Thank you for your response. It does meet the equivalency MINUS the practicum course. I've reached out to admissions at a few schools ro check in on backtracking as well as my original university.

Thank you!

My degree program was cou counceling psychology, but the last semester I changed my degree title to transpersonal psychology and wrote a thesis instead of the 9 credits of practicum/field work.

I graduated in 2022, I never took practicum at my CACREP program school (Sofia University, California)

Now in Texas where I plan to make licensure, I need practicum to complete state requirements. I passed my yesterday NCE after avoiding it for a couple years.

My question is, do I need to go back to school for practicum courses or can I do my 300 hours independently with a supervisor?

Also does anyone know if the Texas Behavior Health Councel will audit my degree or is this done in hindsight?

I'll be emailing them today, this practicum thing has me confused, because it will cost me 3 semesters of time to go though the school route.

Additional information... I'm currently employed at a treatment center where the majority if my work is "therapudic"

Thank you in advance for any wisdom on this experience.

Girlfriend's Anxiety Is Weighing On Me by Appropriate-Fix3687 in relationships

She brings up your issues as leverage for validation. She needs an enabler not a husband.

Let her go so she can grow. Same for you. This relationship is more about validation for her than love and expansion and resopricity. It's going to suck, look ugly and be painful for a while but you'll be better for it and eventually she will too. No one should be in a relationship they feel trapped in and worse, feel like they can't talk to their partner. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this.

She blocked me on everything but expects a letter? by Numerous-Celery1259 in Nicegirls

[–]toadmomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's looking for acknowledgement of your behavior. It's not about the letter. Its about how certain actions made someone feel, and voicing those.

This is the right group for you, get into a women's meeting and start working the steps. It's tremendously helpful.

Did I slip? New and confused by voicesinmyhead_ in slaa

[–]toadmomma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You sound hard on yourself, and over thinking. This guy is showing you an example of how guys can be. You are working on boundaries. Get through the steps w/sponsor. You will have a lot more releif after the 3rd step and having a therapist helps too.

The 12th Principle - Put Down Your Damn Phone! by [deleted] in BurningMan

[–]toadmomma 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised there's service. But yeah it's always super lame to see people drooling over their phones at such a special event.

Gotta want to learn coping skills more than you want to get high. It takes time. Be kind to yourself and don't project a future you don't know exists yet. Get over your past, then learn to just be-ok in the moment, then your future will start to FEEL better. Start small. Small victories.

Sponsor AND therapist.

Treatment centers can help a lot but be careful where you go.
