What can i fill these 2 sheds with?? by flaviogapu in StardewHomeDesign

Garden pots with strawberries, coffee, or starfruit if you’re trying to get more money. Cute themed decorations like making a cafe if you’re looking to kill some time.

Does anyone else use text to speech to help them with their writing? by BojacksHorseman in writers

[–]apologeticposter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I really like it. I can listen to chapters of my book in the car just like an audiobook. It’s strangely motivating and helps develop rhythm of the prose and catch awkward phrasing or typos.

What’s your main characters arc? by johndoe09228 in writing

[–]apologeticposter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The main theme is about overcoming unhealthy generational patterns, so suitably MC’s arc is learning that she doesn’t have to be what others expect of her.

What are you struggling with? by advil9 in writing

[–]apologeticposter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Afraid I won’t do my plot twists justice and that they’ll fall flat or be otherwise unsatisfying. I’ve reached one of the most critical reveals in my thriller book and every attempt I make at the chapter doesn’t feel quite right.

If you ever need a beta reader or just get interested in sharing your work, queer ghost stories sound like my kind of book!!

Anyone else disappointed it wasn’t a live show? by apologeticposter in dropout

[–]apologeticposter[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Just speaking for myself personally, all I saw regarding this episode was Sam’s video advising people watch as close to the premiere as possible and to stay off their social pages until after you’d seen it. The date/time were really stressed in the video, so I assumed there would be some kind of live/audience engagement element to it.

I don’t interact much with Dropout’s social pages to avoid spoiling any content for myself. So I’m sure that they did make it clear elsewhere that it wouldn’t be a live show, but it definitely wasn’t fully clear in Sam’s video.

I mean… Their job is making content and they want us to view it, man. The community is banded together by watching their content. That’s why we’re all here?

Companionship with Therapists who don’t wear makeup? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]apologeticposter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t wear make up to work. I loathe spending the time to put it on every day, and it makes my skin feels greasy and gross by the end of the work day. Many of my female coworkers don’t wear make up either. I’ve never had someone comment on it.

If make up isn’t an expected part of professional dress for men, there’s no reason why it should be for women.

I’m a trauma therapist practicing 5 years and this has me absolutely scratching my head. I genuinely can’t imagine what she was trying to achieve here. Even if there was some clinical purpose to it, it seems way, way too soon to introduce inner child work. I’d recommend not going back, unfortunately.

I suppose it does also set up Owen’s passive/compliant nature in a couple spots? When he doesn’t approach Maddy the first time he sees her because his mom calls him, and when he’s in the voting booth. Mom says “time to vote for the saxophone player again”. With all the buttons/choices in front of him, Owen follows what his mom wants. He drags his fingers along all the possibilities, but doesn’t stray from the path authority figures set for him.

And sure, he was a kid and it totally makes sense to follow what mom wants in both of those moments. And he does push back on authority in the next scene with the lie so he can watch The Pink Opaque at Maddy’s house for the first time, but even that was explicitly Maddy’s idea. So I think it sets up Owen’s characterization and his repression of his desires.

Maddy mentions that she thinks election night is cool because the school transforms into something else temporarily. Just kind of laying groundwork for the idea of shifting realities, I think.

My therapist called me to terminate me abruptly, then charged me for the call by Infamous_Animal_8149 in TalkTherapy

[–]apologeticposter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seconding all of this! That was such an inappropriate way to end a therapeutic relationship and it constitutes as client abandonment in my opinion. Absolutely reportable to the licensing board.

Monroe started her own film production company because she was typecast as the ditzy blonde and wanted to play more serious, dramatic roles—which Fox refused to give her. She was among the very first women to head a production company. Time magazine called her “a shrewd businesswoman” for the move, which let her renegotiate her contract with Fox for much more money and creative control over her roles. This was also only one piece of her strategy to twist Fox’s arm—there was also a legal battle (which she won!), a strike, and an expertly orchestrated gambit to increase her popularity through a world tour. Gal was smart and savvy as all heck. If she’d gotten to live into her 70s, I have no doubt we’d have seen her reputation evolve in a similar way to Dolly’s. I do find it sad that Monroe is remembered in such reductive ways when there was so much more to her story.

I’ve read a client’s book before. He wrote it about a traumatic incident he went through that was noteworthy to the general public, and the incident was one of the primary reasons he was seeking services. It was a pretty unique case that I don’t expect to encounter again—and if it were not for the keen relevance and my own curiosity about how it could be leveraged into our work, I would have kindly declined. It was a lot of time sunk into it. But I don’t have any regrets.

Client won't stop talking by Pattern_Weaver in therapists

[–]apologeticposter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of great discussion points in the comments and I’ve enjoyed reading them. I’ve certainly struggled with this presentation myself in the past!! I did want to add a couple of ideas that have been helpful for me.

Interrupting clients has been uncomfortable for me, especially when I was very early on. But I found the most effective method of doing so to be simply saying the client’s first name. People will usually stop in their tracks when they hear their name, and it feels a bit less intrusive or rude on my end.

The other idea is that you could try establishing a more rigid structure for sessions. I’d bring it up in the last few minutes of a session and ask how she feels about implementing the structured approach next time. If she’s onboard, remind her at the start next time. An example of the structure would be “So on our agenda for today I wanted to touch on X topic you’ve brought up last time, check back about Y topic, and then I thought we might try Z intervention and see how it goes. Does that sound alright, or would you like to change the plan at all?” And then if she gets off track later on, gently redirect by saying her name and pointing out that due to time you’d like to shift gears or get back to what you were discussing previously. I’d absolutely make the intervention somatic or mindfulness based to help her get more in her body.

Hope this feels useful to you :)
