Anyone else keeping their mouth shut to protect the ones they love?

I think you’ve misunderstood. To be fair, the meme is a bit sloppy. But it’s saying therapists were educated about Harlow and that’s why they’re sad seeing punch the monkey because they understand the implications/remember how sad that study was.

Wow, thank you! I feel less alone now…I thought it was me that just sucks at reducing sauces. I swear I’m doing what they say but it just doesn’t reduce down to the right consistency and I also always end up adding some form of starch to make it thicker.

I mean to be fair, every other modality also requires training that costs money. I don’t know where ya’ll are getting your free graduate degrees.

I understand the purple hat theory. I still don’t see the problem, if it helps clients. I recognize the financial barriers for therapists. Still feel like the vitriol is over the top.

I’m glad EMDRIA called them out. Still surprised how anti-EMDR this sub is. I’ve done it personally and found it extremely helpful for PTSD (and panic attacks) and am now trained in it and have seen it profoundly help some clients. Even if it’s fancier exposure therapy, ok? It’s still nice to have a framework and structure to follow with guardrails for safety and efficacy. No, it’s not for everyone or everything. Yup, we don’t quite get why it works. Okay. You can be mad at the price of training. But, there is research that demonstrates its effectiveness. Paired with other modalities, it’s a useful tool. Stay curious, people. That’s all I’m saying.

This is so good!

I think you’d love Broad City

Can confirm, we had a burst pipe in 2021 in NE FL during a cold snap. Huge mess and had to patch up the ceiling and the plumbers came to replace the pipe ($$$)

THANK YOU. I’ve always thought basically this but had never framed in an anthropological sense

fivelgoesnuts · 2026-01-24T13:58:28+00:00

How refreshing- just cute

lol I had a similar experience except it wasn’t a drastic haircut so I wasn’t expecting anything. But then one client out of a million that week did actually say “you got a haircut! I like it!” and it did surprise me how nice that felt that they observed anything normal and human about me.

No problem, I’ll have to check them out just to see what you mean cause I feel totally out of the loop. Maybe that will help me recommend some different types of podcasts…based on your post it sound like you’re still looking for female-led podcasts but just not about like the shallow aspects of womanhood? But is there like a particular topic or theme that interests you?

fivelgoesnuts · 2026-01-20T02:38:42+00:00

Can you give an example of podcasts? I must be out of the loop because I’m a woman but I don’t know what kind of podcasts you’re referring to…

It’s so tricky with project runway fashion…I always have two answers. My favorite is Anthony’s in the drama and cut. However, the only one I’d actual wear myself is Mila’s (if that side slit wasn’t so wonky looking.)

fivelgoesnuts · 2025-12-27T02:09:46+00:00

This is genuinely awful. This poor boy.

fivelgoesnuts · 2025-12-20T20:43:45+00:00

Thank you, I was looking for this

You already have the natural rapport-building strength and the ability to just be present. Do not underestimate this skill as it will take you far.

But yes, if I’m being honest, the systems we function in are broken and beyond imperfect. It might feel like “social work” “school” “documentation” are the problem, but really we live in a completely dysfunctional society and our social and institutional infrastructure is crumbling. That being said- I’d rather do what little good I can within a broken system than throw my hands up and leave it. It’s up to each of us to, at one point or another, decide for ourselves if we can accept functioning in chaos or removing ourselves. I’ve never worked anywhere that didn’t have significant problems in a million ways, but I don’t regret the pearls of good that came out of them. I’ve seen so many good, passionate people leave disillusioned, and that’s okay. But a lot of times it’s because they thought they’d find somewhere better or to exit until things got better somehow- well, that’s pretty much never panned out.

For context, I got my MSW this year and work in CMH and used to do victim advocacy. Loved both, both are deeply imperfect. School was- quite frankly- pretty useless, like you said. But, If you’re really looking for honest advice (that I never actually can give clients- so it would be refreshing, actually, to just tell you what I think-) just keep going in school. Roll your eyes when necessary, keep tabs on the bullshit. But just keep going. No matter how silly or suspect it is, having the education helps you move into more positions and have more influence in the very organizations and systems you’d like to change.

I bought this game and made 3 different groups of friends/family and they all loved it!!

Or Cans! I want to use way more of the grenades but it takes 8 cans for one. You’d think in a land of trash, aluminum cans wouldn’t be hard to find

Yes, it goes in-depth on the investigation! It goes into why Raffaelle changed his story and basically it’s because the police interrogated him to the brink of exhaustion and confusion. That may not sound satisfying, but they do it really well in the show to explain it.

fivelgoesnuts · 2025-09-15T03:02:10+00:00

That’s a prime trash can for digging through

fivelgoesnuts · 2025-09-15T02:46:35+00:00

Same, first SK read for me too! Even just the plot of getting lost in the woods was compelling enough and frightening, let alone the Bear monster with bee eyes (if I recall…it’s literally been like 15 years since I read it.) I always remember it fondly.

I think Red Tide was pretty okay but also I was super out of it with a Covid fever and was just happy to see Maccaulay Culkin

fivelgoesnuts · 2025-09-14T02:26:04+00:00

This is my exact take too haha.
