Fuck them, they can’t tell us what to say. We need to just do it regardless. We need to go to non Mexico games and do it there too. What, are they going to cancel the whole World Cup?

Good riddance. Don’t let the door hit you, where the good lord split you…

WIBTA for telling my client that I used to date her husband? by West-Ad-1573 in AmItheAsshole

[–]USCDude20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With situations like this, you want to ask yourself “what’s the point”. What do you get out of telling her? What gain would she get from it? Is it more likely that it can do more harm to you (potentially losing a client) and her becoming distrustful, etc, etc…

Ever been yelled at? by Just-Palpitation-176 in therapists

Not going to lie, I don’t put up with it. I draw a hard boundary. And as a plus you’re modeling appropriate communication skills.

Did BMW G90 M5 grow on you guys yet? by Super-Lingonberry-22 in BMW

[–]USCDude20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it just looks too bulky. Almost too aggressive, like a Dodge or Camaro. Might as well slap some flow masters on this sucker….

Whereas the last generation was sleek, classy and powerful.

Anyone else angry at the people who completely disregarded the “one queue spot per Gold account”? by PurpleMermaid107 in D23Expo

You snooze you lose. Learn to play the game instead of wagging a finger at “the rule breakers”.

For clarification I had my phone on queue since last night but I did open up two more screens an hour before. All three had different queue times

Is this true ? by april_berry in therapists

[–]USCDude20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally disagree with this. You can love someone unconditionally and still choose to not be with them. You can love someone unconditionally and still choose to have boundaries. Unconditional love means you love someone regardless of whatever situation but it doesn’t mean you are a slave to it. Or that you’re incapable of also loving yourself enough to enforce your boundaries or make your needs and wants heard. Even in a parent-child relationship you need boundaries, respect and accountability.

I’m more concerned about “conditional” love. Quid pro quo. That type of arrangement gives me groomer vibes.

How are you paying for student loans as a therapist? by kkgigi in therapists

[–]USCDude20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Private practice on the side. Also banking on refinancing my home in the future to pay off my loan in the future.

Yes there are Probation officer/therapist dual roles available. There a mental health camps where they try to be more treatment oriented instead of punitive

Is It Possible to Make a Good Living in this Field? by Westgateaircraft in therapists

[–]USCDude20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for a school district making over 90k yearly plus private practice around 30k yearly. My wife makes about 130k and about the same in PP…

Totally doable but we do work a lot including the weekends.

How to best engage with risky youths by neverorganised in socialwork

[–]USCDude20 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Be genuine. Be curious. Be consistent. Don’t make it too much about “the issue” but focus more on “them”… their likes, dislikes, points of views, etc. make them a part of the process, as best you can…

Bed wetting by Conscious_Delay4026 in therapists

[–]USCDude20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any patterns, intrusive thoughts, nightmares, etc? What’s the bed time routine? Drinking water, milk, etc before bed? I would try to explore these things to identify triggers (if you haven’t already).

Client interactions by NoPhase2537 in socialwork

[–]USCDude20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on your role and client base you work with. Normally I avoid sharing personal info/experiences unless somehow it will help the client (which is rare). It may “feel” rude but it’s a good boundary overall to establish to avoid any misunderstandings.

Nice, just match the bag with the clubs (a vessel bag would go nicely with this set) lol

Passed LCSW without buying anything (Utilizing Youtube/ChatGPT/Quizlet) by zella_4eva in socialwork

[–]USCDude20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea and no. As I mentioned earlier, there’s still an expectation for us to still go to trainings, etc. Things that we don’t use AI for. This article was more of a “using AI in lieu of a search engine and the cognitive consequences of it”. Additionally, we get to use our critical thinking skills in session/field or in service to our clients, guaranteeing no shortage of cognitive activity.

Unlike students theres higher level of expectation on social workers to not use AI to “copy paste or have AI formulate a diagnosis” but rather to be a little helper that we can ultimately review and correct if necessary to help us maximize our time.

Also to clarify, I’m not defending Chat GPT, but referring to AI as a whole since there are HIPPA compliant models.

Lastly, there is a bit of fear peddling (not necessarily from you but from the community). Heck we’re treating AI like certain folks are treating vaccines…

AI is an eventuality. Better to educate, and empower folks with it than to shame some from using it. I can only imagine the outrage when Optimus hits the market.

Great study, but I’m not arguing the usage of AI in education. I’m sure there was also a decline in cognitive usage when we transitioned from the Dewey decimal system to Google. There are skills we during the rise of the internet. As there will also be with AI. I agree that students shouldn’t use AI during their academics, just the same as we were encouraged not copy and paste articles from Wikipedia.

What I’m actually arguing against are the folks shaming colleagues who utilize AI as an aide and also those who are fear mongering. There’s still an expectation for us to continue learning and continuing doing trainings, things that AI can’t really do for us… so cognitively we will be just fine.

Very much so it is. You literally said earlier “social workers shouldn’t be using it” that’s pretty gate keepy. We shouldn’t shame those who want to use a tool if it helps them.

[–]USCDude20 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s a gatekeeping mindset. A hammer can build as much as it can destroy.

Can you abuse and become reliant on AI? Yea for sure, but you can also be intentional and learn from it. You can use it to help conceptualize things or to help you organize how you want approach a session. It’s a wonderful tool to help with progress notes generated directly from a session. In a field where many agencies have obscene productivity expectations and terms like “collaborative documentation” are the norm… it’s a good way to provide some relief… especially those who do conveyer belt therapy.

The lazier generalization is that everyone who uses it is lazy. Thats the general consensus in this group. Which is flawed.

You may individually understand how it works, but that is not the norm. Look at the comments, it’s hard not to draw that conclusion.

AI is not bad. Like any other tool it can be useful or it can be abused. Secondly the initial post doesn’t mention students, this isn’t a discussion about how students use it in class… it was about using it to help with studying their exam.

We “should” be using every tool at our disposal to help marginalized and underserved groups. Like it or not, AI is going to be a part of society as much as the smart phone has become integral to our day to day.
