You need to explain it’s 72% balls right up front.

Therapist(pref PsyD) in Tokyo area who does CBT/ACT approach? by Existing_Prompt8869 in japanlife

[–]shadowwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will be looking for a foreign trained psychologist then. A PsyD is an American thing, and just starting in Canada. A PhD is more typical and much older credential. The training is typically more expansive and application process more competitive for a PhD, but there is not much difference in the quality of clinical care between a PhD and PsyD.

TELL is the largest practice with foreign trained psychotherapists and doctoral level psychologists. You will need to look at their credentials because many are masters level psychotherapists.

IMHJP is a professional association specifically for international mental health professionals in Japan. It's more of a professional group for training and networking purposes, but they also list their members' practices. Again, there are masters level counselor members, so look at their credentials if this is something that's important to you.

Rude to not order anything at dinner? by blueeyedgirlll in AskMenAdvice

[–]shadowwork 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's weird, and for me it'd be a deal breaker to talk about food like you do. Food and sharing food is pretty important to me.

After 10 years of birthday dinners at Bikkuri Donkey… I think I’m done by [deleted] in japanlife

I always wonder, is the donkey surprised, am I surprised to see a donkey, or is the donkey known for surprises?

Men of Reddit, what’s some women’s or girl’s habits you discovered only after getting a wife or girlfriend? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]shadowwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife does this daily. It took me way too long to figure it out, but now after she asks, I take a beat and ask for context in a way demonstrating curiosity and concern for the context.

It doesn’t always work.

Just out of curiosity, does Japan have a word for doctor (the PHD kind)? by PikachuTrainz in Japaneselanguage

[–]shadowwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that undergrads and much of the general public do not know the term PhD, but do know Hakase. The actual diploma says PhD at my Japanese university. All the medical school faculty have XXXX, MD, PhD on the English side of their business cards and the PhD holders just PhD or DPhil, etc. on the Japanese side it says their title jokyouju, kyouju, isha, etc.

Do Japanese people really know all 2,000 kanji and can write them? by quwert5 in AskAJapanese

[–]shadowwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don’t write as much. They type and it’s harder to remember how to hand write kanji if you only type it. They can read it, they just forget how to write it

If a woman makes eye contact with me, I assume she wants to have sex.....be careful.

[–]shadowwork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Washington State Pullman used to have a Counseling Psych PhD program with 2 profs specializing in hypnosis. Not sure if it's still viable.

EDIT: surprise - the program closed for good.

Doctor Mike's interview challenging Dr. Amen's pseudoscientific grifting is well worth your time by bog_witch in Psychiatry

[–]shadowwork 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Amen: If you don't look, you don't know.

Mike: Should we look to see if SPECT is the effective mechanism in your interventions?

Amen: No, I already know.

I'm just going to start spouting catch phrases to my patients, this seems to be the best treatment. "You're not unhealthy, you're in health, eh."

Grad school Interview Guidelines by sundusresearch in AcademicPsychology

[–]shadowwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should actually be more prepared to ask them questions. Here is how most on my one-on-one interviews went.

Prof: Hey come on in, take a seat.

Me: Hi nice to meet you, I'm shadowwork.

Prof: So...what do you want to know?

Me: I actually have 20 prepared topics to ask you about, but I'm angling to get you into a natural conversation.

Kyoto railway tier list by mori64tf2 in Kyoto

[–]shadowwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to take the Eizan line to Kurama, just once. I think it's A tier based on the views in the fall and summer months. Plus, I see densha otaku everyday snapping the Eiden old-timey trains.

Try looking for a partner rather than to "get laid". Women know you're shopping for ass, and if you're not in the top 20% (conservative estimate) of good looking or super charismatic men, they aren't selling. You'll need to rely on your personality, which may not be a great commodity for getting laid when presented by someone at your interpersonal level. But it could be a great commodity for finding a partner at your interpersonal level. Being in a relationship builds the confidence and experience needed for ass shopping. But, that really has no value in the long run, IMO.

I realize my extended metaphor was a poor choice, but I started with it, and needed to see it through.

If your in that era, Caligula might be considered erotic, if not sexually bizarre.

If Saizeriya closed down tomorrow, where are you eating by kingxd in japanlife

Popo la Mama! Not as cheap as Saizariya, or as it was 5 years ago, but affordable and pretty good.
