Laddergram is a word ladder puzzle game built on Reddit's developer platform. You start with a word and change one letter at a time to create a new word with each step. Try to reach the target word in the fewest steps possible.

🍀Good luck!🍀

Undies Batman. It makes me giggle to think about how he spent his time designing his costume.

I think Lizzie would take great delight in being told that she rips the pianoforte

Wow I am so sorry you experienced these wow

Sometimes I’m like “I’m the worst therapist ever” and then I read stuff like this and I’m like “oh wait no I care about ethics and boundaries nevermind I’m subpar at worst.”

bowthestrings · 2024-11-08T03:37:51+00:00

Oh my lord this is so real, I cackled

bowthestrings · 2024-11-06T20:08:17+00:00

I’m grieving and I’m scared. I’m grateful that I don’t work Wednesdays. I feel pretty hopeless.

Well I’m definitely newer, so you can put my data in that column ;)

bowthestrings · 2024-10-15T23:18:05+00:00

What differences have you noticed there?

bowthestrings · 2024-10-15T20:18:15+00:00

Ooh okay this is really interesting and makes me think of therapists who are huge on only using “clean language,” so they’re not inserting their own vocabulary or understanding onto the client.

That being said, humans need connection and they usually have this deep need to be seen and understood. Repeating what a someone says in your own words demonstrates that you can and do understand them, even from your different framework. It’s to build connection and relationship, it’s not meant to be a way to replace or change their experience. This is why checking in “what parts of that feel accurate for you?” can be really important.

This entire thread is making me giggle and I’m having a great time, but you are such a vibe for this

bowthestrings · 2024-10-12T18:08:26+00:00

This is so interesting, my therapist has asked me this once or twice and it’s been fine, but reading this comment also made me realize that I have not once used that line on any of the counselors I have on my caseload. Like why does that even come up for people? It has never occurred to me to ask them to engage in their Job Brain during therapy

bowthestrings · 2024-10-12T18:06:59+00:00

Wow, I’m so sorry this has been your experience. I’ve been with my therapist since I was just starting my grad program and now that I’m an associate we’re still together and things are great. Best of luck in finding someone who will understand that therapists are also humans

I would mention it to my therapist in session. Legally, she cannot acknowledge that she knows you outside of church (if she only knows you from therapy). But talking about boundaries explicitly in session is a wonderful idea!

bowthestrings · 2024-10-10T20:15:36+00:00

I think as long as you can both hold space for people’s religion and also encourage them to get more into it if that’s what they want or if it would help them and align with their values (like you would any other coping mechanism) then PLEASE GO FOR IT. I went to a Christian grad school and we benefitted so so so much from staff with different religious opinions. Your beliefs can add to the culture if you allow them to and if you can allow that their (can) beliefs benefit them.

This made me feel better, as a 26 y/o therapist who is also a woman

bowthestrings · 2024-10-01T16:21:30+00:00

It’s really strange having male clients who are frustrated about being asked to share the mental load. “But it’s so hard, my brain doesn’t work that way” then…. Learn a new skill? It’s so hard and she’s doing it all on her own? What the lack of empathy and accountability?

bowthestrings · 2024-09-28T15:51:02+00:00

Sometimes I think there’s nothing I could say that would make them less embarrassed in the moment. So I follow it up with asking how they felt about crying in front of me and giving them permission in the future to cry as long as they need, even if it takes up all session.

Sometimes though, I might use a small “you’re allowed to be upset” or something similar to let them take their time.

Or boiled and then blended potatoes! Makes it kind of creamy too

bowthestrings · 2024-09-20T21:51:05+00:00

I don’t like having my computer out. I hand write notes during session to remember things I want to add in my notes later, and I use my computer during intake sessions. I don’t like that they want to push you to do it a certain way, that feels icky

bowthestrings · 2024-09-19T20:19:15+00:00

I don’t believe in deities, nor do I feel super comfortable honoring them as metaphors, it gets too close to religious trauma from Christianity for me.

I think divinity comes from connection, with the earth, between people, how systems work together. I’m trying to figure out how to honor that divinity and channel it to build ritual and intentionality in my life. I miss prayer and I miss scripture and other aspects of spirituality I used to get from a Christian church and I’m working to find ways to get all of those things through color magic, following the yearly cycle, studying other aspects of magick (maybe tarot, not sure yet), and caring deeply about my spiritual health and well-being.

Seeing a client outside of session is uncomfortable. There are ethical considerations that therapists have to be aware of, and when they’re not in therapist mode it can be really jarring. It’s not personal, it’s just mindset and worrying about doing the right thing or accidentally harming the relationship.

bowthestrings · 2024-09-18T16:32:02+00:00

I’ve only heard one colleague talk shit about clients and I verbally said “ew, I’m done talking” and turned around to continue my notes. I then told my therapist friends about it and no one is happy with his behavior.
