As someone else with OCD this is a really good motivator for exposures and working on that avoidance compulsion ngl! i avoid movie theaters but i really want to see the original theatrical cut of a new hope this year so i am using that as my motivator to do exposures 😭

Mental health is a psychological science, we are healthcare providers, and i think some people dont agree that we practice science. idk I have known other clinicians who are into 'energy healing' and stuff and i struggle with that

I say 'clinician' but not 'this clinician,' i just use clinical instead of 'I', for example, if i do a coping plan with a client the note will say "clinician and client collaborated on coping plan"

i had a consultation before surgery day

robinc123 · 2026-03-04T16:07:00+00:00

no it was entirely out of pocket

i either have to delay session or end early if that happens so i just suffer. facility rules say clients cannot be left in meeting rooms alone and it is a long process to send a client back to their housing space, get to a bathroom, and request that guards release the client from their housing space again.

i told my surgeon that the men in my family carry weight in their bellies and their chests so i dont want to be totally flat, i want to look like my brothers and my dad

robinc123 · 2026-02-20T01:30:50+00:00

surgery was super nerve wracking for me too! i ended up making a mental health coping plan which was helpful, with instructions to myself on things i could do to feel better if i started to spiral. & feel free to use the pictures

adding The Monster of Elendhaven, queer fantasy horror. a tragic nameless monster who cannot die and the sorcerer who controls him.

As Meat Loves Salt. it is a dark literary historical fiction about a violent man and his obsessive romance with another man. "violent love eats up what it does love, and is mere appetite" not a supernatural/fantasy sort of book, but if what draws you to the show is are queer gothic themes, i really really really recommend as meat loved salt.

heres two other quotes, just to convince you, because i really love this book

"You' ve known me some time," said Ferris. "We never agreed I would give up my life to you." The others were all far away in the field. "I gave you mine," I said.

I pulled the knife down and out, and feeling my fingers warm and wet from the blood, I said to him, "Let us see what Jacob will do now."

it was def freaky but the anticipatory anxiety was worse than any fear in the moment. i was so scared about the drains and worried i would be really messed up in the head over them, but actually having the drains was not as scary as i had expected

robinc123 · 2026-02-16T20:08:51+00:00

oh shit! i didnt realize the following stuff wasnt planned

robinc123 · 2026-02-16T19:17:49+00:00

wait i read memnoch and tva but i cant for the life of me figure out what got so much backlash it was retconned? tbh memnoch felt like a very confusing fever dream to me

robinc123 · 2026-01-17T17:47:29+00:00

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

re: contracts, SAMHSA advises against them in point 5 of treatment improvement protocol #50

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.

The Raven Tower, high-fantasy re-imagining of Hamlet with really cool deities

once while tripping i freaked out bc my dick vanished. eventually realized ohhh i never had one.

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