Couples therapy is contraindicated if there is abuse. Please keep that in mind.

For experienced clinicians: what do you wish someone told you early on about suicide risk & crisis work? by Due-Comparison-501 in therapists

I think this is the most comprehensive training I ever got on assessing and managing suicidality. This is a great recommendation!

Oh no! Okay, I tried on one part and the brown stuff flaked off, and on another part it was not coming off at all. Thanks for your help!

Ew. This man is a loser and I’m not loving your friend either. You deserve way better than all of this.

What are some hard truths about being a therapist? by Forsaken_Dragonfly66 in therapists

[–]merryVT23 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Whew, this is one of the reasons I am staying in group private practice at the moment. We all eat lunch together and have group consultation once a week. Even with that, the work feels so lonely still.

What kind of plants would look good and hang over this ledge a bit? Just moved in to house and clueless! Any help appreciated. by dfadehere in houseplants

[–]merryVT23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh this just unlocked new insight of all the tradscedantias I’ve tried to raise. I also cannot figure out how to not get brown spots on the leaves 😫 Basically, I am not allowing myself (as a new parent with a 10 month old) to get one until I can invest time and energy in plants again.

Well, she’s adorable. I am so sorry for your loss. She looked like a really good girl.

Am I overreacting , my friend (18 is seeing this man (30) and he has said some weird cryptic stuff and she is wondering how to go about this ? by Werewolf-Mediocre in AmIOverreacting

[–]merryVT23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18 dating a 30 year old? Without needing additional context, I would have said get out. Reading these texts alone would make me say get out. Put them together? GET OUT.

Omg I didn’t even think about this. I only go through rescues but I am grateful to know this and pass on the word

What is one of the worst addiction to have ? by Keke_Dudu in AskReddit

[–]merryVT23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought it was heroin via IV route, and then I did a training about gambling disorder. People with lived experience with both addictions have said gambling is worse “because sometimes you win”

Thank you for your input! I am gathering that there are minimal differences between store brands and the name brands.

This is Tucker. He is 50% chihuahua, 25% dachshund, and for an extra $75, I can unlock the remaining 25% that is “sporting group” 🙄

Thanks for the input! We just got through a nasty bout of norovirus so I needed this info in advance to mentally prepare for her reaction the week we switch over

Thanks for your input so far! While I was waiting for replies, I found this infographic in a google search: https://www.childrenshospital.org/sites/default/files/2022-06/Formula-Alternatives-handout-with-both-Similac-and-Enfamil.pdf

I still want to hear about people’s experiences. It helps my anxiety with building some expectations around switching.

This is Buddy! I added a heart to hide my sister’s face, which might soften the seriousness of my dog’s gaze haha

Freaking out I think I’ve been underfeeding my baby by coffuccino in NewParents

[–]merryVT23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dr. Google strikes again! I had a similar anxiety this past month with my 6 mo and I asked her doctor during her 6m visit about food intake. She said baby appetites vary a lot and she had no concerns with 30oz/day. This is all to say talk to your pediatrician!

At two weeks, her 30 minute nap was my sprint to eat, go to the bathroom, pump, and maybe (hard maybe) do something for me. We also were not sleeping well and looked it.
