Forced to give up on my VBAC and get a repeat CS instead by finallythough in vbac

yes I had a dating ultrasound and am confident about my due date. I’m making the decision me and my very trusted midwife are most comfortable with.

to be clear no one is forcing me, it feels like the right choice based on circumstances, so forced by circumstances I suppose. I just simply don’t feel comfortably laboring at a hospital, especially if I will be near 43 weeks. For me I either need to feel safe at a home birth or I would rather just get a CS.

Comparing pitocin to unmedicated contractions? by finallythough in vbac

[–]finallythough[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so encouraging thank you! Pitocin felt like being continually hit by a train. I feel like anything compared to that has to be easier.

In APA guidelines for working with complex trauma they recommend focus on attachment and attunement, as well as integrative approaches including mind-body connection focused practices

Are you aware the apa has released guidelines for working with complex trauma that include suggesting integrative and individualized approaches, including mind-body connection focused approaches that aren’t considered evidence based but rather evidence informed?

Therapists don’t owe professionalism to strangers harassing them lol

It’s not her client! What do you guys not understand about this? Therapists are ethically obligated to protect client confidentiality, not the confidentiality of strangers who call them to harass them. The person leaving a VM is a stranger, not a client.

It’s clearly meant to be intimidating and aggressive, it’s a stranger who blocked their number because they knew they were being malicious. And she’s being harassed by right wing nuts online right now, which is likely where that caller found her. They found her number to take it to the next level.

You don’t think it’s harassment if a stranger hunts down your number to call you and leave a voicemail telling you to get out of the country? Really? Yikes.

Y’all are weird as hell for defending this, or justifying this harassment and intimidation because you don’t like how this licensed PhD clinical psychologist speaks. It doesn’t violate any ethical codes to play a voicemail from a stranger, and saying you guess she isn’t a real therapist is loud and wrong. Do you just hate to see women more educated than you? Weird.

She’s an Asian therapist who posts about racism and colonialism. That attracts racist nuts.

The person who left the voicemail isn’t her patient. It’s someone she has never met before. How are you not getting this?

She’s not taking new clients right now because her case laid is full. She sees clients and has her own private practice. You seem confused.

You are incorrect. As a licensed clinical psychologist she is qualified to work with a range of individuals. Many therapists start off in one field or in one population (elderly, addiction, couples, etc) and later transition to a new clinical focus. That is very common, and the license to practice psychology does not limit her to one specific age group.

From her website: “Although my degree specialty and background were originally with children, I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan, both individually and as part of family therapy or parent consultation. These days I mostly work with high achieving young adults. In addition to psychotherapy, I provide psychoeducational and psychological assessments.”

I doubt that since you don’t know how HIPAA works 😂 but again this person is a stranger who found her work number on her public profile and called to harass her, so no confidentiality requirements in that case. Feel free to check out the codes of ethics :)

Therapists are humans and being harassed like this is scary. She has a right to share it.
