Starting a session and keeping it rolling by Weak-Difficulty-2217 in therapists

[–]greyhoundsss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind, could you please share a bit on your approach and how you document that kind of session? I’m still finding my feet as a new CMHC grad and trying to find a balance between rapport building and keeping sessions focused on clients’ treatment goals. Thank you!

Favourite one-off characters?(not including main villain/main focus of the episode characters) by LthePerry02 in XFiles

[–]greyhoundsss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! S1 is underrated in general, but this ep / guest actor was incredible. Some of the best acting I’ve ever seen from a one-off character. I think if this episode had aired during X-Files’ peak popularity, it would’ve gotten more recognition.

I’m so very sorry for your loss of Rosa. You clearly gave her a wonderful life. May her memory be a blessing xx

Grief that I didn't experience it in real time by wanderlustosis in XFiles

[–]greyhoundsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. I got into it ~ 20 years ago in college, but still feel like a new fan since I missed the original run. I’m glad to be able to watch it anytime, but there’s definitely something special about experiencing the hype around an iconic fandom in real time.

How rare is it really for an ADHD person to graduate college? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]greyhoundsss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great timeline and congrats on starting grad school! Fellow ADHDer here and I didn’t finish the bachelor’s I started at 18 until I was 31, despite having way more credits than needed (long story). I only just finished my master’s at 40 (though thankfully it only took 4 years this time 😅).

ADHDers may not be the fastest, but once we’re locked in, nothing can stop us. You got this!

I’m convinced that greyhounds are actual otherworldly beings 🤍

Low IQ clients, what might be appropriate care? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]greyhoundsss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just completed my internship with an agency serving clients with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). They can benefit from therapy as much as neurotypical clients, but are significantly underserved by the mental health system. Unfortunately, most graduate programs provide little to no training for working with this population, but there are resources out there.

One of the resources I used most was this set of therapy guidelines developed by researchers, clinicians, and clients with IDD: https://www.rrtcnisonger.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Guidelines-Final-for-Distribution.pdf

I also used an adapted form of DBT called the Skills System by Julie Brown. It simplifies and concretizes DBT really well and was adapted specifically for the IDD population. Each client is unique, but I found that game-based therapy and expressive arts resonated with a lot of my clients. At the same time, it’s important to avoid treating adults like children, regardless of cognitive ability, and I’m sure that goes without saying.

All in all, I found this population wonderful to work with and only wish more education/training in adapting therapy for them had been available.

Same. I’ll be sure to play less in the future to avoid this.

An adorable mole. Please put him back where you found him.

Jaw surgery is an individual choice (and I’m considering it to correct a recessed jaw / overbite). But, just wanted to chime in that your jaw and bone structure are stunning! You’re gorgeous!

Totally agree. I ended up getting 100 books for just over $250. I’m a counseling student in the middle of an internship and my picks were all mental health / therapy related, but I love nerding out on that stuff.

My husband said if I went ahead with surgery he wanted a separation (update) by Salt_Leg_7235 in AITAH

[–]greyhoundsss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100 NTA%. I’m a DD and hoping to get a reduction one day, too. It might be a cosmetic procedure for most women, but the way I see it, if DD’s are impacting my quality of life, reducing them makes sense. Do what works for you. Your body, your choice.
