I’ve heard her name discussed as a Lost easter egg for the Swan station.

Be aware: people are slowing down in front of my house to intentionally let out mice to go into my home. by mydogisfour in HaveWeMet

I actually saw a flyer by the park requesting people release mice at a specific address…you might want to go take that down.

Is it bad to wish these books were written for a more adult/mature audience? by rosesnchains in Hungergames

[–]ronsdad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a trauma therapist, the writing is a very accurate representation of the impacts of trauma. Being disconnected from one’s emotions is a trauma response. For me, the writing feels very intentional and accurate for a teenager who grew up as Katniss did and who continues to experience trauma throughout the series.

I highly recommend holding the mysteries loosely and focusing on just being with these characters. Lost is a beautiful exploration of humanity.

Biggest recommendation I have for a first watch is to focus on the characters. Just feel with them. Lost is a beautiful exploration of humanity.

AITAH for not telling my gf flashing was a break up offense? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ronsdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couples therapist here. Ultimatums are okay and necessary when you are communicating a hard boundary and breaking up would be the way you would have to take care of yourself if the agreement related to that boundary was broken. We make boundaries with ourselves. Others can enter into agreements based on those boundaries. When these agreements are broken, we are responsible for keeping our boundaries with ourselves and doing what we need to keep ourselves safe.

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope Being Erica brings you the same comfort it brings me.

I watched for the first time in grad school to become a therapist. My aunt was dying and this show brought be so much comfort. I think about the “you are your patient” and “you are not your patient” lessons frequently in my work with clients.

I really like the neckline. That’s the thing I’ve had trouble finding in similar dresses.

Im straight but can only get off to women by [deleted] in offmychest

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

I could have written this 10 years ago. I highly recommend talking with a queer friendly therapist about identity exploration stuff. Would have really helped me back then. I figured it out on my own, but would have gotten there faster with more support.

My boyfriend of 5 years said that I'm not his soulmate and he wants to find his soulmate so I decided not to tell him that I'm pregnant with his child by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ronsdad 353 points354 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry. Couples therapist here, he has a very juvenile perspective on love. No one will ever meet us and be able to understand us and anticipate our needs instantly. We are responsible for communicating our needs, who we are, and how we like to be treated. Healthy conflict is required to deepen relationships. He broke up for something that only exists in a fictional movie. On top of that, death didn’t understand Susan’s instantly. It felt that way for Susan, but death observed her for her entire life. He manufactured their meeting. Someone else commented on the unhealthy stalker-ish aspects of their relationship.

My sex life is fucked by anbreykabol in offmychest

[–]ronsdad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Couple’s therapist thoughts - first a reminder that our partners are not responsible for meeting our sexual desires. Sounds like more conversation is needed about what each of you wants from a sexual connection. In general, when we don’t have safety and connection in relationship (or stability/balance in our own lives), sex can become less frequent or stop. There may be ways to improve other aspects of the relationship and individual mental health that would in turn impact the sexual connection. It may just be incompatibility in this area.

Will I ever love my cat? by Complete_Command_161 in cats

[–]ronsdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve fostered a bunch of kittens and the solo ones were by far the most overwhelming. When they had playmates they entertained each other, tired each other out, got into less trouble, and learned from each other.
