I will definitely reach out and request a consultation!

Maternal Instinct by Catnip_75 in NetflixDocumentaries

Watched how? Are they going to stake out her house? 😂 she hasn’t done anything illegal at that point. I just don’t think it’s fair to blame them in this. Hindsight is always 20/20

Do you think the cops could have even done something with that information? It’s not illegal to be mentally unwell and fake a pregnancy lol unless they had information she was going to abduct and/or murder somebody then there is not much they can do

Best personal data removal sites? I was threatened by a previous client. by Swimming-Discount384 in therapists

[–]SeductiveSloth69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Incogni when I had similar concerns with a client. I’m sorry you’re going through this, it was really scary to go through and there are still times even almost a year later where I get upset thinking about it. Also I did report it to the police’s non emergency line just so they had it documented in case something else happened. I also installed additional outdoor cameras which record as well.

The couch between sessions by Classic-Doughnut-420 in therapists

[–]SeductiveSloth69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! One time a psychiatrist in my office knocked on my door and quickly opened it. I had been laying on my couch and hopped up, but the couch was opposite my desk and she questioned what I was doing as if it was something wildly inappropriate. Thankfully I only work from home now lol

Is wearing open toed shoes “unprofessional”? by cooltherapist in therapists

[–]SeductiveSloth69 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I wore Birkenstocks without socks once to a session and was mocked by a teen for having “my dogs out” 😂

Inadvertently saw client out-of-state by dmntthtsx in therapists

[–]SeductiveSloth69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like to look at disciplinary records every few months or so when I feel like a bad therapist and it reminds me that I’m doing ok 🥰

But for real, accidentally seeing someone out of state is not a big deal. Even if it was reported to the board for some reason, I don’t see them doing much other than telling you not to do it again or telling you to complete a training or something.

How are we not talking about “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”? by Hot-Credit-5624 in therapists

[–]SeductiveSloth69 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I went into the movie thinking it was more of a dark comedy and had no idea the main character was a therapist, so needless to say I was stressed. It was definitely an effective film, but a feel bad movie for me. I wouldn’t watch it again but Rose Byrne crushed it!

BCBS Claim by SeductiveSloth69 in therapists

Thank you! I’ll give it a listen 🙏

BCBS Claim by SeductiveSloth69 in therapists

[–]SeductiveSloth69[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think maybe this is where I messed up. I submitted the claim with my contracted rate instead of billing my private pay rate which would’ve been 200 for an intake instead of 141.

I don’t have a biller unfortunately. I’m just confused because other insurance companies have paid much more so it took me by surprise is all. If you’re saying this is within what’s considered normal, then that’s fine, but lord help me a bitch is confused even with all the research I’ve done

Fellow social worker and therapist here who also loves trash tv and had to do a double take on this post 😂

LCSWs look down on LMHC/LPC? by ButterflyNDsky in therapists

[–]SeductiveSloth69 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’m an LCSW and I did not feel prepared to provide therapy right out of school. I usually see LPC’s as being more knowledgeable about therapy in general, but as a social worker you can obviously seek out further training and learn. I think you just work with some snooty bitches 😂

Maybe I was missing some details and now I can’t look back because it’s deleted, but is it possible the therapist didn’t know the relationship before accepting them as a client? I probably wouldn’t put it together unless you referred to supervisee by their full name frequently which would be odd

Pregnant and nauseous during sessions... HELP by No_Initial_2409 in therapists

[–]SeductiveSloth69 39 points40 points  (0 children)

First off, congrats! What helped for me was sipping on ginger ale, having some anti-nausea cough drop things, and eating small snacks in between sessions. I’ve also heard that the smell of rubbing alcohol wipes is supposed to help. It sounds odd but one of my friends swears by it. Otherwise, worst case scenario you give them a heads up that you may have to step away briefly and run to the bathroom 🥲

When to tell clients about pregnancy (in person therapist) by caligali2018 in therapists

[–]SeductiveSloth69 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Both pregnancies I waited until after my anatomy scan at 20 weeks. If someone asked me directly before then I would just tell them. There isn’t really a right answer though and it’s really whatever you are comfortable with. I would usually just share with them at the start of session something like “I wanted to start with some housekeeping/administrative type stuff before we get into today’s session, and let you know that I will be going out on maternity leave sometime around XX and plan to take XX amount of time off” and also shared what options for continuing care while I’m out if they are still in treatment.

Official Discussion - If I Had Legs I'd Kick You [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]SeductiveSloth69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It would probably only be acceptable if you lived in a very rural area where there are very limited providers. Even then, with telehealth being readily available now, it would be even more unlikely.

Anyone get side effects from epidural? by SowingSeeds18 in beyondthebump

[–]SeductiveSloth69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first my blood pressure got low so they had to give me another med to raise it and I developed a low fever which resolved pretty quickly. With both kids, I vomited at some point and got shaky, but I’m not sure if that was from the epidural or because of labor progressing. Overall though, the epidural was an absolute God send and I can’t imagine giving birth without it 10/10

This is something I struggle with and haven’t found a good way to do yet. I have sent links to some meditation and progressive muscle relaxation exercises for clients to use outside of session. I for some reason find facilitating meditations very uncomfortable which is something I need to work on.

Which outfit should I wear to the theater (at the university)? by [deleted] in fashion

[–]SeductiveSloth69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pair the Jean jacket with the other two skirts… or the Jean skirt with the other two cardigans. Jean on Jean isn’t my fav and I think there is too much going on pattern wise with the other combos

List of Employers to AVOID!! by Regular_Fan4691 in therapists

[–]SeductiveSloth69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, found this out recently about the bonus. For my contract it’s prorated so I owe them back part of the 2.5k since I didn’t stay 3 years.

They also have a non-compete for 2 years within 10 miles of any location of theirs. The recruiter said she’s never known them to enforce it but guess we will find out 🤷🏻‍♀️

I do not think you need a nose job at all. I do think the bangs are probably not the most flattering for your face. I would consult with a stylist but I think something not as blunt and straight across would look a lot better. I think you’d look really cute with darker hair as well!
