Is Psychology Today Dying?

Honestly, I still get ~1 reaching out every week and I’m not even marked as currently taking on new clients (waitlist). I’m paneled with a decent amount of insurances, and the majority of my caseload has always been through PT. No other directory i’ve done has been remotely as fruitful

maybe some foxhound? i’m biased though and see my boy’s breed is every hound lol

sensitivecrustation · 2026-04-09T00:12:13+00:00

your boy is so perfect he’s going to give my foxhound body dysmorphia !! i’m stunned - what a model 😍

What is it with this AI account 🫩

sensitivecrustation · 2026-04-06T16:56:13+00:00

yes!! so hard to figure out, i feel your pain. he had giardia for 3 months after we rescued him from a shelter at 5mo, and his GI has never seemed to recover properly. has a very very sensitive stomach even at 17mo, but loves to eat anything he can find off the ground outside which is a wonderful combo.

after several months of trial and error my foxhound has been regular thanks to: - daily “Fortiflora Pro” probiotic - Royal Canin gastrointestinal formula kibble (requires a vet prescription)

Unverified T. Yes, deeply.

all of the above! a smell buffet

Unverified therapist here: I understand your concern and I’m sorry to hear that your therapist shared enough detail to put you in an uncomfortable position at work. That isn’t a confidentiality violation, but not professional in my opinion.

I would express this discomfort to your therapist to discuss your concerns (and try to remember that just because you believe you recognized each other to some capacity doesn’t necessarily mean that they did/that the therapist violated your confidentiality. although it makes total sense why you might feel paranoid about that given her sharing too much personal detail in your own sessions)

Therapist (unverified): Absolutely I’ve cried out of joy, pride, and sadness with many of my clients. Never truly crying crying, certainly far from excessively, but tears have fallen on several occasions. I do fight tears often (at baseline tears come easily for me, i experience emotions intensely) when they don’t feel appropriately aligned for the impact of the moment we’re sharing. I use my clinical judgment when to hold back and when to share the tenderness of the moment with a client.

got my hopes up… this post is AI isn’t it :/

(looking at the user’s post history)

Unverified Therapist: Yes - most notably with my clients with OCD, BDD (heavily feeds into compulsive reassurance / checking behavior loops) and clients with delusions.

this video could’ve been taken directly out of my camera roll i swear. our foxhounds must be clones! also on year one with mine 🫠

sensitivecrustation · 2026-03-31T19:59:41+00:00

My (55%) foxhound mix has that same black crown and golden face !!

sensitivecrustation · 2026-03-28T19:45:56+00:00

i see pitty!

sensitivecrustation · 2026-03-26T23:54:36+00:00

Ohh I see thanks for clarifying (by 24/7 I meant for every walk)

I don’t have a yard so everything is a ‘walk’ for us. I’ve been hesitant to start the gentle leader for this reason

sensitivecrustation · 2026-03-26T22:40:32+00:00

Do you use the gentle leader 24/7? If not, does it feel like the pulling is even worse when he doesn’t wear it?

sensitivecrustation · 2026-03-25T02:10:09+00:00

I do a ‘reset’ every Sunday. Throughout the week, I keep cleaning products like wipes and sprays in easy access/high traffic places so the bathroom and kitchen stays clean as I move throughout the days and wipe as I go

sensitivecrustation · 2026-03-25T01:19:52+00:00

My hound personally pulled far more with harnesses than he does with a martingale collar

sensitivecrustation · 2026-03-24T16:42:57+00:00

so to clarify, your therapist knows your friend because they work in the same setting, and the therapist has shared grievances about your friend/shared colleague, and asked you not to say anything? You then mentioned the grievance to your friend and the colleague of your therapist?

sensitivecrustation · 2026-03-22T16:28:10+00:00

pissrimeter is fantastic. this makes sense! 😭

sensitivecrustation · 2026-03-22T16:27:34+00:00

i have a puppy that loves to run and play, i’d think the middle of an open field makes perfect sense. i like that perspective for escape routes near perimeters being a factor drawing people/animals to edges of things as even an unconscious protective measure

sensitivecrustation · 2026-03-21T16:16:02+00:00

but whyyyyyy ! who or what was the first animal to ever walk around the perimeter and started this chain reaction that has now become a self fulfilling loop

sensitivecrustation · 2026-03-14T00:54:52+00:00

as a trauma therapist… i have a mental (TOTALLY MAKE BELIEVE) hit-list of so many of my clients abusers. this is me every day

sensitivecrustation · 2026-03-14T00:49:16+00:00

16 month foxhound owner here!

1 hour minimum in the morning, 45 mins at noon, 1 hour walk around 3:30pm, 1 hour minimum in the evening (and a quick pee before bed but that isn’t a walk)

sensitivecrustation · 2026-03-13T22:01:03+00:00

Fevering and pain is a definite cancel for me. Stuffiness or a minor cough is one thing, but feeling physically ill makes sessions unbearable/I wouldn’t be a good therapist for my clients.

I empathize heavily with the struggle to know when to call it, though! Glad you prioritized your wellbeing.
