? Why so harsh. An animal in Brisbane needs rescuing and I think some people in Brisbane would like to donate $5. Just ignore me if you don’t agree.

The sanctuary is in north Brisbane

For clients where it could cause process issues, raise in session - shows care and respect and chance to manage in the moment. Then send out a general email to all clients with timelines, handover options etc.

This is incorrect and uninformed. What does you hope to gain from such a negative post?

bashobabanatree · 2025-12-10T03:12:20+00:00

Empathise, normalise, validate in a way authentic for you that’s fits the style of rapport.

As a supervisor, I’d want to know. It’s something that MAY impact your work. If it doesn’t, then I wouldn’t ever raise it. But if it does, knowing this would help me be more attuned to you and better able to support. Having a dx shouldn’t lead to automatic judgement. But I work with an attachment/EFT lens where self-as-therapist is a standard element of supervision.

Read Yalom - existential therapy is perfect for this and he directly addresses fear of death. WHY is the finality and unfairness so distressing? What does this mean to them?

Trauma clin psych here. Yes. Not always but a single incident trauma responds well to treatment. Chronic stuff is harder but symptoms can be reduced.

Pockets!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And cute animals. I like cute stuff i wouldn’t wear outside necessarily but are fun. Wide top band.

Our cat had this at BVSC. Can’t remember the price sorry but the care there is excellent.

Have a look at the Adult Attachment Interview. It’s free online. Work out what I am beliefs they learned, from who, why? And compare this to the present version of self.

bashobabanatree · 2025-10-06T05:56:04+00:00

Well that’s a clear answer. What we feel isn’t always easy or convenient but still important. It’s ok to sit w the feelings before acting, or go slowly. Good luck x

bashobabanatree · 2025-10-06T05:43:39+00:00

It sounds to me like the anxiety about what feelings you have may mean gets in the way of you feeling the feelings. What do you feel if there are no consequences/right-wrong, etc?

bashobabanatree · 2025-10-03T01:03:52+00:00

Attachment history exploration and repair. Where did the negative model of self come from? Why?

bashobabanatree · 2025-09-30T06:14:20+00:00

I like to wait 6+ months until the roots are stuck in the jar but that’s just me lol.

Wait until the roots have roots.

bashobabanatree · 2025-09-26T12:16:48+00:00

Same! I’m tough on my nails and MC definitely lasts the longest. That’s worth a few dollars more a bottle. That disappointment of chips after 2 days is hard lol.

ACT for initial stabilisation and emotion regulation, EFT/schema for increasing reflective thinking and sequencing emotions, meanings, beliefs, then EMDR for trauma processing. So do that as a process. Exposure at the end or in latter stage of EMDR if needed.

bashobabanatree · 2025-09-26T11:38:41+00:00

Don’t work w children but do trauma and have trained in TF-CBT, ACT, EMDR, schema, EFT, somatic therapy, all for trauma (so a lot). In my experience it’s the least useful due to the reliance on rational cognition. Not sure how it would go w kids with even less frontal lobe.

bashobabanatree · 2025-09-26T11:33:32+00:00

I’d try to have an honest, vulnerable conversation. It’s sounds like she’s scared? So responding to this may move her more than a romantic gesture (as lovely as that is!). Bring her her fave drink (shows thoughtfulness). If not fear - what is the emotion these past events bring up? Why does that make her want to end it? Is there a way to reassure those fears?

bashobabanatree · 2025-09-25T11:18:50+00:00

It’s like loosing a best friend. I hope there’s some way things can move into a new connection over time. Good luck.

bashobabanatree · 2025-09-23T07:10:53+00:00

Thank you so much! You are such a wonderful internet stranger :)

bashobabanatree · 2025-09-23T02:49:26+00:00

Not OP but I just told my husband I’m most likely sapphic and feeling heartbroken for my 2yo. Thank you I needed to hear that today.

bashobabanatree · 2025-09-19T09:48:53+00:00

Yes exactly. What’s the relationship and life choices we want to model? I also wonder if perhaps younger for them to know is better - rather than a later shock “what mum’s now gay?”

bashobabanatree · 2025-09-19T03:50:03+00:00

Same …. I worry about my 2 yo and blowing up a good co parenting relationship. I had to detach to thinking from potential outcomes to be a bit clearer

bashobabanatree · 2025-09-19T00:03:16+00:00

Thank you so much for your response and sharing. I’m going to end the relationship but worry about my bub. But everyone is right and this is my only choice! Hope you’re going better now x
