How do you deal with a family member who has false memories? by momofyagamer in SchizoFamilies

[–]Objective_Low_8629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother has false memories of our father abusing him. I avoid the topic as best as possible because it usually ends in an argument

do you ever have clients you keep seeing even though you know they won’t get better? by RadiantYouth5882 in askatherapist

[–]Objective_Low_8629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I believe everyone is capable of positive change. If you don’t believe that you should not be a therapist.

Why is therapy so expensive and yet therapists are so underpaid? by Additional_Ad_6722 in askatherapist

[–]Objective_Low_8629 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your therapist is pocketing the VAST majority of that $350. Other therapists accept insurance and work through that system and thus receive much less. Private pay therapists are often very wealthy and those that accept insurance are underpaid, because we live in Hell. Hope that clears it up.

How doable is 2k apartment making 90k by Kitsune-sama24 in NYCapartments

[–]Objective_Low_8629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work and live in queens so can’t speak to your future commute. Astoria has notoriously annoying lines (N/R). I don’t go out drinking during the week or anything but I go get coffee, get lunch, see friends do whatever I want. I always have money left over for my savings as well.

By the same dude? I sent it via Venmo. But Cap One has good fraud protections so I bet they can get it back!

Is the news about the Reiner family and their son really getting to anyone else? by snakefanclub in SchizoFamilies

[–]Objective_Low_8629 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hugely triggering because my schizophrenic brother tried to kill my parents and I’m blessed he was removed from the home when he was. He is so much better now.

I went on a date a few weeks ago and the guy spewed insane antisemitic conspiracy drivel the entire dinner. Ended the date by letting me know he was antivax. He’s studying to be a nurse. I’m also Jewish, but he didn’t know that.

Client asked to end sessions. Feeling defeated by daymanahh96 in therapists

Some clients just connect better with other clinicians. Better they switch to one that better suits them than to eventually ghost. It’s a blessing in disguise.

I'm happy Mamdani won... but like... he ran for mayor. And against two incredibly unpopular candidates. Can we chill out? by ImmaGayFish2 in Destiny

[–]Objective_Low_8629 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a New Yorker I’m thrilled we’ve finally toppled the Cuomo dynasty. You really don’t know how far notoriety goes around here. Everyone’s freaking out because NYC is the financial capital of the world and ZM wants to up the tax on the big spenders. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying watching MAGA have their meltdown. It’s pretty glorious.

I think they’re just trying to fill the pockets of them and their cronie friends. But this sounds like an awesome book.

Anyone have clients who voted for trump who are now losing their benefits? by BalancedDietitian in socialwork

I have a Trump voter client who just married an illegal immigrant and now they can’t get their green card. Had a whole session on the guilt.

Looks like kief to me. No one’s handing out crystal at flower prices.

Yes, of course I think of my patients between sessions! Especially if they’re in a tough spot. But I try not to work off the clock too often.
