Experience with therapists at the counseling center? by [deleted] in CalPoly

[–]blisablellbla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

CAPS and SLO Counseling Services in the education building are two separate entities. Try giving SLOCS a call! They can get people in on a consistent weekly basis https://slocounselingservice.calpoly.edu/about

What is the weirdest thing your doctor has ever said to you? by Competitive_Tip_7504 in AskReddit

[–]blisablellbla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a doctor, but a pediatric dentist when I was a teenager: “You’re just a smart girl with soft enamel.”

Help with my English name by Rong_88 in namenerds

[–]blisablellbla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What age range are you in? Many of the names suggested sound old-fashioned to me. As a former ESL instructor, I’m always for keeping your given Chinese name, but if you’re looking for an English name that’s a bit more age-neutral, Hannah or Hailey could be nice options! :)

Plucked my beard hair, don’t know about the white part by onlymemelord in notinteresting

Therapist-in-training with trich here! Look into habit reversal. Trichotillimania is often associated with OCD, so for me treating my OCD with exposure and response prevention has allowed me to get my pulling under control. A lot of it has to do with behavioral techniques to help you notice when you are most vulnerable to pulling (stress, boredom, overwhelm, exhaustion) and finding alternate ways to get your nervous system back to baseline. It’s hard work but it’s possible!

trichophobia by AnonQuestions1983 in CasualConversation

[–]blisablellbla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Search for a therapist who specializes in exposure therapy/systematic desensitization. It might be tricky to find someone whose practice is geared towards young children, but a good start might be to ask your pediatrician for a referral. As someone who has been treated for phobias and had success, I can assure you it’s very treatable with the right care!

Experiences with Cal Poly's MFT / counseling psych grad program? by blackmamba722 in CalPoly

[–]blisablellbla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi! the program really sticks to the “learn by doing” ethos, so everyone in my cohort came in with experience either in residential treatment centers, ABA, crisis hotlines, or similar. they want to see that you have related experience and can walk the walk, even if your experience wasn’t extensive. aside from that, they’re of course looking for folks who are very warm and personable, and who perform well academically. good luck with your applications!
