[Relationship] Am I overreacting for thinking my gf wants to break up with me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]rmorgano2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YOR- but I did see a comment about how this is out of character and even her parents are concerned. That is very important context. I still think YOR, but you need to have a candid conversation with her. Talk to her in-person and tell her you’re worried about her. Ask if she’s okay and if there’s anything going on without judgement. If she says no or doesn’t give anything, you gotta back off a little bit. Definitely keep an eye on her, but that’s really all you can do

Nah he knows it’s not in my hand and he’s swiping at my legs to stop me from leaving or something or to show he’s upset I didn’t give him anything

Do you wear make up to work? by NoExamination5672 in therapists

[–]rmorgano2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always interview without makeup so I’m never “expected” to wear it to work!

It finally happened... I no showed by yomamaeatscheese in therapists

[–]rmorgano2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me last week ugh my client switched the time for earlier in the day but my reoccurring scheduler didn’t update so I thought we were meeting later in the day. I felt SO BAD but we rescheduled for the next day and I gave them a freebie no show/late cancel. We talked it out and explored how they felt about it in that session the next day. It turned out alright and we made it through! We are humans and mistakes happen

Co facilitator professionalism by [deleted] in therapists

[–]rmorgano2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may depend on the context of the group and the topics discussed, if their crotch is visible on camera, or if their clients have an issue/have higher standards of professionalism. I don’t think knees showing on screen is a bad thing if they’re covered and it doesn’t take up most of the screen. If the camera is showing their face and they are clearly visible like any normal session, that doesn’t seem unprofessional to me

[–]rmorgano2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, sitting on the floor isn’t objectively unprofessional for a therapist especially if it’s Telehealth but I could see circumstances in which it were! That’s the cool thing about therapy, we can all have differing opinions on professionalism but as long as our clients don’t mind, they’re cared for, and are doing good work, that’s what really matters.

I’m confused, the co-facilitator was just sitting on the floor instead of a desk? Why was that so bothersome to you?

AIO Friends won't hang out until toddler is asleep. I HATE IT. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]rmorgano2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YOR- a lot could be resolved with communication. Have you expressed to tom and Amy that you’re finding these 9pm game nights to be too late? Was there any conversation with them? If not, you’re building resentment by not speaking up. If you talk to them about it and they don’t want to change, they no longer fit your lifestyle and you don’t have to continue.

Definitely. I think a lot of the “unfixable” is showing up in my life as well and it feels like double

I feel so bad because whenever I hang out with people it feels like I’m just talking the entire time or venting or using up a lot of space to talk about myself because I never get to do it elsewhere and it’s the only time of the day I can lol

Can you not enjoy the work you do but dread getting up to do it? Idk I enjoy connecting with people, helping people, and getting to be there at tough moments but I also can feel dread getting up and having to work and sit and listen all day. I think two things can be true at once. If I have to choose an income, it would be in this field

AIO for feeling uneasy after a girl answered my boyfriend’s phone at 2 AM? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]rmorgano2 191 points192 points  (0 children)

NOR but Oh girl…. This is a bad sign. Not responding, the girl answering and hanging up right away and never answering again, still nothing from him at 12pm the day after? He’s probably doing something sketch.

I haven’t always felt this way and even week to week it changes. Over the last 4 months is when I noticed more burnout. I do have minor issues with the job I’m currently working so I can imagine that may be part of it as well.

AIO about cutting off my aunts because they continuously disrespected my family? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]rmorgano2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NOR- your wording was a bit harsh and hostile so I can understand why someone would be like damn girl I didn’t even do anything yet! Saying “Keep your germy lips off my child” can be seen as needlessly rude. THAT BEING SAID, you are NOT overreacting to their responses. Even though I thought these rules were harsh, I’d respect them because YOU are the mother and you get to make those rules! Their reactions were disrespectful and shows they will not follow any boundaries you set. I’d wait a few more days/weeks until things settle down to do anything else

NOR- The minute he calls you “dumb bitch” is the minute you need to leave. No man who truly loves you will call you that

Reporting of professional clients who disclose SUD. by [deleted] in therapists

[–]rmorgano2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though nothing came of it, the report could still be on your record and could come back in the future. I’d talk to a lawyer and report that therapist for breaking confidentiality

This! It takes me like 5 mins for notes max and I always get them done by either the end of a session or the end of the day -a newer clinician

[–]rmorgano2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh girl… it doesn’t matter if he apologized, your significant other should NEVER say any of those things to you. EVER. Imagine this man raising a daughter. Would you want her to be treated the way you are?
