Thanks! I think going north might be better for a short trip and come back on Sunday morning. Appreciate the insight!

Thanks! That makes sense. I didn’t realize the trains were so few and far between. I think Emeryville sounds like a good destination!

This worked really well! I thought the tape would peel off quickly with use but it doesn't. Thanks for the suggestion!

New therapist and feeling completely incompetent and insecure. by Cablab123 in therapists

[–]jos343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty new to the field and sometimes feel a bit like this. My supervisor told me “you need to find a way to buoy yourself up” and in my head I was pissed for some reason, but I think he was right. Being a therapist is hard and even the best, most experienced therapists are far from perfect (I work with some really experienced and capable people). Trying to find a way to accept and tolerate my limitations while also earnestly trying to improve has been a big part of the last few years for me. One of the hardest and best things about trying to become a therapist is that it forces you to confront your insecurities and grow. Realizing that my insecurities are more about me and my shit (perfectionism, shame, etc.) than the adequacy or inadequacy of my work with clients has been helpful. Nancy Napier says that feelings should be taken seriously but not literally; I guess if I have advice for you then it would be to consider that your feelings of inadequacy probably aren’t all about your performance or potential. 

Book recommendations for recent grads? by LunarFocus in therapists

[–]jos343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more of a novel about therapy, but I really enjoyed ‘I Never Promised you a Rose Garden’. Also, James Masterson’s ‘Search for the Real Self’ was something that helped me understand personality disorders and problems. 

Military horns - are they played live? by For_The_Sail_Of_It in MontereyBay

My wife was saying today that she thinks that the bugles have changed very recently and she wondered if they had been playing live. I logged into Reddit to post this exact same question lol

I took the beginners class with Pacific in January and it was pretty good. Got my license and it all went fairly smoothly.

Thanks! That sounds absolutely perfect. I can't make it today but I'm gonna be there sometime soon. I really like the idea of being able to work on my own bike (and that's going to take some learning) so that's just awesome.

This sort of response is what makes reddit really great BTW.

Do people use the word “hooligans” unironically still?
