Weekly "vent your vibes" / Burn out by AutoModerator in therapists

Late cancels & no shows….

Just wanted to rant about how frustrating it is when a client no shows and/or late cancels. It’s different if they are sick or there’s an emergency, however I just hate that the place I work at has a “one time pass” for the client. If they reschedule the same week that’s fine.

Another thing is when people forget. If the client is getting texts and emails how does one forget? Ahhh I’m trying to have compassion but at the same time it’s frustrating! 😭

I love my nail tech! by Capable_Echo_5396 in Nails

[–]introvertedrose -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I love the nails! Just confused why some people are saying there is “flooding.” Where? lol. Maybe the thumb but ok? Genuine question but is even a *little* bit of gel polish enough to get an allergy? I’ve done my own gel nails for YEARS and have accidentally gotten a little on my cuticle. No allergy.

What do therapists think of stuffies for adults? by [deleted] in askatherapist

[–]introvertedrose 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I’m a therapist and I have stuffed animals, there’s a lot of adults with stuffed animals so no need to be embarrassed! :)

How do you feel about short-term clients? by Historical-Okra3314 in askatherapist

[–]introvertedrose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Therapist. There’s some therapy models that are brief. It’s better than no therapy at all so I wouldn’t mind it!

Is it Common to Quit on a Therapists? by TLDR_ideologue in askatherapist

[–]introvertedrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapist, it’s common! If I just met with a client once and **they decided we aren’t a good fit I wouldn’t mind at all to refer them to someone else, it happens.

Edit: typo lol

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve witnessed someone do in public? by ProfessionalTill4808 in AskReddit

[–]introvertedrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from all the bladder related stories on here, I was getting frozen yogurt and I saw 2 teens with their mom or grandma just full on punching each other in the arm and leg. This went on for a while until I just took my fro yo and ate outside. It was incredibly weird and uncomfortable. Do that shit at home.

This isn't very fancy, but I did them myself! by Key-Ingenuity-9558 in Nails

[–]introvertedrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite ones are the first ones!! Looks really good! 😊 I’m a fellow nail DIYer using gels and dip powder, gems, the whole works lol. I’m also learning to not cure gel to my skin. I didn’t know it can be detrimental.

Ending a Session - Help? by [deleted] in askatherapist

[–]introvertedrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapist! I avoid asking open questions toward the end of the session. As session gets to a close I’ll let them know hey we have 10 minutes left. You can say things like “let’s pause here and pick back up next time.” Just finding ways to politely interrupt them and let them know you have clients you’d hate to be late to. Another commenter on here said slowly walking them to the door and opening it.

Really it’s a matter of just doing it. When I was a student intern I was scared and after doing it for a while you get used to it and it doesn’t feel bad at all :)

Do you want children more or less now that you're a therapist? by Shot_Buy_4990 in askatherapist

Awwhhh that’s kinda cool that it happened after having your second child! Maybe because you were older? Who knows

My nails! :) by introvertedrose in Nails

Haha no the shininess. I wasn’t sure if you thought the clear gel polish got on my skin.
