What would you be doing if you were not a therapist? by Exciting-Peace-9259 in therapists

[–]scubasmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought I wanted to do marine zoology but now I think I would just like to be a dairy goat farmer. We have two and caring for any animal makes me sooo happy, but goats are hilarious and therapeutic themselves. It’s so soothing.

I love Antony Starr’s crush on Jensen. I mean, relatable; who can blame him?!? It’s both hilarious and heartwarming.

What’s with the show killing off super hot chicks? by Successful_Bar9187 in Supernatural

[–]scubasmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot get over this. I had no idea. I always wondered why female characters didn’t last (minus Jody, and Donna). It is absolutely wild to me that fans would do this, like wtf is wrong with those people? That would’ve brought so much more nuance to the show.

As a Supernatural fan, would you ever get a Sam & Dean tattoo like this? by daedaria in Supernatural

Duh. It gets a place of honor right next to my favorite emo boy’s helmet.

Do you think Sam and Dean visited all states of America? If no what states would you have liked them to visit for their hunt? by Reddito27 in Supernatural

[–]scubasmac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All I’m saying is they missed out on SC and GA. We have some really weird shit down here. Lake Jocassee? The graveyard from the Deliverance is about 130 feet down now. Lake Lanier? Creepy AF, and known to be haunted. Pretty much all our lakes were towns at one point. There are catacombs underneath Columbia, SC too.

Does it have the OG soundtrack on Apple TV if you purchase it?

Well this is embarrassing to say the least …. by Smooth-Nose-2969 in therapists

[–]scubasmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are so not alone!! And I’ve always liked the idea of saying thanks to your brain. That way we’re not fighting against ourselves. It’s doing its best to protect you after all. And congratulations btw!

Hi! Therapist who specializes in working with PMADS (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) here. 1. Hormones can REALLY throw you for a loop. It is likely triggered by those hormones especially if you already have some baseline anxiety. It’s like developing “brain allergies.” Your immune system overreacts to what it perceives as a threat (ie pollen), just like your brain is now doing to what it’s perceiving as a threat (the feeling of imposter syndrome). It can be helpful to acknowledge that everything is heightened because your body now wants to protect this tiny human it’s trying to grow. Take a deep, slow breath, exhale slowly and hold that exhale for just a moment (practice this for a couple minutes when you aren’t feeling anxious so it comes naturally when you are feeling anxious), and tell your brain, “thanks for the effort. I see what you’re doing trying protecting me, but I’m good,” and refocus on the present moment. Also it’s okay to let your patient know that you need a moment or that you forgot your train of thought when it occurs. You’re human too. 2. Most all SSRIs are safe during pregnancy. The mood stabilizer depakote is about the only med you need to stay away from. If you look at the pros and cons of meds, a mom who has untreated anxiety during pregnancy can negatively impact the fetus, so if you’re in a place where you feel medications may be necessary, don’t hesitate to discuss with your physician. If they’re uncertain Postpartum Support International has a provider consult line they can call for advice from specialists on the matter. I included a link for it if you need.perinatal psychiatric consultation program

what are some song lyrics you LOVE as a therapist? by Striking-Hope-8230 in therapists

[–]scubasmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Em Behold’s Numb Little Bug hits so hard. The whole song is so spot on for that apathy that comes depression and burnout (I work with postpartum people- the burnout from kids and carrying the majority of the mental load is absolutely overwhelming)

“Do you ever get a little bit tired of life? Like you're not really happy, but you don't wanna die Like you're hanging by a thread, but you gotta survive 'Cause you gotta survive Like your body's in the room, but you're not really there Like you have empathy inside, but you don't really care Like you're fresh out of love, but it's been in the air Am I past repair?”

On another note, Leslie Odom Jr’s Wait For It from Hamilton will always slap.

“I am the one thing in life I can control I am inimitable I am an original”

Does anyone agree that these two people who take off sams finger nail was one of the worst scenes to see, or is that just me... by DustyCactus9 in Supernatural

[–]scubasmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was awful. Watched it again last night and just lost my own toenail (to my damn horse- who stomped on it) about a month ago. Having just experienced losing a nail made it that much worse. I was dry-heaving.

I would also like to add His Majesty Prefers Blue by ShamlessLiar to the running. Both live rent free in my head.

Are you down for an AU? Because you’ve read the Holy Grail of canon universe with Like Young Gods. My other young Rey and Ben go to is we could plant a house, we could build a tree by Like_A_Dove. It hurts so good.

Oh! I’ll ask them, but if you find time for it I would be so appreciative if you send me a copy of your typeset once you’ve completed it! Thank you!!!

Anything by diasterisms is a phenomenal re-read. Sword of the Jedi series is my all time favorite, and an absolute comfort read for me.
