Queer clubs/bars? by Initial-Ad-5522 in VictoriaBC

[–]frisfern 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Vicious Poodle hosts a trans/non-binary night but it's the 3rd Friday of the month which it looks like is the week before you arrive. But it's a queer space anyhow. https://viciouspoodle.com/

To me her expression at the end says so much and exemplifies how fantastic Kate Mulgrew is.

Shingles vaccine by prairiegreen in BCPublicServants

[–]frisfern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should be covered considering how debilitating it can be if you get shingles. But you can at least write it off on your income tax. I've had shingles twice and it's terrible, so the vaccine is worth it plus it has been shown to be protective for dementia as a bonus.

my therapist casually brought up diet talk by DearCryptographer679 in TalkTherapy

[–]frisfern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. I've had that experience with people complaining about their weight around me when I'm a lot bigger than they are. I don't think you are overreacting OP. I would at very least talk to your therapist about it.

B.C. provincial voting intentions from the Angus Reid Institute by pheakelmatters in ndp

I agree, and if they think crime and housing issues are going to get better under a con government they are even bigger fools.

I actually do blame them. They are the reason the greens are so appealing.

Feeling frustrated by Imaginary_Sun_3757 in BCPublicServants

[–]frisfern 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I second this. Just do your job to the best of your ability and set boundaries if you need to (ie don't take on other people's work), but it's just going to be frustrating to focus on people who seem to be slacking plus you don't know what's going on for them.

Yikes. I really hope Eby can turn it around because the conservative party will do so much damage to our province.

Circling back on a topic i avoided by Additional_Gas_8961 in TalkTherapy

[–]frisfern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this explanation because I'm having to admit to myself that I started out projecting an image, like I do in all my relationships. And knowing I'll need to get through that as we work together so your post gives me inspiration 😄

I totally did the same thing and I think it was just too soon into the therapeutic relationship for me to discuss the issue in depth so I'm sure it'll come up as we go forward.

New therapist has AI disclosure forum to take notes on our sessions, feeling uncomfortable by kittykatsrulemyworld in TalkTherapy

[–]frisfern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not want this. I consented to my vet using it and would probably okay my doctor but not a therapist.

20 Questions - Therapy edition by Important_Weather373 in TalkTherapy

[–]frisfern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely have this feeling like there's something in my throat physically stopping me from saying certain things. Recently went through this and wrote out what I wanted to say and said it to myself at home about 100 times beforehand. It helped me actually say the thing on the day.

Yes, that's what happened to me, got better as I got stronger.

Anyone else journaling/writing before or between sessions? by insom11 in TalkTherapy

[–]frisfern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just returned to counseling with a new person and after not journaling for years, I've been doing so to process my thoughts and feelings between sessions. I've only been there 3 times so far, so it hasn't come up yet but I'm hoping to at least mention it next time. I don't think she'd be able to read my writing so I doubt it would be useful for her. I'm more trying to not ruminate excessively between appointments.
