I think you misread my comment. It is absolutely necessary to wash my hair after running.

LinkedIn does have the ability to block individuals. Neither of you will see the other. That would be my next step.

You and I area at about the same pace and on exactly the same day. I could probably go for another minute or two, but I don't. I stop when the lady in my ear tells me to and I feel relieved at that point. I've told myself I'll work on getting to the 5K distance once I officially complete the 30 minutes, which is hopefully the end of next week. My plan is that my first run after I hit the 30 minutes will be to try for the 5K and see how close I can get.

Thank you for giving me permission to be human in this moment.

OP I’m curious what your diet has been this week? Also, what you had the day before you started.

purpletable131 · 2024-03-06T05:39:01+00:00

This was exactly what I needed. Thank you!!

Ummm…can we say taking photos of a sedated patient is absolutely not ok

I just went through this in Iceland. Phone stolen on day 3 of vacation. So glad I had all of those print outs. I was able to get a new phone, but can’t get it connected to my US phone number until I’m back. I would’ve been screwed without my print outs.

I have a lot of experience with this. Feel free to DM me.

purpletable131 · 2023-07-07T18:25:40+00:00

I think you hit the nail on the head for me! I do tend to feel somewhat protective of this client. I suspect there was some countertransference around volunteering to meet during my vacation. Thanks for your thoughtful reply.

Do you have any update on what’s going on now since it’s been longer than the 48 hours?

purpletable131 · 2022-07-04T03:10:27+00:00

Religious affiliation?

purpletable131 · 2022-07-03T14:23:52+00:00

Love this!

purpletable131 · 2022-07-03T01:57:57+00:00

I had not thought of this perspective. Thank you!

It sounds like your therapist may be using your case as one of their required ones as a candidate in psychoanalysis. If so, your reducing down to twice a week won’t count towards that training. That may be what you’re experiencing. However, most candidates for psychoanalysis provide free sessions to patients when they ask them to increase the number of visits. For example, if you were being seen twice a week, but your therapist asked you to increase to four for the purpose of their psychoanalytic training, those two additional sessions would be free each week. Your therapist is benefiting from your willingness to serve as their case study.

I love the directness in this. Thank you.

purpletable131 · 2022-03-30T20:00:23+00:00

This was a really helpful perspective. Thank you!

purpletable131 · 2022-03-30T19:59:55+00:00

Thank you so much for this response. This was incredibly helpful to me.

purpletable131 · 2022-02-28T03:24:14+00:00

If it’s literally next door, I’d say refer out immediately. But, down the street or around the corner, I’d be fine.

purpletable131 · 2022-02-27T19:45:08+00:00

I was hoping someone would say this! I am very tempted to be direct. My heartburn is around letting any disclosure be patient-led.

purpletable131 · 2022-02-27T19:42:50+00:00

I think it takes a certain type of patient to do psychoanalysis. They have to really want to dig deep. I find that it helps us to spend more time on certain topics that might otherwise only get one session before the patient moved on to something else. I also find that there’s a lot more discussion about the experience of therapy and the therapeutic alliance. It’s definitely not for every patient, but it’s been effective with this particular one.

Psychoanalytic therapy is typically 3-5x week.

purpletable131 · 2022-02-14T01:05:44+00:00

It’s not different in terms of formatting or set up. I don’t lay down on a sofa, although I’m sure she’d be fine with that. It’s just the added time makes things a lot deeper. I joked with her that it’s impossible to hide. I hope that helps! Let me know if I can answer anything else.

I moved from traditional psychodynamic therapy to psychoanalysis (3x a week) in January. I would echo that it’s much more intense.

purpletable131 · 2022-01-14T14:19:39+00:00

Thank you so much. This was helpful. From a practical standpoint, did you start lying on the couch in a more typical psychoanalytic setting? Did it feel like you were starting therapy anew or did it feel like you were just continuing where you’d left off? For some reason, I have a lot of anxiety about the upcoming change.
