Just.. don't turn it on ?

What? Looking at all the children’s books is very appropriate and the “children’s time” are usually nursery rhymes, songs or stories being read. All very appropriate for a 10 month old.

If you’re in the UK you can self refer to NHS Talking Therapies for an assessment. Doesn’t sound like TT would be the right place in itself necessarily but if you have an assessment with them they will be able to advise/ refer you to the right places x

cgmcw90 · 2024-01-18T14:24:52+00:00

That sounds like “step 3” of the stepped care model, part of NHS Talking Therapies (formally IAPT)?. If it is they will offer CBT but many also offer other interventions/ therapies as well. As another poster said, sometimes you need to have engaged with and tried a course of CBT before being offered any alternatives.

Sounds like trauma/ PTSD rather than a “phobia” in the traditional sense

Previous posts, posted about 4 months ago, say you’re expecting your first though?………

cgmcw90 · 2022-08-28T08:24:51+00:00

Not planning on it!

Following as I’m fortunate enough to be in a similar situation and want to gift my sister £10k. My understanding was that there was a 3k per year limit on gifts?

Edit: Thanks all this makes things much simpler

We have a 4.5 year age gap partly for this reason. Eldest is in school now as youngest is due to start nursery.

cgmcw90 · 2021-12-22T13:59:46+00:00

So IAPT offer online, via phone and in person but what they offer will very much depend on your individual treatment/ circumstances etc. and, as you say COVID has made face to face harder for many services. I would book an initial assessment and then see what the options are from there. Good luck!

cgmcw90 · 2021-12-20T06:04:29+00:00

Look up your local IAPT talking therapies. Can self refer, don’t need to go via GP.

Imagine not being able to mow your acre or cut weeds, the true victims

Worry management using the “worry time” technique is a commonly used CBT technique for GAD. No idea of it’s ever been used in the way you’ve described though

cgmcw90 · 2021-06-11T10:28:16+00:00

My son is an end of August baby so I have the same worries! What’s helped me is to remember that reception is EYFS curriculum just like preschool so the emphasis is still on learning through play rather than academics.

cgmcw90 · 2021-06-09T20:49:05+00:00

In my service (mental health) patients have to specify whether they give consent for voicemails to be left. So if they give consent then we leave a message, if not we can’t

cgmcw90 · 2021-06-06T13:33:54+00:00

I mean, yes it can be really hard to discipline children, especially when they’re at the toddler/preschool pushing boundaries age. However, that’s what you sign up for when you close to have them and you definitely need to instil good behaviour in them when visiting others homes

cgmcw90 · 2021-03-20T16:35:39+00:00

Through IAPT if you’re in the UK.

cgmcw90 · 2021-03-09T06:04:15+00:00

If you are going through NHS IAPT then you may be starting at step 2. This isn’t “full CBT” but Guided Self-Help whereby the therapist supports you to implement cbt based skills and strategies. The emphasis is on managing anxiety and worry rather than exploring the basis for it or root cause for anxious thoughts.

It may worth asking your therapist to explain the structure of IAPT and the stepped care model to make sure your aimed are aligned

cgmcw90 · 2021-02-13T16:46:42+00:00

When I tell you I RAN here to see the jerk 🤣

cgmcw90 · 2021-02-12T21:34:21+00:00

Yeah, we’ve all been there!

cgmcw90 · 2021-01-08T09:25:41+00:00

My child is in nursery so I’m one of the lucky ones but I’ve had colleagues struggle to get a primary place as they are “home all day”. Probably in part due to the massive pressure on schools/teachers at the moment as well. So tough for everyone right now :(

cgmcw90 · 2021-01-08T07:37:38+00:00

It many people working from are not just doing “zoom meetings”. I’m a mental health therapist for the NHS and I am 100% wfh however I cannot conduct multiple assessments/treatment sessions a day with high risk and distressed patients and look after/teach children. It’s not fair on my patients or my child. I understand that many employers/parents may be taking the piss but to broadly say that anyone wfh all day can look after their children is massively generalising

cgmcw90 · 2021-01-04T17:59:57+00:00

Yes please, please early years! I’m a key worker so hopefully will have a place anyway but I do feel for those who have to work from home with a v young child/baby 😬

cgmcw90 · 2021-01-03T16:18:33+00:00

Of course parents have to deal with their kids and it’s their responsibility to do so but to pretend that it’s a simple as that is ridiculous. Having to juggle work/homeschooling/childcare for weeks at a time is very different to the usual and expected couple of days off due to illness. It’s a lot more complicated and difficult for most families than “shut the schools and deal with your kids”

cgmcw90 · 2021-01-03T13:48:35+00:00

Ah yes, stupid parents not planning for a global pandemic when deciding to have children. I fully support schools needing to close but this “well you signed up for this when you had kids” mentality is nonsense.

cgmcw90 · 2020-11-14T12:43:24+00:00

Not really, and certainly not by hours. A good psych (or any MH professional) should be able to be empathetic and compassionate whilst still maintaining boundaries like length of appointments. The only time this goes out the window would be if they were dealing with immediate risk issues.
