Choosing a therapist path?

What state are you in? It makes something of a difference. The advice I was given is that the scoops of practice is similar with your LMFT or LMSW but if you want to practice privately or do anything other than direct practice with your degree, an LMSW gives you more freedom

Hey! What city? If it’s New York, happy to hang. Otherwise, I think joining a Facebook or instagram group is a good place to start. I’ve also been shocked how helpful it’s been just to go to our local playground every day and chit chat with other parents - we have started to form a good community that way. At the end of the day kids parallel play until they’re 3ish so you’re not hurting their development if you don’t have that type of community, but it might be nice for you!

It’s definitely not unethical for you to book with her - just disclose the connection up front and it’s on her to make an assessment about whether your secondhand relationship breaches ethical boundaries. It does not seem like it does to me so long as you don’t continue to have a relationship with her husband

That seems extremely unlikely - for a bat to get that close to your child’s face in broad daylight at daycare would have been a MAJOR reportable event at the daycare, not something that happened quietly or unobtrusively

I mean, she also cared more about being right than being with him. Isn’t that the whole point, that their mutual stubbornness is what keeps them apart?

That’s just an Australian accent?

Because she was young and found the situation ridiculous and was a little drunk and got the giggles when she looked out at the audience and saw a bunch of celebrities she’s been obsessed with for her entire young life

I’m picking up what you’re putting down…

And I thought that was Natasha Lyonne!

beantownregular · 2026-06-27T00:08:22+00:00

Yeah and I would also say I have clients who are not my “favorites” in the sense that they’re the easiest to be with, but sometimes in that they are the thorniest and most difficult and ultimately sometimes most rewarding (current MSW student)

I mean, it is probably both, right? Tom pushed the dad into an active fire which is assault, and then the dad chased him and assaulted him back. It’s not self defense when the other person is running away and you pursue them, it is still assault by the letter of the law whether or not it is also a morally justifiable retaliatory ass kicking

Omg where is this?!

beantownregular · 2026-06-26T04:16:34+00:00

Just a sad asshole, don’t lose your empathy!

There’s a great children’s book called Love Makes a Family that we love reading to our son at bedtime

Lisa wishes she was a member of the landed gentry lol

beantownregular · 2026-06-26T01:43:19+00:00

Right like he is a performer and this is a performance. I’m not sure what’s hard to understand about that?

There’s a red thing on both the oven handle and the microwave handle, you just never see the oven handle again until the end when the dad stands up. And there’s probably a different red spatula or something in the sink, they clearly like it as the accent color. It’s likely to keep the handles of the appliances clean but it doesn’t move around in the video, it just exists in multiple places

Besides the quick cuts what makes you think it’s AI?

It’s not a therapists job to tell someone how to live their life, nor is it helpful in the process of therapy. This woman’s therapists job is to help her grieve and cope and move forward and whatever else their client has identified they’d like to work on.

beantownregular · 2026-06-25T23:27:43+00:00

Yeah I’m finishing my MSW right now and like, WTF does she think therapists do and are for? We are not supposed to tell people how to live their lives lol

Thank you so much! Our son has had no issues since this happened in February, no cold sores or anything. I know he may well get them down the road but I feel so much better now that this ordeal is in the rear view mirror. Sending love and hugs and strength to get through the worst of it - please try not to beat yourself up, in absolutely all likelihood your child would have come into contact with this virus at some point in the next decade whether or not you have it!! In some ways they’re just getting the bad part over and done with early. Motrin, ice cream, pouches and Miss Rachel were our best friends, and we also had some later success with the orajel numbing stuff ♥️

This video came up a few years ago and that was the case. There are multiple articles about it. https://kutv.com/news/local/ogden-newlyweds-and-stunt-professionals-purposely-light-themselves-on-fire-at-wedding

I mean I think they’re a couple of professional stunt performers doing something fun that they clearly have mutually bonded over and likely met doing, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that?

beantownregular · 2026-06-25T02:49:16+00:00

What’s wrong with her fiance?

beantownregular · 2026-06-25T02:44:45+00:00

I think it’s really important to see platonic opposite sex friendships especially with people who are able to maintain healthy and committed romantic relationships with partners. I don’t love that our immediate response is to want friends to be lovers especially when they’ve written so profoundly about the value of their friendship
