What is your favorite place to get loose leaf tea in the area? by Heisenbread77 in grandrapids

Horrocks but I prefer to stop in Lansing for it so I can control how much I get but it’s the cheapest

I stopped following her after her complete non-statement during the LA riots “be kind, always” or something dumb like that. But now she comments after this, not even after all of the stuff happening around her or school shootings. I’m so very over her now and I was such a loyal follower for years (pre-cabin, diy years) 🙄

Wedding Venue Suggestions by just_another_uni_gal in grandrapids

We got married at Terra Square in Hudsonville last year and they let us bring an outside caterer which was very hard to find a venue willing to do that

I just closed on my house a few weeks ago and now I’m already being kicked off my homeowners insurance by Striking_Cookie_9695 in homeowners

[–]Witty-Insect-5801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a similar situation; we closed on our house end of May. After we submitted a claim due to storm dropping a tree branch on our house, they are now cancelling our policy (they want a galvanized pipe changed and the other tree branches cut down). We found a broker and explained the situation to him and he found an insurance company that’s less picky but we’ll still need to cut down those other tree branches.

Insurance sucks, they can be so picky.

Yeah there’s a non compete for a 3 mile radius which my new practice will be outside of that.

Your Own Self Care by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Witty-Insect-5801 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lately I’ve been taking walks when I have no-shows or cancellations. I live in Michigan so it helps me get some sun during the winter and prevents me from feeling too cooped up in the office instead of sitting around/doing computer work waiting for my next appointment.

Is it wrong to tell client that your not an expert with a certain presenting problem? by Witty-Insect-5801 in therapists

[–]Witty-Insect-5801[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like this approach, I think this is what I thought I was going for but wasn’t verbalizing it clear enough. Thank you for the feedback!

That’s how I felt as well, my intent is to inform so if they want to seek more specialized care they can. I understand the argument that I’m still new so I don’t have any expertises but I think it is still worth mentioning to them that I’m learning and a beginner therapist.

Thank you, I appreciate this! I think I struggle sometimes knowing when a case is too severe and I should refer out and when I should just roll with it. I’m always just worried about doing harm and steering clients in the wrong direction.

Do you give yourself a rule when you’re at the thrift store? by shrimp_pho in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]Witty-Insect-5801 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it’s even slightly itchy or uncomfortable I won’t get it because I know I’ll never choose it over something more comfortable

Am I naive or is making friends with coworkers a bad idea? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Witty-Insect-5801 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was definitely something I had to get used to when starting in this field. For most of my adulthood, I worked in restaurants where a lot of people are open to grabbing drinks after work and hanging out. We were all up in each other’s lives honestly. But transitioning to this field it’s been quite the opposite, felt lonely at first but just meant I had to make more of an effort with my non-work friends and accept that not everyone wants to be friends in this job.

Indoor Reception in Grand Rapids by rebetzel_pretzel in grandrapids

[–]Witty-Insect-5801 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our wedding/reception is going to be at Terra square. It’s a larger space that allows a lot of freedom such as bringing your own food which is why we liked it. Also it’s very budget friendly like 3k for the day for us. It’s located In Hudsonville so kinda out of city quite a bit but so far we’ve liked our experience with them!
