THEY LET US TAKE THEM, it’s not stealing!!

The new Netflix series about the Nazis was so on point for our current experience; right now to the people saying that we should look the other way, not make waves, probably don’t really understand the issues, etc. chilling.

Right? I dropped watching the news, FB, IG, and I still can’t get away from that shit. A life unaffected by healthcare, immigration, the economy or birth control options sounds GREAT!

I used to be an Independent. I used to feel safe being an independent.

Coooooolsies. I bet you don’t spend a lot of time with that neighbor.

Well that’s nice. I was so glad when the “FUCK BIDEN TRUMP 2024” signs next door, facing my house, came down that I almost cried. Sure, the flag is hung upside down and at half mast, but people driving by can miss that.

Then I realized that all the rage that was being openly spewed will now be bottled up and ruminated over. Which is scary.

He’s a pretty knowledgeable guy, maybe Chappell based the character on this picture.

Places you couldn’t pay me enough money to take my child (or myself).

I have insight timer, but I get lost in it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂. No. I won’t. Thanks for offering the opportunity tho.

I didn’t know I could change it, and it was kinda cute.

These are so lovely - I’m utterly torn between one and two

Oh my gosh, that sounds perfect! What a generous practice - thank you!!

I’m so sorry for your loss. She was beautiful.

Not one gawddamned thing, because one is a convicted criminal who tried to raise a coup to take over the country, and his “campaign” should not be taken seriously. Nor should he be allowed anywhere near the acting president.

And the other one is the only other realistic choice, so he doesn’t gaf what we think of his campaign, he’s just convincing us not to vote for the criminal (who shouldn’t be allowed to run).

Yay. Freedom. Democracy.

Hoses or sprinklers maybe. Shoes. Jeans. Winter coats. The cheap version isn’t going to be as good as the expensive one, but you can get along fine.

This is an absolutely brilliant idea. I don’t get good notes if I’m doing family systems work, because the session needs so much active attention…but this would probably offer a lot of insight to my one on ones.

I used to do this when I worked for Worker’s Comp, and I didn’t write any of that after they left; I wrote a very brief mental health status and session review. It’s no one’s business what was said, and if it’s not documented, you cannot make me share it. Sometimes, that’s incredibly important.

I remembered their stories and what was happening with each of them because to me, they aren’t just work…they’re people. They’re my co-workers. I couldn’t do anything without them and the data they bring. So just like you remember what was happening last time you saw Sue at the water station (metaphorically), I see your face and remember what’s been up with you.

The writing notes helps me focus because I have ADHD, but I rarely go back to look at them. Maybe to grab a detail or confirm a pattern. I remember because my clients need help, and they asked me…and I care.

I’m a therapist, and I take notes digitally. None of my clients have ever asked to see them, but I’d send them for sure if they asked. I’ll guard them with my life from anyone else, but client and I are on the same team. Any way I can help, I will.

I’ve definitely read notes back to clients.

Have you not seen them banning abortion and birth control? Our government is going to do what every bad leader since the beginning of time has tried to do; force engagement in their program.

But low birth rates aren’t only happening here…it’s worldwide. And I’m not entirely sure why we’re freaking out about it; the world has been way over populated for decades. We need to slow down.

I think I just consider it as an underlying condition; this is someone I’m going to quickly document safety plans with, I’m going to be detailed in my notes, I’m going to hold my boundaries with…and I’m going to give unconditional positive regard, full attention and my utmost respect, like I would any client. It also means I’m going to lean harder into DBT, making the client responsible for their own emotional regulation and communication, and stressing room for accountability.

It’s their personality; unless they came to me asking me to, I’m not trying to shift that. I’m trying to understand what the world looks like from their eyes and what’s causing pain, so we can shift position and change that. If that makes sense.

Um, yes, OP … turns out that I am Bri, and I’m really gonna need those cookies now. Please.

City beat.

Tattoo rhythm.

The Heart.

Do you just intuitively know what they (your thoughts) are? I am so sorry, I’m not trying to be difficult - this is the oddest, coolest thing to me and I want to be able to imagine it.
