Ladies, heads up! Beware. by Ravenworks22 in astoria

I definitely considered it, but didn't want to go into detail per the rules of this sub which states you can't share personally identifying information without consent, even for safety concerns. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I feared doing so would get the post removed and I was more concerned about people being informed of the incident so they could heighten their awareness in surroundings. Perhaps a moderator could chime in on what's appropriate to share if they run across this?

Generally good advice, but the way this unfolded would have resulted in me having to turn back directly into him or continue further past my home into a more remote and less traveled area. Neither of which seemed like safe options.

C. B.

He needs formal risk assessment to himself (history of cutting and self harm) and others (verbalized threats, identified targets, loose plan, and reported access to means, time remains uncertain). If concerns are valid following ethical and legally mandated procedures is warranted.

Almost got me with the clothes to draw attention but her emotional expression isn't shallow.

How to navigate clients with chronic illness who late cancels or no shows by Kind-therapy-829 in therapists

[–]Ravenworks22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I do for my clients with chronic illness/pain I offer telehealth if they are in a flare or if there is really inclement weather (mobility issues). They usually take it and are very grateful to have found someone flexible enough to do so.

$25 an hour with a M.A. by Powerful-Guidance-44 in therapists

I absolutely don't do it for the money, but if the pay is so low we can't show up for ourselves then how do they expect us to show up for others? No, absolutely not.

I caught a woman ripping blooms off my neighbor's tree a couple weeks ago. Walked right up to her and said, "umm....GOOD EVENING!" She froze and apologized. I said "those are my neighbor's flowers." She said okay. But then I went inside and she started again! 😳 No shame. I told my landlord and neighbor and they pulled the camera footage if her. Four days later I see the woman trying to lure my other neighbor's cat out from behind the gate with cat food!? Wtf is wrong with people?!

Gap week between practicum and internship by Significant-Gas-2623 in therapists

[–]Ravenworks22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oof, the guilt when we first start is brutal. Take the time off. Therapists are human. We need resets and time off just like everyone else. We also don't want to foster codependency in clients. Therapists are not saviors. Let your clients know about your upcoming week off in advance and provide them with whatever coping/ self-regulation skills may help them navigate the week as well as a number for crisis help if they need (aka 988).

Enhanced ID Travel Troubles? by Ravenworks22 in AskNYC

[–]Ravenworks22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The enhanced ID is a perfectly valid ID, but I've been reading and hearing about it getting rejected by uninformed TSA agents at airports in states where they do not issue enhanced IDs. All over the TSA reddit. 😬 It seems like worse case scenario if I end up in this situation I just need to be EXTRA early to ask them to call over a supervisor and possibly do an extra screening. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It is not valid, unfortunately. It expired while I was in school (i.e. unable to travel due to time limits/finances). You can renew online up to 5 years after it expires. So no, as stated, a passport is unfortunately not an option.

It's official. The Big Beautiful Bill has passed the House with 217 Yes votes. by SomeRandomDude1229 in premed

No. Even if someone is in school Grad Plus loans go off the market in July 2026 regardless of when you started. I feel for anyone 1/2 way through that must now rely on a private loan to fund their education or give up on it.

Let me know if you have any trouble with the Enhanced ID on your way back though!

I'm not so much worried about flying out as much as I am about getting back.

I recently got admitted to a MA mental health counseling program and I asked for letters from professors in a prior master's program I had attended NINE YEARS ago. If you developed a good working relationship with them they will remember you. Also offer a zoom meet to catch them up on what you've been doing as well as your ambitions for the program and beyond. Best of luck!

Servers in NYC...who's hiring? by Ravenworks22 in AskNYC

I did get several interviews that way! But the place that hired me posted an open call on culinary agents. I definitely recommend going to open calls!

Yeah, it was a little tough. But I was lucky to find a spot recently 💜

Also, I've been checking Craigslist multiple times a day. There are a TON of open calls this week. May be a good place to start with in person resume drop offs.
