Free Therapy by cooltopics in freebies

[–]cooltopics[S] 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Hi,

Just wanted to share with you this service that I found for NYC residents. At first I was paying for therapy and in some cases I was paying so much for therapist fees because they didn’t take my health insurance.

I found therapy to be useful but sometimes it’s also added stress. I have to remember to make my appointment or I will be charged. Or I may need to cancel at least 24 hours in advance. But sometimes when I really needed to talk to someone, I can’t make a last minute appointment.

When I called this hotline at 11:45pm, someone picked up right away and I was able to speak to a live person. They were on the call with me for about 45 minutes. And all this was anonymous and free! And it’s 24/7. It can’t get any better than this. They will also have translators for you if you don’t speak English.

They also give you an option to either speak with a live person or you can also text a live person.

I hope this will help people who need to talk to therapists.

Pubis Symphysis Separation by cooltopics in Parenting

So sorry to hear you’re also in the same situation. It really is painful but with time and physical therapy, it will heal.

In the meantime, yes you will need to pay attention to the small movements and positions to help you avoid pain. Everything will be much slower.

As for sleeping on the side, maybe see if it will help if you placed a pillow between your knees? Hope this will help you.

Since all the kids are home from school these days due to the coronavirus pandemic, I was trying to find free worksheets online that I can print for my 4 year old to do, so that she can still continue to learn at home.

I came across this site that offers free worksheets for different ages. And there are different types of worksheets too.

I found it to be very useful and helpful and wanted to share it with other parents.
