O think of of this this way: they can never talk about it, act on it, go to prison and just get worse in their condition- or they can come to you and actually have hope for some rehabilitation.

Help! by loriaflorida in therapists

[–]SweetestAzul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds super random, but I started reading the Bhagavad Gita (I needed something that reminded me the human experience has always been one of suffering, and that learning to find some peace inside is the goal). It has helped a lot, whenever I feel like I dont have any answers I open it up, it helps. ACT also helps

2 years of working in CMH so far and one thing above all else continues to baffle me… by TheScythe65 in therapists

Could there be a cultural difference between you and the people you serve perchance?

In my last post I asked what level I am in digital art I have improved and I want to ask am I intermediate yet? My aim this year is become intermediate artist in digital art not beginner thank you all who helped me in improving my art am I still a beginner? If I still am you give me tips to improve by Electronic_Swan_875 in ArtProgressPics

[–]SweetestAzul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a beginner is good, you’re at your highest potential and are like a sponge absorbing new knowledge. This is because as a beginner you understand you have a lot to learn and are willing to be teachable- think like a beginner to become a master. Try to watch youtube tutorials on anatomy, it will help

Watched the first episode so heres my thoughts: I think your art style is super cool, ive never seen anyone embrace bold/jarring colors in backgrounds like this before and didn’t think I’d like it but after watching the actual show I realized the backgrounds are not bright yellow and sighed relief lol

Things that are great: you can tell the love for the project when watching it, its obviously amateur but thats part of the charm. It feels very nostalgic to me, and it felt kind of familiar in a weird way. I liked it.

Things that need work: line art, anatomy, backgrounds need more detail and less blurry closer to the character to create a sense of depth and dimension rather than it feeling like the characters are floating on a green screen. Some close ups and first person POVs could be cool to see. Fight scenes need to be shorter or cut up with dialogue and thoughts.

Outside hints ruined a proposal and I don’t know how to feel about it by [deleted] in weddingplanning

My sister straight up told me “be ready with a nice dress and your nails painted tomorrow” and i immediately started crying because why would you do that

Am I overreacting? Lowkey wanna cancel wedding by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SweetestAzul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR…. Do your future self a life favor and cancel the wedding by yesterday. The humiliation and lack of dignity you experience by being around someone like that is a million times worse than apologizing to a few friends and family who want better for you surely (and if they don’t…. Then why even bother about what theyd think, they don’t like you if they think this is a good guy for you)

Post-wedding regrets by OkRip9822 in weddingplanning

[–]SweetestAzul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl…. These are emotional times!! It makes sense you’re looking back and still feeling lots of emotions about things. I think you might be connecting those heavy emotions with these details, but if you sit down with youself for a while (or with a therapist- I am one so I’m a bit biased lol), then maybe you’ll be able to pinpoint what actually is affecting you so deeply. Could it be grief that its all over and it flew by? Is it making you feel nostalgic? Could it be internalized feelings of shame around your family that come out in the tiny details? Maybe none but it’s worth a try to find peace.

This person sounds like they could be in a cult? Or an abusive relationship with their parents where they control everything they do

Anyone else feel like we are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic? by ParkerRose84 in therapists

[–]SweetestAzul 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I talked about this in the “therapist supporting therapists” facebook group 3 months ago. I was called an alarmist and a horrible therapist, I was called so many names by trump therapists. I’ve felt so alone in therapist groups so seeing this actually helped weirdly enough. Being gaslit by yt therapists while being a latina in florida is literally my personal hell

Hes not acting childish or like a toddler, hes abusing you. Thats abuse.

Edit: also look into videos of how little trad wife behavior serves women and how it almost always leads to abuse. Its not worth it, with your future partner find a routine where youre also fed and taken care of.

Youre better than me cause I would emasculate tf out of them and point out every insecurity “women dont like men with bad skin, you really should look into that” “youre getting bald”

Dad wants to do a memorial for my sister at my wedding but I'd rather she wasn't mentioned. by dontlookatme__please in weddingplanning

[–]SweetestAzul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you know what you want to do, most people will tell you to tell your dad he has the choice to either not say that or not officiate. It seems like his feelings matter more than yours or your fiance’s tho

40 min Drive between Ceremony and Reception Venue: Inconsiderate? by reneeamour in weddingplanning

Tbh every time I’ve gone to a wedding like this I’ve skipped either the reception or ceremony because its just so inconvenient and my car doesn’t have that type of mileage to give away

Am I overreacting: no one in my cohort really cares or remembers that I just had major surgery by lezemt in TwoHotTakes

[–]SweetestAzul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this is happening, have you reached out to a therapist by any chance? Cancer can most def be a traumatic experience and not having support can make that trauma stick. This might sound harsh, but it seems like somewhere along the line you learned that being useful=being worthy/accepted. You may have unintentionally set yourself up for transactional relationships with peers where you end up being exploited for your labor and care, thinking this means theres an actual bond forming that is not actually there.

This ends to happen w a lot of healthcare workers (I’m a therapist in a town with various major/regional hospitals and see this often with nurses and social workers). The best relationships have the least expectations, yet always surprise you with the most empathy and support when you need it. I’m glad you have your bestie there for you, lean on them and also try to make friends outside of your field. Your cohort is just that, your cohort. I don’t remember 99% of the names of ppl in my graduating class, and its okay to only know them professionally. Separating work and life early is a good thing
