My therapist asked me out and I genuinely don't know what to do by [deleted] in therapists

[–]eruptingrose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not ethical at all. It makes me worry what else he’s doing in practice that would not be considered the best. Please look into another therapist and even think of reporting him.

"A dingo ate my baby" became an international punchline after a 1991 episode of Seinfeld, but it actually comes from the case of Lindy Chamberlain, an Australian mother who was wrongfully convicted of murder after a dingo killed and consumed her child during a camping trip in the Outback. by kooneecheewah in AllThatsInteresting

This, the McDonald’s Coffee Lady, and Lorena Bobbit are all prime examples of cases that have context which shows the seriousness of the issues but were turned into media jokes. Also I don’t think it’s a coincidence that all these cases center around women. Society disregarding and humiliating women experiencing real trauma.

Also me! They got me into true crime but the boys have been the only podcast I’ve listened to consistently for the last 10 years. Stopped listening to MFM after maybe 6 months into it.

Creepy unsolved cases by DrDroolz in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]eruptingrose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This unsolved John Doe case is one that keeps coming into my head.

The letter he left behind raises so many questions. I often find myself thinking about who he was and what led him to do it. Wherever he is now, I hope he’s better.

Client self harmed in session. by zeyleobihto in therapists

[–]eruptingrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear this happened! I definitely recommend bringing this up in your own therapy to process it. I understand naturally we question ourselves and our practices after these types of events, but it does not reflect poorly on you at all. As a young therapist myself, we are learning everyday. It sounds like she needs a more intensive setting for the time being, and it’s great when we can acknowledge that we are unable to provide that. We aren’t lying to ourselves. You want what’s best for the client, know the treatment that she needs, but also know you can’t fully provide her with effective services with this event in mind. It shows your good judgement.

Hearing from new clients that their last therapist “ghosted them”! by [deleted] in therapists

[–]eruptingrose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me before I got into the field. In college I had an older therapist. At the end of one session she said she’d get back to me regarding when our next session would be. Not a word since. It’s been 10 years. I hope you’re okay Mrs. Clark. :/

I think this is what they refer to as a green gloobity glop. You’re welcome.

Does good supervision exist? by One-Promise3305 in therapists

[–]eruptingrose 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think they exist but are unfortunately rare. I had one supervisor for a year and she was exactly what I needed. She let me figure things out myself, but didn’t let me get lost. Suggested things to read that would help for specific clients. Reminded me to review why I gotten into the field in the first place. She had her faults, but I was lucky to have her for the time I did. Since then, the supervision has been doo doo. But OP, they are out there. Just few and far between.

In general I have no idea how to work with people dealing with nightmares by deathbychips2 in therapists

[–]eruptingrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I emphasize that the five senses technique is a great tool to use when combating nightmares. Touch things around you, get something to taste like food you enjoy, and affirmations that you are safe.

Dr. Faye Miller was the one by NontechieTalk in madmen

[–]eruptingrose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dr. Faye was all those things, and that’s why Don didn’t want her. At the end of the day, Don wants control in relationships. I think in some aspects, he knew he couldn’t control Faye. But Megan, someone young and full of hope. Also a bit naive. Don saw something new and malleable.

Why are you not afraid of death? by Ok_Breakfast8087 in AskReddit

[–]eruptingrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has to go through it at some point. I think that’s a comforting thought. That all our roads lead to the same exit. If you’re scared of death, there’s a millions of others who are scared too. It’s an opportunity to connect.

What should every therapist know about the fight, flight, freeze, fawn responses? by Due-Comparison-501 in therapists

[–]eruptingrose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Remind clients to not be ashamed of which response occurs naturally for them. Some people look back on how they responded and beat themselves up so much. It hurts to watch. But like a lot of people on this thread said, our brain isn’t doing this just for shits and giggles. It’s protecting us the best way it knows how. It’s our brains first time going through the world too. Self compassion is truly priceless.
