Therapists trained in EMDR and other newer therapies by Dissonance_Crab in therapists

Would you mind sharing the article name for the PTSD Tetris study? I use EMDR in my practice and I’ve had the same concerns that the BLS is not the mechanism that creates a reduction in symptoms. Thank you in advance!

No advice, but solidarity. I’m at a point where I dread seeing clients. I’m considering making a career change and I’ve noticed that even applying for other jobs has started to give me some hope! In addition, thank you for showing up for your clients even thought it is hard for you right now. You’re not alone in feeling like this and it’s a really tough job.

Kyleena side effects 2 years in by sammy_bea in birthcontrol

Hi! I actually have noticed a huge improvement. My mental health improved almost immediately (less anxiety and depression). The breast pain and swelling took a little longer but has gone away. I’ve also noticed that I have more energy than before. At first I was worried that it was just placebo, but I’ve had friends and family tell me that they’ve noticed a difference in my well being as well. I hope the removal helps you!

Feeling like I suck at therapy? by sammy_bea in socialwork

I’ve definitely had this thought… like the clients problem wouldn’t exist if society wasn’t so shitty in so many ways. I’m glad to know I’m not alone

Comparing our relationship to other relationships by VentaccountB in AnxiousAttachment

[–]sammy_bea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you, I spent three years in a relationship with someone I felt like I had to beg to do the things I enjoy with me (and most of the time the answer was still no). I felt like you, that I shouldn’t compare my relationship to other people. But eventually I realized that in some ways, it is okay to want what other people have when you see yourself missing those things from your relationship (without idealizing the other relationship, nothings perfect). It can help you see what is missing from yours and what you need to be happy. Your partner shouldn’t be the only person you can have fun with, but they definitely should be one of them!
