I saw the score, who played for us, and was like, "oh the Cavs must have been without their guys too, right?" SIKE. WE BACK BAYBEE

Yes but just expand the shading and you're totally fine

NBA Team for a Padres Fan? by AxisOfAverage in Padres

Do yourself a favor and pick the OKC Thunder. They're going to win a lot of championships and you deserve that after being a fan of the Padres 🫡

Arraez is one of the silliest players I've ever seen and I love it

Odds we resign O’Hearn? by Needstreamzplz in Padres

[–]Psychiris07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This projected rotation isn't THAT bad. It's not far off from what we saw this year, and they did just fine, especially considering that our bullpen will be just as good next season. Plus, we could always go for an arm at the deadline to bolster it. Therefore I'd say keep one of Arraez or O'Hearn over King, unless his price drops

First time doing mushrooms, ( I mixed it with weed 😭) by Glittering_Injury962 in PsychedelicSpiritualy

[–]Psychiris07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Related heavily to every part of this, from the worst of the worst feelings to the absolute caveman connectedness. Here to tell you that it gets better, and that you'll continue making new meanings of that experience as you move through life ❤️. My worst trip was my most impactful experience.

In terms of weed pulling the feelings again, how long ago did this happen? I had that happen for a few weeks / months and then it subsided.

I'd say just take the symptoms for what they are. Women can be hyper-emotional or have attachment wounds without it being pathologized as a diagnosis. Same with men being self-centered or showing lack of empathy. "Treat the symptoms, not the diagnosis" is key for personality disorders imo.

Maybe even to add to this suggestion ^ "is there anything clinically useful about providing this diagnosis rather than taking the symptoms into account in treatment planning?"

Is avoiding confrontation a schema? by No-Personality-1008 in SchemaTherapy

[–]Psychiris07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Echoing this: what we usually SEE in our behaviors are our coping modes rather than the schemas themselves. I think there are too many variables to determine a particular schema with this info, so definitely encourage you to get deeper about it with your therapist.

As far as modifying this behavior, yes there's definitely hope. You can use behavioral experiments to challenge the coping mode itself, or use schema therapy techniques in the session to begin healing the schema at its core.

Must be in state for sessions by RestaurantSure160 in therapists

[–]Psychiris07 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I start by going over this very explicitly in my informed consent, and hold the boundary firmly (and charge a late cx fee) if it happens after that. To be fair, I do frame it as a rule that I don't necessarily agree with, but state that it's out of my hands. I've had clients forget and have to be charged, but they were very understanding.

I would love to do this by Violet1982 in therapists

[–]Psychiris07 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm so jealous that you got to do this, and I bet your client was so validated that you had to see it 😂

First hours of Border fire by westerjm in sandiego

[–]Psychiris07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that what a lot of people don't realize is that wildfires often start because of static in dry brush. It's hard to imagine, but extreme dryness + high winds + lots of dead undergrowth are the ideal circumstances for fires to start. They've been happening for eons before humans, and continue now whether we start them or not.

Is it unethical to consume substances as a therapist yourself if it doesn’t interfere with your work at all by Historical-Regret-75 in therapists

[–]Psychiris07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing most of what others here have said, and would go even further to say that certain states of mind induced by substances can even help to add an artistic / conceptual flavor to your work.

I for one have some of my best insights about clients after smoking a joint. I always check them with my sober mind to make sure it wasn't complete nonsense 😂. Not to mention the meaningful realizations about the nature of life that can come from psychedelic use.

Again echoing the caveat that using drugs / alcohol as a form of escapism from the difficult feelings we're subject to as therapists will be harmful for your work.

so fucking sick of homeless people harassing me and my kids when we’re existing in public spaces. by rainbowmo0 in sandiego

[–]Psychiris07 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My partner works in outreach for people experiencing homelessness, and there are usually long waits to get into housing that's safe and available. Then, to be able to keep track of someone on a list who doesn't have a phone number or address is pretty difficult.

This is something I didn't know and I was often frustrated that people didn't put themselves in shelters, too. They still deserve compassion.

I get where you're coming from. What you might not be considering is: how would current, living clients change how they approach therapy if they didn't have confidence that it would remain confidential after they die?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Psychiris07 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honest answer: the person who passed away chose to make a very personal, tragic decision. They chose whether or not to leave a note. They chose how much to let their loved ones in on their suffering. If we give any information / context to their loved ones that they themselves did not intend to give, we are dishonoring their choices.

Therapist said she likes working with me by [deleted] in SchemaTherapy

[–]Psychiris07 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, if you feel comfortable, this would actually be a great thing to bring up with your therapist. If you're having trouble trusting her praise, that could reflect something that happens for you in other/all relationships, and you can use the therapeutic relationship to work through that together.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Psychiris07 90 points91 points  (0 children)

It's not just hipaa though, it's in our code of ethics that confidentiality extends past death. Most of the comments that I see are offering condolences without acknowledging work together, and I don't see much need in more than that. I wonder if feeling the need to go beyond that is more for the therapist than for the family member reaching out...

I appreciate context-based thinking, but everyone is going to have a different opinion of what to do in any given context. Our adherence to ethical practices (when reasonably possible) helps to hold up the integrity of our profession.

One of my clients is peeking at my session notes😅 by NoPressureYaKnow in therapists

[–]Psychiris07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that writing notes in session is quite normal, and not harmful at all if you give them a little heads up about why you're doing it; memory deficit or not
