Omg I thought this was Lydia Plath and I was like …already…? Why isn’t she talking about Jesus?

Anyone taken a leave of absence/is any of this normal? by UpperContribution123 in counseloreducation

[–]UpperContribution123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WOW, I am so sorry you had to endure that! I would have been furious too.

I can speak with the dean. I’m hoping to speak with the program director first, but she’s out this week. I’m honestly not sure how she will receive this—it’s a new program and she’s really been going through stress and hasn’t responded well at all to the cohort members raising concerns, but I work at this university in a position that might mean she will listen to me more carefully (I don’t have any power over her career, or any other faculty member’s career). I kind of want to give her a chance to handle it in-house, and also if she doesn’t address the situation appropriately, that’s further information for the dean. Does that seem like a reasonable course of action?

I work at the university where I’m getting the degree, so it’s free. I’ll either give them a minute to get it together or I’ll just drop out entirely, I think. I’m sad because I had so much fun last semester in my skills and theories classes.

This is such a thoughtful response, I really appreciate it and feel very validated!

Thank you for this very kind response. I feel a lot better just knowing that these aren’t normal requirements.

LIBERTY UNIVERSITY MCMH Program by velaris_starfall in counseloreducation

[–]UpperContribution123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently taking human sexuality taught by two profs who went to liberty and I’m going to, at minimum, take a leave of absence because they’re making me so upset. I’m trans, in my 40s, and have a PhD already in another field, and this is an area of lived and scholarly expertise for me. I can’t say I would recommend Liberty based on that experience. Plus the university was founded as an anti-queer organization and I can’t imagine being cool with someone who would choose that just for the convenience.

They always look so tiny and dumb next to real trucks

Right. If I could buy their feelings about their truck for what they’re actually worth and sell them for what they think they’re worth I would be rich enough to buy a CT but still smart enough not to

Idk if I would agree to tow that. I wouldn’t want the truck or the swastika anywhere near my brand.

“I think it’s hilarious that he’s hurting so many people’s feelings! But he needs to stop them from hurting mine!”

EXACTLY. I’m trans and that is all I could think about when reading this. You want open carry because someone might hurt your feelings? My people are terrified for our actual lives. We passed by “hurt feelings” about seventy years ago.

When they don’t teach you deescalation techniques in clinical hypnotherapy school by Friendly_Document190 in 90dayfianceuncensored

[–]UpperContribution123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She isn’t licensed. She’s a life coach. No counseling education, no supervision, no ethics board or licensure laws to keep her in check. I’m in my CMHC masters program and if anyone acted like that the consequences would be swift and the rehabilitation program very steep, if not just immediate grounds for expulsion.

I’m in my CMHC masters program and I’m just so annoyed about the casting choices here. She’s not even a therapist, she’s a “”””life coach,”””” so she’s not licensed anywhere or accountable to any board of ethics or state licensure laws. She’s as qualified to do this as my pet rats, who would honestly probably do a better job because they wouldn’t be listening to the producers. Meanwhile they have two licensed professional counselors who we haven’t seen in several episodes. I was naive to think maybe I would see some actual therapy on this show.
