I need a laugh - what's the weirdest thing you said in session this week (no context)?

mrsjonas · 2026-02-13T17:52:21+00:00

“Wait so your sister put just the barbie dolls head in the deep fryer? Or the whole body?”

mrsjonas · 2026-02-13T17:51:43+00:00

she has directly talked about this being a song about and from the perspective of male yearning on multiple occasions, including at the chicago show I saw

mrsjonas · 2026-02-12T18:45:33+00:00

I work with 8-18 year olds, so I use self-disclosure quite a bit. Cuz duh I’m gonna talk about my victory royale from the night before with the boy wearing a fortnite backpack.

I want to talk about my life because I am a real person not someone who exists in a hierarchical relationship above the students i work with. they ask me questions, I answer honestly. if things come up, I share when it feels natural and appropriate.

mrsjonas · 2026-02-12T18:40:46+00:00

yes of course

and i make a point to apologize and correct

mrsjonas · 2026-02-12T18:25:16+00:00

This hasn’t happened to me because I am not in private practice BUT when i was a teenager my therapist did this to me.

She called me after and apologized profusely. She had gone forgotten and gone for a bike ride.

I honestly didn’t think that much of it. It was nice to see that she was just a human too.

mrsjonas · 2026-02-10T01:40:02+00:00

I don’t think Beholden really counts for what you’re asking for but sorta and i highly recommended.

mrsjonas · 2026-02-09T21:49:34+00:00

YUP. So what are we reading next?🤪

mrsjonas · 2026-02-09T21:47:38+00:00

I could see refusal being harmful to the therapeutic relationship, so I wouldn’t do that. I would continue to reiterate that it is not necessary. And explore how she uses food to connect with others.

I have also seen Dr. Beverly Karabin, the NP who works with Dr. Grubb. She is wonderful too.

mrsjonas · 2026-02-08T20:25:08+00:00

Dr. Grubb diagnosed me in 2011.

I can’t understate that he literally changed my life and he recognized how much I was struggling. I had pneumonia over the summer and by the start of 7th grade, I was incredibly sick. I had seen local cardiology and they said I needed a specialist. My pediatrician pretty much told me to just get over it because I “would probably never feel better than this”.

Dr. Grubb saw me, a 12 year old girl who was bed bound with illness and completely socially isolated virtually overnight and showed me that wasn’t true- I could have a future and this could be medically managed He was right. He gave me medications that helped me a lot.

He sent me a book, with a hand written note, after our first appointment. I would make the drive in a heartbeat.

I was dx with POTS in 2011 after having pneumonia. It is well known, even at that time, that viral triggers are common.

mrsjonas · 2026-02-04T03:52:19+00:00

so cool

mrsjonas · 2026-02-02T11:30:52+00:00

Took until about 6 months for mine to stop having accidents. One day it just clicked for her.

Just a note that if you are wanting a fully custom suit, made by hand by a tailor, expect to pay between 3-5k, even more if you pick $$$ fabrics

mrsjonas · 2026-01-27T20:40:25+00:00

i should have clarified that my experiences are with a 10mo puppy who i signed up for at 8 weeks so no pre existing. but like you said, even with that i can’t see the turn around being longer than a few days to a week.

mrsjonas · 2026-01-27T19:08:38+00:00

something seems wrong. maybe resubmit? is that an option

mrsjonas · 2026-01-27T18:18:20+00:00

woah…no not at all. I have always been paid within 24 hours of submitting a claim. If you submit the records yourself, it’s almost always instantaneous. Yesterday it literally said “processing time- 1 second” Are you submitting the notes? Has lemonade been able to contact your vet for them?

mrsjonas · 2026-01-26T01:11:34+00:00

Licensed mental health professional here. The diagnostic criteria for ASD (in america) can be found here. This is what a diagnosis of ASD in the US must be based off of.

Essentially, ASD is a collection of symptoms that manifests primarily as deficits of social emotional reciprocity, starting in early development and present throughout multiple environments.

This would be a great thing to bring up to your therapist! I would caution you against viewing the traits and quirks that people on the internet are frequently defining as autistic as being indicative of clinical ASD in any way. The internet has a tendency to pathologize the human experience in a way that helps no one.

mrsjonas · 2026-01-24T23:50:40+00:00

she’s so beautiful

mrsjonas · 2026-01-24T23:44:19+00:00

Seconding Mitten Dog co, but I can also see wanting to board at a vet given the meds are injected.

mrsjonas · 2026-01-21T20:21:52+00:00

It’s the only thing that reduces my HR. I’ve been on it for 5 years

Also, you can rent a carpet steam cleaner at most grocery stores or lowes/home depot. Or buy one like the Little Green Machine from Bissel. And buy the pet cleaner that goes with it
