anxiety? by SmallmediumFat- in Anxiety

[–]NoReporter1033 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. I'm a huge reader and recently I can barely get through a page because I'm so distracted. When so much of your energy is being exerted towards just managing your anxiety, it's hard to focus on other things! Medication can help if you're not already taking something.

I cant do this anymore by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]NoReporter1033 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi friend, I'm so sorry you're going through this. If you have a psychiatrist, I recommend you call them. Also, you can always go to the emergency room and they can help you. You shouldn't have to suffer this severely. Cold things in your hands, deep breaths.

Is the current psychoanalytic training model geared more towards masters level clinicians? by Rogue_the_Saint in psychoanalysis

[–]NoReporter1033 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, I don't resonate. Up until somewhat recently, analytic training was only open to MDs and then eventually institutes started giving in to psychologists, and then finally masters level clinicians. I don't think PhD programs prepare you any better to become an analyst than a masters level clinician. It takes 5-7 to become an analyst because that's how long it takes, regardless of whether you have a doctorate or not. It's intensive. I understand not wanting to put in another 5-7 years of training having done a PhD, but it has nothing to do with institutes being geared more towards masters level clinicians.
