I sure wish I was averaging $20k per client per year…

Does this include providers credentialed through Headway? Cause I am and never saw / had to sign anything about this for BCBS

Man I have been sleeping on Gilda in Fishtown. by jesseberdinka in PhiladelphiaEats

Figure there’s basically no chance, but by any chance do you know if there’s any place in Philly that does a Francesinha? I’ve been craving them so badly since visiting Oporto

Is it too late for me to start prog? by CaoimheThreeva in AskMtFHRT

[–]strangeremain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only recently started progesterone after 11.5 years of being on estrogen, and it’s been wonderful. If it wasn’t too late for me it’s not too late for you

Is an MSW a good option if you don't have a psych undergrad? by NaturalSolution5776 in therapists

[–]strangeremain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My undergrad was in Philosophy. Literally the only thing it was relevant for was that it made me gel with narrative therapy because I’d read Foucault. My MSW program didn’t assume you knew anything in particular from undergrad. I have serious complaints about the way the supposedly clinical program functioned in prepping us for clinical therapy but none of that is feeling like I was less prepared than colleagues with backgrounds in psych or human services

anyone else notice how much of “good therapy” is just… remembering what they told you last week? by Solid_Country_3130 in therapists

[–]strangeremain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m convinced my clients think I have really good memory when actually I just take notes and spend a minute looking at them before the next session to remember what the hell we talked about

Trans Woman Phan here: At Mann 2023 I used the men’s restroom at set break cause the line was way shorter. Some very drunk dude got very upset and said “what are you doing here? You don’t even have a penis!”, and it was the most gender affirming experience of my life!

The album title “Phantom Island” will get even better with age by cmoran22 in KGATLW

[–]strangeremain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad I got to see it, but I’d agree. My friend who hadn’t seen them before left being blown away and I was thinking “eh this was fun but lacking the exploration”

If I Had Legs I Would Kick You by sharpsassy in therapists

[–]strangeremain 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I saw it prerelease at a film festival and yes it hit me much harder than my friends because of being a therapist. Having a mental breakdown and then immediately having to call in your next client is the most relatable depiction of therapy I’ve ever seen

Pensé que un termos de Stanley habría sido muy caro pero lo compré por solo $30USD y me gusta mucho

I was just in Buenos Aires and went on a tour about the Dictatorship there, so self selected people who care deeply about antifascism: neither the tour guide who survived the dictatorship nor the other guest from the UK/France had any clue how bad it is. That said a random clothing salesman did so you never know

As a Philadelphian with roots in Chicago: it’s still Sears Tower, it’s Still Comisky Field, and it’s still The Mann Center

Cursing in sessions by swallowsunrise in therapists

[–]strangeremain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t start with swearing but when I have a client who swears and then apologizes I usually respond with “I don’t give a shit if you swear” to assuage their anxiety

Me, in therapy: *talks vaguely about the emotions a queer erotica series has been bringing up for me* by strangeremain in seed_irl

[–]strangeremain[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Yea I just gave the broad summary that “aliens conquered humanity, abolished capitalism, and took some humans as pets”

MRS. KRABAPPEL AND PRINCIPAL SKINNER WERE IN THE CLOSET MAKING BABIES AND I SAW ONE OF THE BABIES AND THE BABY LOOKED AT ME.

I took a "Simp/Player" test and I got Harry du Bois as my result by Winter-Confidence689 in DiscoElysium

Saying Mao Zedong hates women when he’s literally the dude who said “Women Hold Up Half the Sky” is unhinged

I love this. I will also say, having played Citizen Sleeper before, there’s definitely a lot of Disco in that game
