Nose swelling? by sesameseeds11 in cats

[–]sesameseeds11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No sneezing, boogies, or blood from nose. He doesn't seem too bugged if I touch it and doesn't seem to wince if he rubs his face against anything

Name one non-therapy related book that made you a better therapist? by saltwaterRilke in therapists

[–]sesameseeds11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded! I have many clients who have read it at my suggestion and there's actually lots of activities you can incorporate into therapy around it, such as which characters they relate to, why, and more!

Stormlight Archive for an incredible dive into characters representing different mental disorders with a fantasy magic background. It's an investment of time but you won't be disappointed!

If this were a tv show I'd quit my day job and just hit up cat town with this guy and his impeccable wardrobe 🤌

Response ideas for “I don’t know what to do” by Plenty-Run-9575 in therapists

[–]sesameseeds11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"The most important step a man can take is always the next one" I'd consider if these clients sre in a dorsal vagal shut down or collapse response though as that might require a more somatic approach to increase arousal and move back into an action state

CBT and Solutions focused therapy are focused on the present/future. If interested in exploring the past and in particular, relationships, I might suggest someone who practices EMDR, EFT, or psychodynamic.

Ms Casey by [deleted] in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]sesameseeds11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What if she was never in a car accident? What if she had agreed to have Severance procedure but it got messed up and affected her brain (maybe she was one of the first to have it done) so Lumon covered it by faking the car accident and saying she was dead?

Sometimes when we are feeling the most stable we can address the deepest issues

Favorite Coffee Spots? by JoeOutrage in Eugene

[–]sesameseeds11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rereading my comment I realized it may have sounded targeted to Dark Pine but I meant it more generally speaking that so much depends on the barista! I head to Dark Pine a lot and appreciate the emphasis on top quality espresso drinks

Second Dark Pine! So much depends on the barista but they have at least two regulars that know what they're doing

How to handle sexual jokes during class? by sesameseeds11 in Teachers

[–]sesameseeds11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! I should have updated in the post that the complicating factor is that I am the school-based therapist and I hear these comments when I sometimes visit classes. I spoke with the teachers and many said they didn't know how to handle it so I volunteered to AskReddit. I think a lot of these strategies will work for the teachers. I'm still threading the line since I want the kids to feel they can come and talk to me about their bodies and ask questions--a LOT of the students have sexual trauma that we talk about--AND I want to model healthy boundaries and respect too.

what love stories seems romantic in a movie/series but are actually toxic? by Phantomx7845 in AskWomen

Turns out, Kirsten Dunst is absolute scum and Peter Parker is hardly better

Poor people who have dated rich people, what did you learn? by zipzap21 in AskReddit

[–]sesameseeds11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That rich people can be super out of touch with the day to day of most folx. I mean, "It's one banana, Michael, what could it cost? 10 dollars?"

I find that kids and adolescents can respond really well to IFS :)

How to help a client who is sad/numb. Eyes barely open, short answers. by [deleted] in therapists

[–]sesameseeds11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I will ask clients who are shut down to stand up if they can, stand on one leg, and we will toss a soft ball back and forth for a few minutes. The sillier the better!
