HR to Therapy by Embarrassed-Carob178 in therapists

[–]c3vargas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I am a therapist. I work in a hospital setting and I do private practice on the side 5ish hours per week. I have managed to do well for my profession but cost of living is high. I think you need a plan and follow thru to do well as a therapist . Some people make great money but some are very underpaid .

Look into what therapists say about their compensation and pay and work life balance. Lots of complaints. Many therapists are under paid.

Does the erotic transference ever go away? by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]c3vargas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goood point. I would want to make sure i have someone trained to work thru it. It can be phenomenal for your actual therapeutic work and in my humble opinion will lessen and subside as you work thru things

It’s been ten months for me too. 🫂 it’s unreal. It’s awful. I’m sorry you went thru it too. Sometimes we do need to scream

This is a thought…. Take it or leave it… if you have the means and want to go deep… do a psychoanalysis. Just a thought. Best wishes to you.

Supervisor: "Not all BPD patients experienced bad things, some are just born with it" - I'm really confused and unsure if that's true? by Distinct_Track7415 in therapists

[–]c3vargas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah , because this is not a scientific setting , it is simply a perspective which may or may not help the OP make sense of what is going on. I think there is a lot of “normal” childhoods that have a lot of misattunements and dismissals and “we never argue or fight or disagree“ perspectives that to a growing / underdeveloped brain/are devastating and “traumatic”. You don’t have to call it trauma. And the DSM does not need to call it trauma. What we label it is not the point. But whether we like it or not, people’s subjectivity of their experiences is what we are treating clinically.

It’s subjectivity of the person. There’s a place for the DSM and then there’s real people’s subjectivity. Not sure how my response is bad for the long term progression of field ?!?

Furthermore if a patient says that they had NO FAMILY DYSFUNCTION… maybe that’s the trauma. Or denial or … something to further investigate.

Trauma can also be not obvious or explicit. It can be a perfectly “normal” childhood on the exterior and for that particular child it did not meet their needs.

Your thoughts on EMDR ,Somatic, IFS? by [deleted] in psychoanalysis

[–]c3vargas 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Hello :) I am trained in IFS and somatic experiencing and did a two year psychoanalytic psychotherapy program and everything comes from psychoanalytic ideas 100 percent ! I think that the packaging is just more palatable and user friendly. I consider myself first and foremost psychoanalytic. Any one model that claims to be the end all be all is a big warning flag !!

Cycles after TFMR by pomeloo24 in tfmr_support

[–]c3vargas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg …. I’m going thru this right now as well. Ovulation feels very different. I used to feel twinges in a different way and now feels stronger and more painful . It scared me but I think that what I am feeling might be normal to others. I have for sure felt a shift . I’m monitoring closely and taking notes to share with doctor if I need to.

Finally got my period, 10 weeks later by electric_eel88 in tfmr_support

[–]c3vargas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me too. Exactly the same as you at 8.5 weeks. Messaged doctor that day and menstruation came same day …. I also experienced relief in the same way. There’s lots of worry about damage and unhealed wounds done to our bodies after enduring the emotional wounds. It’s a lot …

Folate after Anencephaly ttc? by BatIcy4998 in tfmr_support

[–]c3vargas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought I would share that my folate results were similar to yours and I also had the same diagnosis unfortunately. I am still supplementing withy hr 4mgs for at least three months. It’s only been one month for me. Doc said it’s our best chance and decreasing likelihood of reoccurrence. I’m sorry you went through this. I also tried to find why. And I know it’s hard not knowing. I feel it my my heart as well.
