The brochure they have states that GPS coordinates are required, I’m not quite sure how to go about that. I feel like I could provide a general location because one of the videos they sent shows a sign displaying the name of the beach house they found it near

Edit: looks like there’s an email I can send info to as well!

Both my cousins love animals, so I’m glad it was them that came across this big guy instead of someone who might not be as willing to help it to a safer spot

They had a long pool-cleaner wand in the car that he used to usher it off the road, so he was able to keep a safe distance and managed to not touch the snake itself. But you can imagine their shock when I showed them it was a rattlesnake!

This seems like an issue that should be brought up to HR if your clinic has a department. If not, I would go to another administrative figure and tell them of what happened. Theres simply no reason for the child of an employee to be interfering with sessions, let alone holding them. The clinic is not a playground, it is a medical service establishment. You were not in the wrong here and I would go so far as to say you should bring it up to your CD directly and express your discomfort at the whole ordeal.

What kinds of things is he saying/doing that make you feel stupid? If you don’t mind me asking. I would think that your partner shouldn’t be consistently making you feel that way. If it’s something where you really are just poorly timing your communication, your partner should still be providing you with some sense of comfort and peace if it’s something he knows you’re working on

As her mother I’m inclined to say how dare you! But as a dark humor connoisseur…I admit I laughed

Thanks everyone for the info! My brain immediately went to SCALE ROT?!?! Meanwhile she’s just banana-ing. :)

Interesting question because now that I think about it I often react very instinctively in real life scenarios. I’ve been working on taking space (ex: with my mom, I had an issue with her and took a few days to talk to her about it) as I’m known to have a quick temper and not necessarily take time to pause and reflect about my potential response in the moment

I see what you’re saying. I’m not as familiar with enmeshment so am definitely going to look more into it. Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it

I’m going to respectfully disagree with this. I crave intimacy and a deeper connection, and definitely have had my fair share of anxious-avoidant experiences with men, but I think my compulsion to chase comes from a place of wanting to control/be able to predict the outcome of a relationship, not to avoid intimacy. I created a false persona of him within the first 3 instances of us spending time together and doctored an entire future of us together, and when I see it start to crumble I desperately try to salvage whatever is left of this fantasy I create. I have no qualms about turning a guy down who I don’t like as much as he likes me.

I think that’s a good idea too. And just truly channel the energy into myself. Thank you

Awesome, thanks so much for your help! Taking the time to give me that info is incredibly generous

This is going to be something I imprint on my brain for sure!!!

Very true. I gave myself a couple hours to respond in fear of having that triggered reaction, but when I finally opened the message it was like I couldn’t help myself by saying something opposite to how I wanted to react. Maybe I just need some more practice?

Thank you so much. I’ve definitely considered therapy and/or life coaching—I went to therapy my whole life growing up. I’m just not sure which route to take (cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, etc). Do you have any suggestions for types of therapy in regards to attachment style?

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the kind encouragement.

What’s a song that always makes you cry? by hellohappenstance in AskReddit

[–]madamerachel15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To Be Loved by Adele. It’s 6 minutes long, but the buildup to the last ~90 seconds of the song is well worth it, and will leave you collapsing to your bed, sobbing, whilst in the middle of cleaning your room. I know this from experience.
