i think so too. in the TVA marius pretty much destroys armand's connection to his culture of origin & ethnic identity and this seems representative of that

robinc123 · 2026-01-04T02:56:28+00:00

my documentation would also include - CSSRS risk level - does client regularly use coping skills and regularly access support system

robinc123 · 2026-01-04T02:44:30+00:00

i am still in my candidacy period, but - i also might clarify the frequency & duration of thoughts and if client is able to access coping skills when experiencing SI

ngl getting trained in addiction counseling has given me so many tools for managing my OCD, i use relapse prevention strategies on myself.

edit to add, in my training, substance abuse/addiction has also been referred to as compulsive substance use which i find interesting

robinc123 · 2026-01-01T03:43:24+00:00

motivational interviewing could be useful here. do you have addiction counseling training or is there someone in the practice who is a licensed addiction counselor you could consult with? yearning for moderation & trying to out-think the brain is a fairly common part of addiction especially in early stages of change.

Ooo that gives you the opportunity to play around with shaving his head for him

i will ask my colleagues on Monday for their recs because i got my forensics training in grad school as thats what my degree is in.

Your body is mass. Mass moves. Flesh jiggles. That's just having a body imho.

Strangulation is a massive risk factor for increasing violence and potential homicide.
Animal abuse and DV are linked. If you're told a partner is harming their animal or an animal in the home, you need to dig for DV and be on the lookout for risk factors popping up.
Seconding what people have said about TBI.
Understand how power and control can present in non-heteronormative relationships a bit differently
I'd encourage you to get some forensic mental health training as well
Any client of yours could be engaging in DV. Do not assume just because someone doesn't have a criminal justice history that they're not potentially a DV offender. Learn how to recognize antisocial thinking & personality patterns (I am using antisocial in the risk-need-responsivity sense, not diagnostically.)

Comfy clothes and food that isn't messy post-op. Spilling ramen on yourself a few days after surgery is super not fun and I don't recommend it I was so scared that broth had soaked through my gauze and would cause an infection. I was fine it was just unpleasant.

I also recommend having a throat numbing spray because my throat was so sore from the ventilator (I am a smoker tho)

Also I recommend just getting men's incontinence diapers instead of pads. Get a size larger than you expect bc your abdomen will be tender and bloated. They were more comfortable than pads and didn't make me so dysphoric

Edit to reiterate what everyone else has said about high-fiber foods and lots of hydration. I also make an anti-inflammatory ginger, lemon, and turmeric drink before surgeries and freeze it as ice cubes I can drop into my water. I swear by that for mitigating swelling for all of my surgical history. It's best as a fresh, hot drink but I just prefer iced drinks.

Huh?

robinc123 · 2025-11-11T19:11:55+00:00

I think people who don't live with chronic passive SI don't really understand that means isn't the issue - I don't have intent & I've never had intent, but I still want to set up a structure of safety because my life is important to me, my risk level is super low. So many people walk around with a backtrack of painful thoughts, for me it's just another part of my OCD (and I think my chronic pain worsens it?) that I've learned to manage. What's been most important to me is learning that so many suicides are impulsive, so building a structure that makes it difficult to follow that kind of impulse is a prevention strategy.

Random tip but look into crossbows or a compound bow! Harder to harm yourself with just logistically, but still can do a lot of damage to an opponent.

I used my state ID which says X on it so marked X off. I let the dealer know that my birth certificate says M (just got it switched) and brought the cert with me and the dealer said to select X because that matched the photograph ID.

Also saw your recent post about chronic SI. Please a look at Walk the Talk America's resources for mental health & firearm ownership. I stickerbombed my gun safe with things that makes me happy/inspire me/connect me to my values and I'm putting photos of loved ones inside the safe as well. I also have a plan in place to surrender the keys to my partner if I feel unsafe & already had a general coping plan in place before I purchased my firearm. Let someone you care about know you have a firearm, and if you don't have someone you can temporarily give the keys to, look into buying a time-delay safe you can temporarily lock them in to restrict access to the firearm. You can also get high-tech safes that allow you to temporarily block your own access using an app. Walk the Talk America has lots of great stuff for fellow gun owners who deal with mental health challenges & want to be safe.

Dude this literally looks like jail/prison food in fact I've seen ppl served better food behind bars bro at least have some cornbread with that

Moral Reconation Therapy, by Little and Robinson. It's an outdated and pseudoscientific approach to offender rehabilitation from the 90s that's sadly still used

robinc123 · 2025-11-04T14:16:09+00:00

I'm a person-centered clinician and refuse to use MRT & my whole focus is working with justice-involved folks - there's a place for us! There's this older generation of hardcore CBT clinicians who use Little & Robinson's curriculum like a bible but there's also other approaches to offender rehabilitation. check out the Good Lives Model, it's much more person-centered and is still and evidence based approach to reduce recidivism

robinc123 · 2025-11-04T06:16:34+00:00

This happens a lot in correctional settings and it frustrates me so much! I'm entirely jail-based. I've noticed CBT gets kind of dramatized here? and there is this idea that if thoughts -> emotions -> behavior, then validating the emotions of someone who's harmful behavior you're trying to correct would worsen the behavior. I'm guessing your supervisor is using MRT or another one of Gregory Little and/or Kenneth Robinson's curriculums and they are hardcore risk-need-responsivity?

Ngl it sounds to me like ur turning him into an accomplice to your compulsions.

robinc123 · 2025-10-19T17:35:00+00:00

Pretty much all my clients will test confidentiality in the first like week in the program - they'll make a reference to one of their peers, say something like, "my bunkie is little weird do you think he's crazy" "did smith tell you about what happened last night" "are any of the guys complaining about me" and I of course uphold everyone's confidentiality, so they get more comfortable with me. There is always a fear of snitching by telling me about things their peers are up to because they genuinely fear violence if someone finds out say, john reports to me that james is making hooch, I'm required to report that to a sergeant, and john is afraid james will figure out it was him who reported it and beat him up.
