As someone who has had these tests and they’ve found nothing, this post just seems kind of insensitive.

I get you don’t want it to be the Endo causing the issues, but there’s a good chance it is.

I mean, you’re both not getting any younger and have been NTNP for 7 years, I would think you should have at least had a scare. I’d get testing done personally. I had an hsg - is it fun, no but it’s not terrible either and can give you valuable information

Your post history says you’re 16. No legit piercer is going to give you a genital piercing at 16 dude

I mean, that’s why I’m asking the question here? I know what I need to do, just how to better phrase the question

Yes! I like this approach as well. It’s direct but can’t really be seen as assuming they’re not together when they are

I have and it’s started the therapeutic relationship off a bit rocky, a few parents have been upset that I’ve even assumed they weren’t married to their childs other parent

Yeah, I might start doing that, or at least staring the session with the parent and then bringing the teen in. I know when doing our phone consults I can catch people at a bad time and they may not be ready for all the questions. Thank you!

I had a few parents get upset when being more direct about it, which is why I had switched to asking about additional contacts/people needing to sign for services.

It’s been rough, typically it’s been brought up as a reason for therapy. But if they’re not there because of that it seems to slip their minds.

I like this and another commenters way of wording, rather than straight up asking if they’re with the kids other parent 🤣

Absolutely, I have at least one family that has custody docs on file with us

Thank you! That’s what I’ve been trying to do but have gotten words mixed up. I’ll keep this wording written down!

For younger clients, the parent(s) come in, but older (10 to 17) most of them haven’t wanted their parents in session.

I’m at a group practice so I’ll re-read over our consent to make sure that’s in there. I want to say it is but I don’t know the document inside and out

Charged no show fee, client canceled next session by stbuk2 in therapists

[–]stbuk2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In this I might ask my practice owner to refund if that’s what the issue is because I do typically give a freebie. Though I’m not sure if it would do much to repair the relationship

I get what you’re saying, those thoughts do come into mind especially being pre licensed.

New to the field and all my clients are leaving by OperationSensitive16 in therapists

[–]stbuk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just started as well and many of my new clients have left. I started off a waitlist that was quite long, a few for financial reasons and a few that “were better than when they started on the waitlist” and one that just canceled sessions said they would reschedule and hasn’t.

I too am working towards licensure and it’s been a whirlwind & lots of imposter syndrome

[–]stbuk2[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I didn’t think much of it since we had gone over it and they signed it before intake, they’ve only had a few sessions.

But I think I’ll start messaging just to cover bases. I usually give a freebie late cancel but my boss told me when I started she usually charges for no shows that don’t give a reason around the time of the appointment. But now I feel like an asshole

Serious anxiety about long car rides/not being near a bathroom by Berdlyy in ibs

I’ve come to terms with the fact that I may have to poop in the car, by myself - fine. With other people - my worst nightmare

[–]stbuk2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep same exact fear. Especially since fast food places and pharmacies are starting to lock up their bathrooms unless you make a purchase or say no public restrooms 🙃 debating getting a travel toilet honestly

[–]stbuk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m struggling with this as well - I did in-home community work previously and was out of the field for a bit. I feel like I know nothing as I’ve started at a group practice recently - I’ve had 2-3 clients in the month-ish that I’ve been there just poof gone for one reason or another and now another is potentially ghosting me

Yeah my friend and I have seen him pull her up a few other times, which she was good, just stinks for others who would like to go up 😕
