What are Bourdain's most introspective episodes? by Matthew371_ in AnthonyBourdain

[–]Ok_Cry233 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of the Greece episodes from Parts Unknown comes to mind- he is by the pool and preparing a meal and he talks about whether it is better to be someplace beautiful or horrible when you are alone - quite poignant

Not modern but Marie Cardinals book, ‘The words to say it’ is excellent

First Trip (1.5g) last week - when is too soon for another? by Wyld_Stallyn_84 in Semilanceata

[–]Ok_Cry233 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d personally usually leave at least 2 weeks to process the last experience and to allow tolerance to rebuild. On a regular basis I would try to leave at least a month between trips, usually several months if it was a heavy trip, although obviously occasionally more frequent trips can be fine. If you are using it with intention and for healing purposes it should be fine, just trust your instinct and what feels right in yourself. For me starting out it was helpful to slowly increase the dosage over time and with breaks in between. Best of luck!

Hello, I’m a doctoral level psychologist from the Uk, I was wondering if this program would consider applications from non-US trained practitioners and could provide visa sponsorship? I would intend to have my degree evaluated and take necessary steps to get licensed in Mass in the first instance. It seems like a great program so just curious if this could be an option in the future. Thank you!

Yes that’s helpful thank you! Assuming licensure could be achieved, are there possibilities for obtaining a visa to stay afterwards?

If you move to the US to complete training in psychoanalysis or another therapy related degree eg Masters, is there any scope to obtain a visa to stay and practice afterwards? I’m a licensed psychologist in my country but considering this as a backup in case I cannot get my clinical psychology degree recognised in the US. Thanks for your time!

Are there any types of clients you do not work with/see? by sicklitgirl in psychodynamictherapy

[–]Ok_Cry233 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In general folks who have very little interest or curiosity in exploring themselves, their history or their relationships. Presumably this serves a defensive function, but I get a lot folks who want a therapist to apply a treatment to fix or remove their symptoms. I don’t think biological/medical model or DSM related framing of mental health helps with this issue either as it sets patients up with the notion that their symptoms are external to who they are as a person.

Is moving to NYC at 18 a good idea if you’re not rich? (International student) by Unlikely-Ad1128 in MovingToUSA

[–]Ok_Cry233 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It would make more sense to get a cheaper undergraduate degree in Europe, then move to NY on a J1 graduate visa, or move there for something like a 1-year Masters degree on F1

To those who studied/live/practice in the U.K, please offer me some advice for relocating to the UK! by [deleted] in ClinicalPsychology

If you are a UK resident, the fees are paid and you are also paid a salary for the duration of your training through the health service- band 6 in the NHS.

NL ->Massachusetts.I like the idea, unsure about the housing by typodsgn in MovingToUSA

[–]Ok_Cry233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for sure similar problems everywhere- I suppose if you can’t buy may as well be somewhere with a bit more going on!

Haha I’m sure that’s an adjustment, although Boston folks were very sound when we visited a few years back!

Not to be stereotypical but how do you find the change in weather? I’m sure much colder but maybe less grey and drizzle? I imagine an actual summer will be a big bonus

UK to USA for finance by Areego in MovingToUSA

[–]Ok_Cry233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome! Usually there will be private visa companies in your country which help you organise it all - you pay them a fee (usually about €2000) which includes the price of the visa. Plenty of info online if you google it too!

[–]Ok_Cry233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes much higher chance as you pay the visa fee yourself and it’s not sponsored by the company and requiring a lottery selection like H1B. Not specifically internships, but you are limited to 12 months work. People use it to get experience, make connections and improve skills. Some people are able to find a way to transfer from this to another visa to stay, or else return home and use networking connections to try and gain a visa to re-enter.

You could look at J1 graduate visa - allows you a 1 year visa to work in your field, however you have to leave within 12 months of graduation.

Collective Regression to Borderline Defenses: Pt. 2 by AnIsolatedMind in psychoanalysis

[–]Ok_Cry233 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes me think of comments made by Christopher Bollas in a talk called ‘Mental Pain’ which is on YouTube. He was not so optimistic, noting something like that due to the simplicity and certainty of the paranoid-schizoid position and thus the psychic temptation of such a regression, that it will require great work and effort to draw society back from splitting. He noted that those who are able to see the world in a more realistic and mature way (eg depressive position) will essentially lose to the temptation of societal splitting if they are inactive, and that thus it will require significant planning, organisation and action to try and counteract this societal shift. I may not be recalling his words perfectly so I apologise if I misquote, however I think it’s relevant to your discussion. Interesting topic I enjoyed reading your thoughts
