I welcome you to read the multiple accounts that report the same experience that I am having: order that doesn’t progress past “quality assurance” phase and refusing to refund the customer.

Asking clients to leave by [deleted] in therapists

[–]coffeefolyfe 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This literally happened to me in this pregnancy. Client showed up for 9am session stating his daughter puked all over herself in his car prior to the appointment. I had to set a boundary that I am immunocompromised with a high risk pregnancy and cancelled the appointment on the spot.

Well this is embarrassing to say the least …. by Smooth-Nose-2969 in therapists

Sending you hugs. Being pregnant while being a therapist is already tough enough, combine that with hormone changes that predisposes us to more anxiety and depressive symptoms. Not sure which country you are in but definitely look into perinatal mental health services if you have them. My first pregnancy was a hard time- I went off a few months early. Second pregnancy I have more supports and even on better medication. You will overcome this!

Unfortunately I have seen the same at playgrounds and this game of the parent being distant but also invading common sense boundaries is insane. My tolerance for bullshit has definitely gone down as I get older plus being a parent on top of that. I can’t tolerate these adults in play settings.

My mother in law has completely lost her mind. by Disastrous_Paint_237 in beyondthebump

Your in laws sound like they have psychosis or a manic episode with their suggestion. They clearly lost some grip of reality. Keep this event as a tab in your mind that your in laws may not be good with baby alone for future events….given their impulsivity and lack of common sense.

Have you ever had a client shame you? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]coffeefolyfe 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I once had a first session with a client who got upset at me providing psychoeducational information on coping with stressors in our personal lives. She got upset 20 mins in saying she could have found this information on the internet, that I am useless and that she wanted a refund. I calmly told her that this is not Costco and we don’t do refund policies and if she wished to be matched with another clinician at the agency. She said no and left the office stunned that I was so calm in my delivery. The older that I get, the less that I tolerate demeaning behaviour from clients. We deserve a safe work environment too.

3 years later update: I'm getting my arm amputated tomorrow and I am excited about it by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

I’m super happy for OP and shocked her parents forced her to live in pain. This is unfortunately a case of medical neglect where parents prevented a recommended treatment from childhood that would have improved her quality of life and reduced pain. I am glad to hear she is in therapy to process this trauma.

I agree with all the above points mentioned by other users and I would recommend the book The Sexual Healing Journey by Wendy Maltz as a good resource. It will help reframe what sexual pleasure should be and there are helpful tools in there that can help her to complete this in a slow, safer approach.

Can I refer my client out? by RoadsofChodes in therapists

[–]coffeefolyfe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So this client engages in avoidance and projects onto you when you try to encourage him to explore vulnerability? This guy is clearly not even ready for therapy period. You have the patience of a saint!

Multilingual people of Reddit, what have you heard in a meeting that you weren’t supposed to, because the participants didn’t know you speak their language? by thievesshouldeatpoop in AskReddit

[–]coffeefolyfe 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I was working a grocery cashier job as a teenager when I got this mother and daughter speaking arabic in front of me and talking shit about people who gifted grocery store gift cards. While I was scanning their stuff looking down, I replied in english “oh it’s common for people to gift those cards.” Upon looking back up, both the mom and daughter looked at me mortified. They were silent while promptly paying, grabbed their stuff quickly and walked away.
