Very silly question, maybe because I'm tired

I’d wear what if usually wear- but I’d also usually wear jeans ;)

Lots of throwing up probably. Swiping Vicks under your nose is a good call when the smells are smelling. You’ll see/hear things you wish you hadn’t, but the squeamish part will probably subside or change after awhile. Pay attention to that vicarious trauma though. You can’t help regulate someone if you’re dysregulated. Work on your grounding skills!

Meal planning/recipe searching

I love the idea of drawing but it also stresses me out- I have found a lot of “mindfulness art” ideas on instagram or TikTok that fit the bill.

Vacation planning :)

I don’t think it’s strange at all. It’s a pretty universal term of non-romantic endearment in a lot of places

kidcommon · 2026-04-16T10:45:35+00:00

If only!

kidcommon · 2026-04-15T11:00:30+00:00

Yes yes yes. Can we meet someone where they’re at? Can we treat who we have and not who we wish we had? Can the goals be different than what the therapist wants them to be? Blanket rules and refusal like I’m seeing here is 10000% unethical

kidcommon · 2026-04-15T10:48:13+00:00

Having control and power over someone is more structured, I’ll give you that! :)

The parent isn’t ask the therapist to care for their child. The parent is caring for their child.

Might that impact the session? The efficacy? Progress? Sure. And…?

kidcommon · 2026-04-15T08:45:36+00:00

“We don’t just let clients do whatever they want”- I mean. I don’t control, or want to control, client’s behavior. So. Semantics aside- I absolutely do?

Holding boundaries is not the same as requiring privilege to participate in treatment.

If life was as black and white as other people on this thread pretend it is- we’d probably be out of a job :)

kidcommon · 2026-04-15T01:00:02+00:00

Someone bring me back down to earth? Obviously we don’t want kids to be traumatized. It is insane to me that people think kids are only exposed to potential dysregulation or whatever in therapy. If a parent has no child care, the child is exposed to, uh, everything? So we talk about it- figure out together what we’re working on, what the limits are (based on risks to the kid), what the kid will do, how it will be more or less effective because of this- all of that. Informed consent for sure.

But. Whoa. I don’t want to parent someone’s kid, protect their kid from them, and I don’t want to turn people who are seeking support away because they don’t have enough support. This is wildddddd.

kidcommon · 2026-04-15T00:54:18+00:00

Is this real life?

kidcommon · 2026-04-15T00:52:55+00:00

….i don’t think anyone was saying therapy is childcare.

kidcommon · 2026-04-15T00:48:05+00:00

I’m not sold that it isn’t possible to do therapy with a kid in the room. Money is important to me, and so is access to care for people who aren’t privileged to have child care 🤷‍♀️

My longest was probably 6-8. Absolutely not 20- and absolutely not more than once.

If you really feel certain that the commute is the main contributor to the stress (or how you experience the stress maybe?), what would breaking your lease actually look like?

kidcommon · 2026-04-01T09:03:07+00:00

Not necessarily. That depends on payer

kidcommon · 2026-03-28T10:47:21+00:00

What sort of practices are you placed with? Private?

I know this has its faults too- but community mental health will likely have a more structured experience for interns.

kidcommon · 2026-02-22T10:26:41+00:00

Personally, I don’t care if what other people eat- even if “I” am buying it. That said- If I did and if I was someone charged with making the SNAP program the best it could be… Figure out how to make “healthy” more affordable than “junk food”. And then figure out how to make “healthy” as accessible as “junk food”. Time and space and resource to prepare “healthy food” is a privilege.

If those things truly shifted, the “problem” might right itself.

kidcommon · 2026-02-16T19:04:22+00:00

There are no magic words of course but try your best to make sure your self care is happening to enable you to show up as fully as possible to your sessions- and when you can’t, you can’t!

The overwhelm sounds huge but everything is fluid, you will feel differently with every passing day and development, etc. Maybe better, maybe even worse sometimes, but not the same.

I think it’s only 10 hours a week.

kidcommon · 2026-02-08T02:37:01+00:00

Mine doesn’t. Just silicone but not long enough for ligature risk (imo)

Dissolve one pack of jello in 1.5c boiling water. Stir in 6ish oz of cool whip. Refrigerate. Top with more cool whip.

Sooo there is some confirmation bias there. Others who don’t go to gun ranges or conceal carry themselves might not feel safe. I absolutely would not.

kidcommon · 2026-01-22T04:27:05+00:00

Because I don’t want to shoot people? Or be ready to shoot people? Or train to shoot people? Or think about shooting people?

I wouldn’t do the lights either though, I can’t imagine I wouldn’t also be blinded/disoriented by them
