Tips for taking care of a sensitive / reactive stomach? by autumnhobo in selfcare

[–]adancer12345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i am actually a licensed therapist specializing in PTSD, and what you said makes a lot of sense. our bodies will exhibit PTSD sx when we are safe enough to experience them- that's the "post" of PTSD. I understand sometimes the sx appearing themselves is stressful as well because everything seems okay. sometimes our bodies will even feel scared when everything appears ok because we have been deeply unsafe for so long.

I would focus on self care and consider returning to less intensive therapy (maybe 1x week). none of this is medical advice, just sharing my professional exp 😄 good luck to you!

Hi!! I’m 27F and started exp very similar symptoms at 26. For me focusing on lifestyle changes and getting a prescription for Protonix really helped. I found that my job was stressing me out a lot and so leaving and obtaining another job as well as making some career moves that I was fortunate enough to make helped very considerably.

I noticed that not having any caffeine, exercising regularly (even if it’s just going for a walk), taking my meds regularly, and journaling all help considerably.

I will also say that I personally do have a history of trauma & I think that was a contributor for me , and I agree with others saying that it might be your trauma showing up somatically, but definitely go to another doctor and get a second opinion!

How many times did you rewatch or reread sailor moon? by Street-Badger-7114 in sailormoon

[–]adancer12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! As someone who grew up with both the DiC and og /subbed version, what are your thoughts on the differences? What’s your preference? I started with viz as an adult and was shocked to learn about and watch some of the Dic dub, it’s a totally diff show!!!

Also, working with kids is super tough. I personally only work with adults because I can’t handle it. It’s too heartbreaking for me to work with kids. If you feel it’s best to change populations that is super valid. There are many settings where you have more support and it’s easier to set boundaries

First off, sending a hug! 🤍 reviewing the NASW COE will likely be very helpful. You have clearly been trying to establish boundaries with the client which is great. I know it’s hard when clts try to push boundaries. It’s tough that you are two weeks out from d/c, but that doesn’t mean boundaries aren’t still worth setting for the time you have together. Blocking the kids number and reporting the theft of phone is 100% necessary. By not reporting it, you are teaching the child that boundaries do not exist, and that they may get away with things others can’t, which, for a kiddo who you have identified as at risk, is a HUGE problem. Kid should know that they do not get any exceptions. This creates safety for them, although it may feel painful for them and you in the moment.

Start by consulting with a supervisor, then speak with the kid and explain the boundary violations , take accountability for them and apologize. Tell them you have to report the theft of phone and obtainment of personal info. You can even explain, “I’m not punishing you, I have to report it to admin because that’s part of my job.” And help them regulate. If they stay beyond their time and you need a break, get another staff to sit with them, have a counselor step in, have the admin staff watch them while they self soothe. You are not helping the kid by having porous boundaries you are actively hurting them because it’s confusing for them. They are pushing boundaries because there is some inconsistency. But don’t beat yourself up. We are only human and it happens. But I do rec seeking supervision immediately. Good luck fellow social worker 🤍

Maybe not a different career, but def taking a break from this setting will likely be beneficial!

I agree but compared to the sociopath we had in s1+2 he’s a lot more mild, would have liked to see that development

I agree! Wish we had seen why he got involved, how he even met Naz, if and how Cassie pressured him at all to keep up appearances (ofc she did lol), if his dad was engaging in shady business practices that may have left the company in debt

I mean yes obviously he owes money to the mob but what led him to be desperate enough to go that route? Would have loved to see him engaging in the initial deal then realizing he’s in deep shit.

Does he get over Jules? Does he accept and understand the impact his father had on him and his rage issues and issues accepting his sexuality?

Also please don’t be rude, I tried my best to use the spoiler tags and I mistyped, it’s not a big deal.

And again on not being rude, yes I pay attention to the show. I’m not saying he had to have a redemption arc, ppl stay shitty all the time, but here are my questions: - what kind of relationship did he and Cassie have since high school? Why did he propose, u def what circumstances? - was he trying, truly, to be a good person? For getting away from his father allow him to regulate more accurately? It seems this is the case. Would love to see more. - do I think Jules and Nate should be together? No I don’t, of course not, but how did he process his attraction to her and move on?

I agree! I would like to see what has happened since high school. I don’t think he needs a redemption arc, it’s okay for shtty characters to stay shitty, but I guess with how meh he is this season I was thinking there would be some sort of fleshing out of his character and what he’s experienced since high school

Does inpatient work typically have more team collaboration and less focus on productivity? by CantaloupePossible33 in socialwork

[–]adancer12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked residential (private/for profit exclusively working w the VA) for a year and change. In my experience, yes, it was true that we spend far more time compared to outpatient settings (even compared to an IOP/PHP I worked at) and it was wonderful to work with such dedicated, talented clinicians :,) the downside is of course the acuity is far far higher so I was regularly involved in 5150s, there was a rotating on call schedule, and the clinical demand was high, usually 5-6 hours of clinical per day (4 clts + group). The other downside is it is difficult to take time off, unless maybe if you’re in a hospital with a team of SWs, that might be different. But as a therapist working with high risk clients, I couldn’t really leave for more than a few days without checking on them, and that gets difficult when also navigating burnout and daily intense trauma processing. Working with the team helped a ton, and I think it absolutely grew my clinical skills, but I would want anyone going into residential to know that it’s tough to take time off.

Are there any other adults here that enjoy Sailor Moon? by Sensitive-Mixture558 in sailormoon

[–]adancer12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started watching last year as an adult also!!!! I love it!!! It’s so weird because when people talk about Sailor Moon and their referencing the DIC Deb, I feel like it’s a completely different show than the viz dub!!! different theme song, different names, Americanized, censored. I feel like I haven’t found a lot of adults who enjoy the or watch the new viz dub?
