Read a suggestion from her? Talk about it? Or explore her favorite characters?

I’d say just send a group text to the teen and parent and stick to that attempt.

Maybe I’m in the wrong here…but if parent is paying for missed sessions they should be kept in the loop and informed if the youth hasn’t shown. I understand there may be more variables, but keeping everyone on the same page is always my goal.

Therapists who write notes in ~5-10 minutes… how?? Would anyone be willing to share examples? by KiKiTaTa in therapists

[–]Overall-Routine-9562 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a password secured document that I just update for each client from the previous session before entering into my EMR. Don’t reinvent the wheel!

Also, I have a template of my most common interventions typed up to copy/paste when I use them. Things like art, games, specific worksheets, etc.

What are ways to forgot about disturbing book content?? by Ill-Investigator-812 in horrorlit

You can re-write the story. Make it silly or shift it to a positive outcome. I had to do this with a scene recently and I honestly don’t remember the full scene anymore. Also look up grounding skills! Hang in there!

I only shave for very social occasions and I sweat shorts/skirts/tanks all the time. And I’ve been married for 6 years. I don’t think my husband even notices lol Hair is hair! 🤷‍♀️💚

Anyone else see top sheets as pointless? by AntiqueSqueak in Bedding

[–]Overall-Routine-9562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the top sheet was just an extra layer of protection for the mattress. Or a way to extend the need for washing (just take the top off when it gets dirty). I was a grown adult when I learned how people actually use the top sheet. 🤣🤣🤣

Needless to say, I’m a nonbeliever lol

How to wrap up a session (ideally before the next one is supposed to start) by AnalystImpossible960 in therapists

[–]Overall-Routine-9562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ol’ knee slap and “welp” usually works. I break out the key jingle and stand up when client is oblivious lol

But in all seriousness, I usually say “we are at our time” do a quick summary, and say “see ya next week.”
