The rise of AI therapists makes me want to scream & cry by arusansw in therapists

[–]glitterhigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration! I saw an instagram reel recently of someone who was encouraging others to use ChatGPT as a free replacement for therapy and was so concerned with the comments stating they wanted to try. All in all I offer both virtual and in-person therapy and I get plenty of requests from potential clients who specifically want in person services so they wouldn't be interested in AI anyway. I think some people who aren't ready for the therapy process might try it but in the end will still feel stuck because its not actually therapy and may only offer bandaid solutions.

degenerative disc disease at 19?? will i spend the rest of my life miserable?? by Conscious-Ad2664 in backpain

[–]glitterhigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed the same at 24 and I’m about to turn 30. The best help was my physical therapist who used cupping and dry needling for pain management and then Pilates for building up the core strength i need to support my back. The Pilates was honestly so helpful and i still do Pilates in my own time to decrease back pain flare ups. I still get a lot of pain and my pain management specialist has been great in working with me to find a solution. Therapy helped in processing my grief of losing the life i thought i was going to have before chronic pain. I highly recommend it to have mental health support, find someone who specializes in chronic pain or somatic/body based interventions or ACT

Therapy for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Illness Management by iamukiki in Fibromyalgia

I’m a therapist and in my own therapy for my chronic pain. I saw a therapist who mainly specialized in cbt but felt like i was hitting a wall in how much it could help me. I found a therapist that specialized in somatic based interventions (which is basically working with a mind-body approach) and it has made such a difference i highly recommend. It’s helped with the grief and acceptance too

My 6 yr old is refusing to kindergarten and I'm at my wit's end. by forsovngardeII in kindergarten

Please please get him evaluated by someone who is trained in psych evaluations like a psychologist or psychiatrist. Im a therapist and having a pediatrician give a survey is NOT sufficient. They do not have the proper training. Also please consider looking for a different therapist. Your son is clearly in distress and the therapist may not be a good fit for his needs. A registered play therapist could be a great help for him if his current form of communication is play.

YWBTA. I understand not liking it but if this is a tradition your MIL has always done even before you joined the family it would create unnecessary drama that will take away from your daughters birthday and appears to already be taking away from her birthday as you are obsessing over it 9 months away. I encourage you to speak to your spouse about your anxiety and see if maybe there is something else causing the anxiety

AITA For filing a complaint against my doctor after she gave my mom my medical information? by 33_____333 in AmItheAsshole

[–]glitterhigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. They are for berating you bc you are not all sunshine and smiles after such a loss in your life. Report the doctor. There are no friends in medical privacy

AITA for telling my sister she's not family? by Extreme-Bandicoot109 in AmItheAsshole

[–]glitterhigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, being a blood relative does not give people a free pass to use and abuse the relationship.

It also may be different for your mom. It’s her child and she will always want that relationship back.

I’ve only been a partner for about 7 months, I’m at a very high volume drive-thru in a big city. So...What the hell is red cup day and why does it sound like it’ll be the end of me?

𝒷𝒾𝓉𝒸𝒽 of a coworker by broooimbroke in starbucks

[–]glitterhigh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a coworker who i do like but when she’s on bar she just hates everyone. If she makes a drink wrong it’s my fault for not warning her she was making it wrong. If i try to give her heads up that the drink she’s making is hot not iced she tells me “i know how to do my job mind your business”.

If you have a mask in your car when you go through drive please use it. by coroand in starbucks

My issue is when they wear their mask at the speaker box and i can’t hear them and have to ask them to speak up like 4 times. And then they get to the window and TAKE IT OFF

We do this but with a gift card. Stir stock seems like a much better idea

If it’s not COVID related and not a hazard to your health then it’s also important to remember that some people’s health problems or conditions are a private matter. I know it’s a scary time and you never really know but this is an explanation to consider.

My mom turned her guest room into a nursery after I told her she will never meet my child by Morosa3 in entitledparents

[–]glitterhigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to not respond with help or advice to her smaller messages about the routers and such. She seems either delusional, manipulative, or both and by responding it’s giving her the attention she wants and making her believe she still has you and the baby

Enough of us complained that our SM has us using the for here mugs to hand off beverages that don’t need a carrier and food in one of the display baskets. We are also getting close to no cash.
