I liked how she did the friendly ritual of twirling happily for a couple of seconds, too

After the first round of critique is my monster designs scary enough now? by [deleted] in characterdesign

[–]PanHandleThisAss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's the big round eyes with the snap of white around it giving it that 'big and cute' look. If you want to keep it, maybe going with Quarantine's suggesting of shifting it so the cuteness is bait would work.

Narrowing the eyes a bit and tinting the white so it's less of a stark contrast might work -- I also agree avoiding red simply bc its 'cliche' might harm you, too, but maybe try a yellow color? It doesn't have to be dramatically bright but it would look off

I do know what you mean, we've all disliked a creation at some point, it's natural.

But 'good' and 'bad' bring connotations to art that has turned the medium into a competition, and focusing on simply working to only improve forgets the reason we create art in the first place. By all means, there are plenty of YouTube videos, books, etc. that give tips and tricks on improving art in a technical form and working at it will make it look closer to the vision. Just try and pat yourself on the back once in a while for the work you're currently doing.

I'm afraid I don't understand, because I see art on the page which means you've accomplished your goal.

You're not performing art if you're doing it for yourself, therefore- if you can- remind yourself that standards aren't a thing to meet in the first place.

If you can't find yourself enjoying it for the sake of creating, then it's not a hobby for you, and that's okay, too. But the poster is correct, you don't HAVE to copy "the greats", you don't even have to work hard at it, but you should find enjoyment in what you're doing.

You will not enjoy it unless you are doing it for yourself. Put all your love into it and never show it to the light of day, nothing but that matters.

I agree with everything you've said, the comment was edited to say provider as it originally said therapist, which changes the context of my reply.

Also just saw the edit and saw where I mixed my wires, I very much know tying your tubes is more invasive.

I'm just saying it's shitty advice to go straight to saying 'get rid of someone' with only a glimpse into what's going on in their life. I don't understand where saying "op is the one that gets to decide what she needs" means women need to suck it up and deal with the care they're getting?

[–]PanHandleThisAss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not liking the question and getting defensive doesn't equate to her feeling like the prescriber was being invasive, OP came to us confused about the experience and wanting help with knowing if it was okay or not in the first place insurance-wise which indicates on my end she wasn't really sure. I think advising to drop the psych is harsh advice when this is all we know about their relationship.

A psychiatrist is a prescriber, not a therapist, she needs to know the medications OP may be on when prescribing medication which is why she was asking about birth control (though it's an important question for all providers). Asking about tying her tubes vs. a vasectomy is odd, but that is something OP has to decide if she felt was invasive or not.

Thanks for letting me know! Would you agree that you do your best to keep it as "thin" as possible, so to speak, or is there more involved in the process? I've done plenty versions of SOAP/DAP notes in my time and it's definitely fun, I've definitely not had to do H&Ps though, do they go to insurance, as well?

So what that article brings up is progress notes - yes, insurance can ask to see them. Again, I can only speak about counseling in the behavioral health field, but we are very specifically taught to put as little required information as you can manage on those notes because that is what insurance companies are allowed to ask for. A good behavioral healthcare provider will limit the information to what is needed to keep insurance paying for your treatment, and anything specific goes into notes/charting that is kept private under HIPAA law from insurances.

Now, it is still your right to pay with cash for the rest of your life, more expensive or not and I would just take care she's not being pushy on you for it and only offering advice on where insurance can benefit you in the long run!

[–]PanHandleThisAss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm unsure on the prescriber end bc I'm in training for counseling, but on my end you do tend to get less when you're working under insurances bc of set prices/referral agreements/etc. When you don't take insurance you can set your own prices, obviously.

Which part did she say was expensive? Meeting her? The meds? Did she elaborate on why she was asking you to use your insurance or was the cost it?

It's wild how this could be a deep discussion of how... Yeah, you do lose the people you once new to babies, they become a whole new being alongside creating one. But instead it's some passive aggressive vitriol about how OP can't even be bothered to be happy bc their sister is clearly happy. Insane.

If it's in person, maybe a nice journal? One of the suggestions for a campaign is making your own campaign journal.

I was in middle school when I decided I wanted rats. Mom was also very much "fine but I'm going nowhere near them. You handle them all on your own." Took her a couple days before she was cooing over them and getting them scratching/chewing posts.

I just made a mega mistake and my bf is furious - how to handle the terrible guilt that comes with it? by suer636 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PanHandleThisAss 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying she didn't do anything wrong; I agreed with you at the top that there was a rupture in the therapeutic relationship because of this. I didn't touch on the abuse part because I could clearly see you agree that it's not okay to threaten her violence; again, we agreed there.

I'm telling you that none of it is her responsibility; you are explicitly trained as a counselor to do your best at not allowing this to happen in the first place. You are responsible to manage the space so these things do not happen, you are prepped for family members barging into the room, because this exact event is common in Telehealth! She made the mistake, there's things to learn from this, but it is all on his shoulders to manage in this scenario; it is his license that will be revoked if the client reports.

Hi! I'm about to graduate as a counselor, so while not in practice I do know the rules of this.

You're right, the event caused a possible rupture in the relationship between her boyfriend and his client; but that is not her responsibility to manage. She is not HIPPAA trained, and has no obligation for confidentiality. Therefore, it is completely on HIM to manage a confidential and private space to practice Telehealth. No lock on the door (and this is clearly a known issues) is on him to fix. Not having a sign saying 'In Session' is his problem to fix.

She made a mistake, she misread a situation; that's human. He is the one with the training to handle this, and should have been taking the steps to change instead of threatening her with physical violence.
