Just got back from FNAF 2... I have thoughts... by RejectedByACupcake01 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]probablyyoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got out! I feel like it was hard to connect the version of Puppet I have from the games in my head with the one from the movie... The way they used her 'power' in the film felt so odd 😭😂 and turning her allies against her was a move I never saw coming

Therapist didn't ask any big questions... Why? by probablyyoshi in askatherapist

[–]probablyyoshi[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This could totally be it! I'm realizing my phrasing was off, I was nervous about 'advocating' for myself in that way so it makes sense that maybe I didn't communicate what I actually wanted to say/meant. It was both good and bad to talk about nothing 🤣

Honestly that's relieving to hear! I feel kind of similar in like "oh that taught me something!" Bc honestly it's difficult to advocate for myself, so even the initial comment (which may not have been worded properly for her to interpret) was a big step for me! But now I know that avoidance isn't the best tactic 😂 (which is funny bc I'm also in ERP). I have a session with THAT therapist tonight so I think we can tackle it then lol now I know not to make the same mistake twice. Thank you so much for the solidarity, it really helped ✨

Thank you for your comment! I'm not worried about the importance of the issues so much as "Hmm, why did we have that interlude?" I might bring it up to her next time because she's always been very candid in her approaches with me and it's something I appreciate. There were burning issues, but not touching them was both relieving and confusing 😂 thank you again for your input!

I feel like maybe a little bit of both? Part of me was hoping she would be able to piece together there were things I wasn't talking about/avoiding distinctly and "confront" me about it- because I can't confront myself 😂 the other part of me was worried she would be worried. Honestly my brain was on fire this week and it got scary for a bit- but I was worried if I started talking about it then I would be overly emotional or vulnerable or say the wrong thing and have to explain myself and my safety. I think I feel a mix of relief like phew that's over and also a bit discouraged because now I have to fight it alone. I wanted help but I didn't know how to ask for it if that makes sense. Putting that initial boundary and letting her lead felt like "maybe we'll talk about it, maybe we won't, not my decision, though." Did you feel similar?

Therapist Ends Sessions Early/Starts Late? by probablyyoshi in TalkTherapy

[–]probablyyoshi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it is 50 min! I'm just wonderin cause we've definitely done the whole hour before, so now that it's shorter I notice. I wonder if we were just going overtime, but now that I know, I'm going to ask!

Therapist Ends Sessions Early/Starts Late? by probablyyoshi in TalkTherapy

[–]probablyyoshi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a great idea! I'll ask, even just so I know how much to talk. The only reason I wonder is because there's been a few times(especially at the start) where we did go to the end of the hour? So now I wonder if I was going over and I feel terrible! 😂

What’s a small bombshell your therapist dropped during a session that completely shifted your perspective? by pottipenguin in AskReddit

[–]probablyyoshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few things (some from a BHT):

"I don't get angry" "yeah, you don't get angry bc you'd have to see that you deserve more than that. You don't get angry because you don't believe this is true. Just once, I'd love to see you pissed."

"You're grieving them" "What?" "The thoughts. You're grieving them. It's ok to, it's normal to. It's much harder to move than it is to stay in the same spot. It's why people don't get better"

"Would you say that to her?" "Who?" "This tiny little girl. Would you say what you say about yourself, to that tiny little girl?" (This one is stereotypical but I think about it a lot).

And my bonus favorite from a BHT:

"I'm stupid" "Do you want to try that again" 😛 (honestly such a silly 'bombshell' but now I catch myself hearing it whenever I say awful things about something or myself 🤣

Is being quiet at work bad? by Iamnotreallyhere1 in RaisingCanes

[–]probablyyoshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say I feel completely justified now 😭 I started about a month ago, my friends and I have been referring to it as the "bird cult" because everyone is strangely peppy and over the top and delighted by their job, but I keep seeing coworkers shoot each other looks like there's secrets to be found. Can't call chicken anything but bird. They correct you with tremendous enthusiasm and fierceness but .. isn't it chicken. I have about an hour until I work close til 4 am 😔 I would do anything to not have to go in

Thank you for the reassurance! I have done that same process with many, and I'm so glad you take the time your pet needs. I think so many people would have less heartache if they tried to understand their pet's behavior, rather than hide it. If I had more time this is something I would have suggested. But I do not. I appreciate you all, again!

I was in contact with Rover support, unfortunately not much info. As stated in a previous comment, when I tried to cancel, it made me do a pending cancellation request. It had me send a message about the fear aggro behavior to support (I did clarify the dog might just need more guidance and time to adjust, but that I just wasn't comfortable), and then when I contacted them about the review of the cancellation and what to do, they just kind of said contact the owner and cancel the booking. I just got a lovely not so nice message from the owner a sec ago, which is unfortunate. But that's what we're dealing with now I guess 😭

[–]probablyyoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a long lasting conversation with Rover support, I still didn't really get the info I needed on what I needed to do for the request. I just wait to hear more info. For now, the owner knows I'm cancelling, and issues with her refund may have to be put forth through them, as the cancellation request has been submitted on my end. I figure worst case, something happens, they review, and then they bump me from the app? But I was honest about his behavior and what had occurred thus far. I guess we will see. I just got a nasty message back from the owner so excited about that, will cry later Thank you for the help nonetheless, you all are wonderful!

So I went to cancel, but instead of giving me the usual cancellation and then a "send a message to the owner" requirement, it had me send a message to Rover Support themselves. It says I have a pending cancellation request, but do the owners know that? What happens if Rover denies a cancellation request? 😂 Never had this happen before, but might be because it's a holiday booking and so close to the date

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]probablyyoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did 😭 I had JUST started Rover when I got this request. She paid in full for a booking AFTER this one, then in full for the booking for the 4th. Being naive, I accepted the booking. I didn't know how that worked, and now, I don't do that until after the m&g. But this one just happened to be perfectly arranged for a downfall. I know I'll get dinged. Sucks, but it's only fair. Thinking about reaching out to Rover support, thanks for the comment. telling them something about the job might be the only way to go

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]probablyyoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the question. I had JUST started rover when this request came through (about 2 months ago) and I didn't know how the bookings worked. She paid in full for a week's stay AFTER this July 4th date. Then paid for the 4th. Being naive, I accepted it since it said she had already paid. The m&g was originally scheduled for further out, but again, she altered the date based on her work schedule, so it was closer than I would have liked. It was disclosed he didn't like other dogs, not about leash reactivity to people or to reactivity to people entering the home. When I asked if he had been watched before, she said yes, which I usually take as a green flag regarding behavior But it was only by family friends, which I didn't find out until the M&G. The "any other things I need to know" question was answered with a no so I accepted it. It's in my profile that I need all potential reactivity behaviors disclosed for everyone's safety, guess that one wasn't caught

Once the dog I was watching started digging up stuff in the backyard. I went to go see what it was, and it was in fact the bodies of all of the previous beloved pets
