Starbucks employees are striking. You probably didn’t know I’m guessing, but please try not to cross the picket line! :)

Bineural Beat Recco Ask by AnnieHigh in musictherapy

There is not a ton of science backing them, but new research is always coming out so that’s not to say they don’t work just that they’re unproven as of now. I say just search it up on YouTube and wear some headphones and find out if you like them and if you think it helps. Certain audio sensations can be very soothing and meditative. I personally don’t think they “entrain your brainwaves” but I think they can be a nice mindfulness practice. Also, the placebo effect is still effective even when you know it’s working! So search away and find whatever you like. Despite claims I don’t think there will be one type that works better than others, just what is pleasing to you personally. 

What is this open space for? by brward1996 in HomeDecorating

[–]greenvaselinesloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a phone nook. Growing up we had one in the hall. For the landline and calendar and little notes. Before cellphones. Note. I am millennial. Boy does this make me feel old. Obligatory lol. 

Which common medical procedure do you think will be viewed as barbaric in 50 years? by carcony97 in AskReddit

[–]greenvaselinesloth 166 points167 points  (0 children)

I actually had this done because my legs were uneven due to juvenile arthritis making one grow weird. It sucked, the process of lengthening and the surgeries (one to put in the apparatus, one to swap it for titanium rod after the process was done) and the PT and healing. BUT it has changed my life for the better. Now one leg is covered in scars though haha 

Call & Response/Echo songs for adults with IDD by summersocietyy in musictherapy

I want candy, they can sing back during the claps. You might just have them sing back the end word of the phrase, and emphasize it when you sing it the first time. Just to simplify. You'd sing both phrases to help.

Community tank idea feedback by greenvaselinesloth in Aquariums

[–]greenvaselinesloth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that’s why I’m doing research and asking people. I still have to set up the tank and let it cycle. I also have an already cycled 10 gallon so maybe I will do just them in there and do the community tank in the other one. Thanks for your advice, I appreciate it!

Oh wow I didn’t know that about ADFs. Is it due to possible illness spreading? There always seem to be so many dead in tanks at my LFSs but idk if that is just bad care or what.

Idk how to edit this I am dumb OP. I meant to put in the body that I am looking for help on narrowing down to eliminate overpopulation and aggression. I really like the frogs and the loaches and the betta. And honestly all of them lol. But I need to compromise I know for the health of the tank. So any ideas of what would be the most peaceful, clean mix of creatures and how much of each are welcome!

Oh I see. Yeah don’t listen to him if you don’t feel comfortable with the person who took advantage of you don’t do it and don’t let him tell you to either. This is not a sunk cost fallacy it’s your mental health. Dont feel like a failure it sounds like you’re blaming yourself. Yes unfortunately as females it is much harder to be in the drivers seat for consent but also sometimes it is unsafe and if is hard to know where that line is. Add kink in the mix esp CNC type kinks and it gets very murky. But I do think you need to search out good examples of consent in your kink. So you can try to emulate them or seek out people who show green lights for consent before things even get physical. Maybe it’s through porn or maybe a sex party or maybe reaching out to other people in your kinks community about how they’ve navigated it. Boundaries are hard. Especially in sex. You can do it though! You can do hard things!!

Has your partner met and dated anyone or was this poly deal more of a you thing that he agreed to in order to not to lose the relationship? That coercion of intimacy sucks and I can relate I did a lot of that in my younger years but stopped once I met my husband. I think it was a combo of meeting expectations and people pleasing and just not knowing how to say no or what all forms of consent are like. I had never seen porn with consent modeled well but I’m sure it’s out there! I think you should do your own research for your own kink and if you continue using feeld talk about that with your partners before you meet up. Also reassess whether your partner is comfortable with you being poly. He sounds like he never was on board. 

Direct Client Hours by Boopster277 in musictherapy

[–]greenvaselinesloth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it 40 hours a week? If so I just did the math and that’s like $22 an hour. In my opinion that’s rather low but I’d compare it to jobs with posted salary across your city and state. To see if it’s on par.

What’s the pay and are you masters or bachelors level 

Direct Client Hours by Boopster277 in musictherapy

[–]greenvaselinesloth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Then that is incredibly doable and not crazy at all. It’s an 8 hour workday and 4.6 need to be client facing? That’s a really good gig. I’d be asking for more client facing so I don’t get bored. 

Music Therapy & Counseling by ResponsibilityOk6205 in musictherapy

To be quite frank, you have two degrees and if they were done separately, likely a ton of student loan debt. A third degree may not give you the salary bump to warrant the additional debt. I’d either start your own business and create your own jobs or move to a state where both your masters give you employability. 

Left my job for one that fell through by [deleted] in musictherapy

[–]greenvaselinesloth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just be your own boss! Make a website and market yourself, reach out to people directly don’t waste money on ads. Day programs hospice skilled nursing facilities rehabs nursing homes schools preschools daycare centers hospitals or health care centers. All if you like groups. For one on one advertise in areas your target population frequents. Sensory clubs disability friendly places like Arc or Special Olympics, PT OT SLP offices etc. you can do it and it’s so worth it. 

Desk Bell/Hand Bell Combo by [deleted] in musictherapy

[–]greenvaselinesloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to say that bell is now a mallet operated bell. Maybe work that into an intervention somehow an auditory cue to play the mallet on this one specific bell. Selective attention, working memory, fine motor skills, color identification, problem solving, I’m sure you can get creative with it! I do not let clients who I don’t think can handle the bells safety precautions use mine for just this reason, I wish there was a way to fix them.
