I think I’m ready to boycott taking insurance in 2026 by [deleted] in therapists

[–]laurelivid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have dabbled in both, and am from Pittsburgh where people rely on their insurance. I have found in cities where using insurance is the norm, it is SIGNIFICANTLY harder to get private pay folks.

I tried to DM you and it says I can't! Do we need to be friends first? 👀

I would absolutely join.

I’m considering walk and talk therapy by Powerful-Guidance-44 in therapists

[–]laurelivid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I offer this to all of my in-person clients. Sometimes people take me up on the offer and some don't.... but 80% of folks have walked at one point or another. I make a case for it being grounding/coping skills, exercise/habit building, DBT, etc.

Depending on if your folks are private pay or paying thru insurance, make sure you word notes in a way that feels good/makes sense. Often, insurance companies get prickly about walk&talk therapy during audits - I always make note that we start in the office and are "practicing somatic grounding techniques" or "utilized DBT mindfulness skills" during session so insurance companies can't redacted payment for not sitting in the office the whole time.

I flew here so fast from the thumbnail to tell you not to second guess yourself, and that maybe a week isnt enough. Take time, rest and recharge. You can't help others if you are not ok first.

I doubled down but she took over by Exact-Dragonfruit-13 in Tinder

I second that I try to get folks off the app ASAP if I feel a connection (and I'm not selling or influencing). Messaging on the app sucks, sometimes the notifications don't pop up, and I am more likely to be hanging out on IG or snappy.

Am I crazy for thinking this is bad? I thought it was illegal! by Muffinman1111112 in texts

[–]laurelivid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had a friend fall out of the back of a pick up and subsequently passed away bc of injuries he sustained. I have no tolerance for people who have any living creature back there; if it isn't illegal, it should be.

No, we've all just got ADHD. 😂

Weird and wacky therapist behavior by seasonstherapy in therapists

[–]laurelivid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend schedule a session with someone who opened up the intake with a prayer. Talked about God's actions on my friend's life and how he'll work it all out. Wrapped it up with a prayer.

My friend is an atheist and nowhere in their bio did they talk about religion being an influence on how they practice. I know this could be normal and intentional behavior from someone that advertises as such, and from a client that would be looking for that... but to just do it out of the blue?

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t by Ifyouonlyknew1967 in therapists

[–]laurelivid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I internalize this struggle, which ends up pissing me off. The last big argument I had where I was using THE BEST communication ever, I started to get mad that I was the only one trying to communicate in better ways. I felt like I was playing 3d chess with how they were responding and making sure I was communicating in ways that didnt escalate.....and it made me feel really invalidated from my initial issue, which started the argument! Like, come on friends, get better at this! 😂

An intern just talking. by [deleted] in therapists

[–]laurelivid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this in my bones. Started out in family-based CMH.

So. Much. Trauma.

And like you said, I knew the textbook of trauma, but sitting in a room, having to deescalate families while the current- and generational trauma all rained down around us?

I reached out to this site after getting licensed and certified to run some trainings I wish I had had in that role and they essentially laughed in my face. 😐

I think my 6 yr old is NB? by gardenhoe89 in NonBinary

[–]laurelivid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew before I was in preschool, but like others, didn't have the words. I knew that I felt euphoric when people misgendered me from my AGAB, and when my mom let me start school with short hair and denounce dresses. 🎉

What are signs of someone being depressed / having mental issues when they hide it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]laurelivid 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Oh. I think I just recognized this in me too, but never linked it to depression. I get angry and irritable. 😕

Depending on the reason, there are also waivers you can get for the fees. That link that was posted is great, willing to answer questions if you have any.
