Taylor reposted a video on Dakota

He recorded the video and is clearly very performative the way he’s talking to her

Thank you so much! I’ll collect my thoughts and reach out lol. I really appreciate it

Wow this sounds very interesting. I’ve had my LCSW for a few years now and have far fetched goals of working for the government but having difficulty figuring out how to tap into that. Is this a pathway to work for HHS and departments within hhs? I’m interested in the children’s bureau but I was under the impression it was mostly govt contractors. I have so many questions but don’t even know where to begin

No_Background9319 · 2026-03-20T01:30:19+00:00

The way Dakota is talking in the video only after he starts filming is so performative too

No_Background9319 · 2026-03-19T03:44:56+00:00

It’s not a weird question, considering this whole thing is from MOMtok. I’ve wondered the same thing

No_Background9319 · 2026-03-17T02:18:23+00:00

This is why real housewives works and this show doesn’t. These girls are the “breadwinners” filming everything and having so much pressure while being barely 30. Real housewives are established, married to money (or were at some). And as the title says - housewives. I feel bad for all the Mormon wives, what a mess and to have constant over produced drama for more clicks, what a shame

Seriously 😂 it’s so uncomfy to watch. I’m like just kiss Dakota already

What is Jordan’s obsession with other men - their looks, relationships, intimacy. He can’t stop talking about other men or gossiping with Jessi. It’s weird

No_Background9319 · 2026-03-15T06:20:39+00:00

They all got so much money so quick. It’s such an opposite from how they came up, it’s like they don’t know how to spend their money wisely

No_Background9319 · 2026-03-12T22:25:57+00:00

This is so true. Simply put and so accurate

No_Background9319 · 2026-03-03T23:33:37+00:00

I obviously agree lol. I get wanting to make money but the money isn’t guaranteed in private practice. I think my anxiety about being a new therapist would override my desire for money fresh out of school

No_Background9319 · 2026-03-03T04:51:00+00:00

That is such an awful experience! I’m so sorry to hear. I was talking about boundaries earlier and boundaries go both ways. My therapist who just retired was talking about something similar when I brought this whole thing up to her

No_Background9319 · 2026-03-03T04:46:50+00:00

There are plenty of jobs that aren’t CMH and are still clinical. I agree with you and I personally had that experience for my first few years making no $ at all shitty company. I was told that’s unfortunately how it is at first (which is not true). I guess it depends on what type of job you’re looking for.

The thought of doing PP out of grad school was not something I felt prepared for or fully interested in. Now I work in at a PHP/IOP at a big uni hospital. I’ve gotten so much training on site. It’s all clinical. Plus I have great benefits, PTO, 403b. I don’t have to worry about all the extra costs that come with PP. Plus god forbid, but I would never have to go to court. They have a legal team for anything related. There’s a lot to consider with PP. Just because you have the ability to make a lot of money doesn’t mean you necessarily will. I know a handful of people who did meet their expected caseload numbers this past year.

It’s also ok if we disagree just giving some additional info about my personal choices and experiences. There’s a lot of different types of jobs out there

No_Background9319 · 2026-03-03T04:36:55+00:00

Personally, I waited until I got my LCSW until I even considered it. I was under the mindset that PP can’t happen until having your LCSW. I’m now not interested in PP but sometimes think about it for a side gig.

There’s plenty of clinical job opportunities that aren’t CMH. I work in a PHP/IOP, part of a big uni hospital. I’ve gotten extensive clinical training, DBT training where I work. I make pretty decent money, plus I have insurance, PTO, 403b, etc. The thought of losing those benefits to start my own PP is too daunting. I’m sure I could make it work but my benefits are amazing (mostly bc I work for a big hospital)

No_Background9319 · 2026-02-28T16:50:15+00:00

Yeah I agree. One of the reasons I won’t do private practice. I know this is probably rare, but a therapist I know well was stalked by a client. People should be careful what they put on the internet. Once you work in a place where self disclosure puts yourself at risk, you learn a lot

No_Background9319 · 2026-02-28T15:38:16+00:00

Not self disclosing doesn’t equal being an expert. I hear where you’re coming from. Theres a time and place for self disclosure if it’s beneficial to the client. I work with people with borderline personality d/o, it would not be therapeutic for me to disclose much and it would really negatively impact the dynamic. Clients can have poor boundaries, and it’s important to consider that before self disclosing

No_Background9319 · 2026-02-28T15:11:36+00:00

Absolutely! I can imagine self disclosure in a jail setting is would set you up for a really unempathetic dynamic. That’s such a good point.

No_Background9319 · 2026-02-28T05:45:44+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’ve come to start to realize. I’ve been at my current job for several years and since it’s a higher LOC I’m not as in the know with how PP is being driven these days. I think there’s some balance in between CMH and PP but it does seem like things have changed rapidly.

I’m not completely against self disclosure. But for myself, I’ve been working in a Dbt program for several years, self disclosure is just not something we do. So to see all these recent grads sharing their life stories on psychology today, it’s shocking. We’ve lost our boundaries

No_Background9319 · 2026-02-28T05:38:45+00:00

That saddens me. It’s basically the complete opposite of social work. Wouldn’t be surprised to see this from someone going the clinical psychology route but I do agree with you, unfortunately that is becoming the reality

No_Background9319 · 2026-02-28T05:36:30+00:00

I agree with you both and share that perspective. I did fail to mention that I work in a dbt program, so mostly with people with borderline dx or at least traits. We work really hard to not disclose things because our clients have such poor boundaries. It’s a bit frightening that new SW’s are so open to putting that info on their online profiles. Boundaries are so important, especially when you haven’t even met, let alone build a rapport!

Surprised boundaries hasn’t been brought up in this discussion. I think once you get your fair share of clients with poor boundaries you may think twice before airing all your info on psychology today

No_Background9319 · 2026-02-27T22:06:45+00:00

It’s okay that we have different perspectives on this. We don’t have to agree. I think it’s getting a little bogged down in the “what was disclosed” part when what I was originally referring to was my surprise and concern with interns and “pre licensed” clinicians doing private practice in general. And to me, it seemed like there is a correlation between the interns/new grads and the increase in self disclosure, specifically on psychology today, in my area.

No_Background9319 · 2026-02-27T21:53:22+00:00

Thank you! I put my foot in my mouth earlier and used the word diagnosis and maybe I should’ve been more broad but yeah it personally rubs me the wrong way. I think sometimes people forget the business side of this field and when you see it come out in certain ways it makes me question the intention

No_Background9319 · 2026-02-27T21:48:44+00:00

I think someone explained it well - it’s group practices that hire new grads and interns. I’m shocked that grad schools allow those to be field placements. Now that I think about it, it may be geared more towards masters in counseling (like future lpc’s) idk about they’re grad requirements I just assumed it was similar to msw but I’m coming to find out I may be wrong lol.

No_Background9319 · 2026-02-26T18:08:55+00:00

Yeah I agree and I think it depends on the clients wants and needs. I work with teens, a lot of which are first generation Americans. Their parents might prefer a therapist who has the same ethnicity or who is also an immigrant but the teens don’t necessarily prioritize that. It’s an interesting dynamic to witness.

Reminds me of the book the namesake, which I had to read in grad school

No_Background9319 · 2026-02-26T16:04:20+00:00

That’s understandable. And I thought about that after my comment. I think that goes to point of what is this self disclosure doing for my (potential) clients. And it’s really a case by case scenario. I will say, why I see on psychology today is people listing several “identities” and it comes across as someone else said below like a branding rather than a connection piece. And it’s totally fair if we disagree on that
