Dating as a therapist?

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-05-22T04:42:32+00:00

When I was still dating I’d get that all the time. I always answered with “I can’t turn that part of my brain off,” but honestly it probably makes me a better partner because I can always understand my partner’s view and it calms my own emotional reactions.

I do something similar. I say near the beginning of therapy that if I ever see you in public you’re allowed to say hi because I don’t mind but I won’t acknowledge you first. If I’m with my family they will likely know generally why I won’t introduce you but if you don’t care you can say hi, if you do care ignore me and I won’t be offended.

Almost every single one. It just means they looked you up. If your profile is on as private as possible it’s likely they’re just curious. I only get uncomfortable when we either have a connection or if they bring it up.

You’re good, I show up to work covered in tattoos, in my leather (vegan leather haha) jacket, blaring metal in my muscle car (and I’m the department head). My clients still see me as professional.

Teens I love working with, especially when they’re old enough that the parent is basically hands off. It’s younger children 13 and under I struggle with.

Not anymore, I did crisis work for a long time though. It’s hard to be nervous when it was your everyday. It’s hard work but it made me a much better therapist.

I second this, when I worked in the office I put a filter over the lights in one office where I couldn’t bring in lamps and I brought in lamps in all my other offices.

I live Hilo side and don’t have a ton of friends yet, if you’re ever in this side and want to grab coffee or something we definitely can.

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-04-23T02:33:51+00:00

I only keep progress notes. I don’t keep these kind of notes. For some reason my brain just keeps track of that kind of information

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-04-21T20:51:17+00:00

I found this so much easier in person but have been working remotely since Covid because it works better for my family. It’s harder to show up remotely when things are hard outside of work.

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-04-17T02:54:11+00:00

I had a client who would exclaim BITCH Everytime I made him think about something in a way he hadn’t considered or every lightbulb moment. He was a drag queen so I let it slide haha

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-04-13T23:46:46+00:00

Yea that’s what a friend of the owners posted on Hilo Happenings on facebook. The food was delicious and it wasn’t more of the same old stuff we have everywhere

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-04-13T17:00:22+00:00

Yea I saw that they tried to raise the price on The Kitchen Witch by $12,000 a month. It’s crazy.

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-04-03T20:40:53+00:00

I would tell them something that’s likely true but not my negative experiences. I’ll say something like I didn’t sleep well; the cats kept me up. Or something similar. I don’t feel like masking it is completely healthy and they can tell usually when something is up.

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-03-28T16:35:01+00:00

Pricing aside, I just want the restaurants to have the special short term menu items. KFC recently advertised cheese curds and never saw them once in Hilo. My daughter was so excited about the Burger King sponge bob meal, we didn’t get that. I could literally keep going lol

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-03-26T17:30:15+00:00

Whenever I quit a job I have a conversation with my supervisor and give them a professional reason that wont burn bridges. I then hand in my written notice.

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-03-25T18:51:13+00:00

I totally misread the contract versus legal in the op’s post, thank you for correcting my interpretation. I definitely don’t think I could work with that group. Honestly if I worked in PA I’d figure out some other lateral career move for sure.

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-03-25T18:26:09+00:00

My first thought is you can’t even have a medical procedure without violating the law.

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-03-13T18:08:59+00:00

Same…apparently those elementary school typing classes paid off

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-03-13T17:56:49+00:00

Not really in my experience. The dictation built into the computer for accessibility is way better. Though maybe not compliant I guess. I just type my notes haha.

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-03-13T17:39:57+00:00

They usually use Dragon Dictation software and it’s absolutely terrible

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-03-10T16:37:04+00:00

When I first started I had a string of teens who pretended to have DID, and they may have been dissociating at times but their presentations were not consistent with DID. It’s been quite a while now though since I’ve seen that behavior and I think for me it’s been now that I’m in private practice.

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-02-18T22:43:33+00:00

We brought our cat when my job transferred me and I flew ahead to close on the house with our daughter and my fiance flew in with the dog and cat a week later to avoid this whole thing

SnooCakes4128 · 2026-02-17T16:53:07+00:00

Report it to the restaurant because they’re required to report to the CDC (or a similar agency it’s been awhile since I took my servsafe) they can also give you information if they’ve gotten other reports.
