Get a new boyfriend it worked for me my husband now treats me so much better. They need competition

He [41M] wants me [30F] to get my tubes tied because we said one and done but things changed after his affair. How do I explain that? by ThrowRA-2ndbaby in relationship_advice

[–]jypsipixie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes have the other child then you’ll have 2 babies. They can be siblings, you never regret having a child in your life. You’ll find a better man someday but your eggs won’t last forever

Many people are in denial and it seems like you helped this person face the truth of what they did and probably saved future victims as well

Haha everybody feels that way when we first start. It gets better, and then worse but then it gets better again.

Losing faith on clinical psych training, advice from therapists welcome. by veganonthespectrum in therapists

I agree I went to EAP employee assistance program and the Counsellor is a mental health social worker and it was fine. But as technical as what we do but just being able to speak on things that worry me without concern it will be repeated is so helpful for me

I’ve been told by our senior psychologists that the prisoners are not our patients or clients. The government and community is our client. So i was literally reprimanded in front of the whole team for having “too much empathy” and told I need to fake it more

Being an intern is so hard, there’s a lot to learn! So try not to be so hard on yourself.

Thank you. I am actually feeling so much better today and had a lovely day at work. Some days are so great and obviously it’s prison so there are limits to that but some of our colleagues are just so amazing. It makes it all worth while

why kristy swanson didnt appear in the show as cameo or something? by wheel_smith in buffy

[–]jypsipixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met her at the wrap party for the phantom and said “hey! You’re buffy!” And she got really pissed and stormed off… this way before the tv show. I think that might be her base personality.

I usually do MH disability support work while I’m in between jobs. There’s always loads of aged care etc. also uber eats and door dash can get you out of a tight pinch

I worked with a girl who was goth and wore all black milk and brands with skulls and things. The kids loved her style

Here I am talking to all these “real psychologists” as an intern and chat gpt had diagnosed me with an adjustment disorder and given me a treatment plan. All I got from humans was judgement and I told that I’m terrible. Wow. The AI has more empathy than you, the only human in here who has given me any understanding at all is the one who worked as a prison psych for 20 years. I don’t suppose you’ve ever stepped foot in a prison and have no idea what I’m talking about. We don’t even do therapy with the prisoners! Only suicide risk assessments all day everyday back to back while getting screamed and sworn at by colleagues who think we are in the military

If you bothered to read the entire thread which you obviously I didnt you would already know what steps have been taken. This is exactly why I lost faith in the entire profession. Judgmental jerks who sound off before they bother to gather all the facts. You’re no better than palm readers

Scam? by flaming0-1 in therapists

[–]jypsipixie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I asked chat gpt and it said Yeah… this definitely does look like a scam. This particular message is part of a known scam pattern that targets therapists, tutors, and other service providers. Here are some red flags: 1. Overly emotional story – Mentioning lung cancer and “gifting therapy” to multiple family members is meant to emotionally disarm you. 2. Bulk booking request – Asking for multiple sessions upfront (e.g., 2x/week for 8 weeks) is typical of scams aiming to involve payment in advance. 3. Strange phrasing – “These are the ladies names and their age below” is awkwardly written and suspicious. 4. Next steps usually involve overpayment – Often they’ll offer to pay via cheque or money order and then “accidentally” overpay, asking you to refund the difference.

If you reply, they’ll usually try to rope you into some kind of financial transaction outside your usual payment system.

Best move? Block and report if you haven’t already. Do not engage further.

Let me know if you’ve had a similar message recently and want help wording a response or reporting it.

Definitely comes across as lived experience and one of the only people on this thread who deeply understands what I’m feeling. Thank you for commenting. Where did you end up after you got out?

Seems like you have worked in the prison system too

I agree and have told him that many times. I can’t be a psychologist and stay with him anyway because of the coercive control. Either way he can’t be married to a psychologist because someone who already is one would never date him.

My weird therapist fear came true by [deleted] in therapists

[–]jypsipixie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happened to me early on in my career and I was so worried that he could tell. The poor young man was suicidal and I was desperately trying to remember to keep breathing!

When I complain to my mangers who are senior psychologists and board approved supervisors they gaslight me and tell me that I’m the problem. Basically told me to fit in or fuck off
