I am down for a more positively focused therapist subreddit. For myself, when I encounter challenges in my work or if I’m feeling some type of way about things, I want to constructively work through it rather than vent/ complain.
Although I’m not a DBT therapist, I recently learned that I have pretty much been practicing radical acceptance with myself since around 2015-2016. Prior to this, when things happened that I did not like, I would “lose my shit” and the emotions would take over. For example, I had this car that constantly had challenges and I would stress me out. I would feel stuck, overwhelmed and complain. Over time, I learned that this cycle doesn’t work and actually made things worse. The only thing I could do was accept the situation and move forward. I realized that I had to accept that the car wasn’t able to be fixed and that I needed to find other options for transportation. I ended up learning to take public transit and overall things worked themselves out.
This simple experience over the course of time has had a multiplicative positive impact on my life. It’s resulted in me putting my efforts in where I can, accepting things sometimes don’t work out, and when accepting this I am able to get unstuck and make positive movement
My current setting has changed. We previously had a No Show policy (communicated in the informed consent and first session) that sessions are no shows at the 15 mark if the client hasn’t arrived. If the client no showed we would send a standard message that explained the session was marked as a no show. It also explained how to reschedule (through front office staff) and that if they hadn’t rescheduled within two weeks we would close the file. Apparently, someone didn’t like the file closure policy because it seemed mean or threatening (when it wasn’t). Now we don’t have this process for file closures and it’s uncomfortable for me. I used to really like my site but think I’m going to go into private practice once I get my final level of licensure
I notice in your post OP that you are saying you feel more confident in your life since starting a cycle yet you haven’t asked others if they notice a change in your behavior (which seems like a lack of confidence in my opinion). They don’t have to know that you are taking steroids but you can still ask people if they have noticed any changes in you in the last 2 months.
If your CPAP isn’t comfortable you can always call your sleep doctor or the CPAP company to ask to try a different fixture. Mine works pretty well. The only issue I had when I first got the humidifier would lead to water build up in my mask (even on the lowest humidity) which would result in me waking up in the middle of the night. I then just decided to stop using water for the chamber and turning off the feature. I haven’t had issues since
Thanks for updating this. I think the improved lighting helps. If you look at the start of the video it seems like the bottom curves like a tail. I’m assuming this is a dog’s tail and the dog is walking happily around the table.
NTA. You were married under false understandings of the person you were wedding. He lied to you about core aspects of
What do you mean? A lot of my symptoms have improved.
I’ve actually been tracking my symptoms with my own subjective rating scale. I think the weight gain may have been related to Effexor, which I’m currently titrating off of.
Male here, bidets are a real game changer for anal hygiene.
I’ve been on it since late January. I do mine on Tuesdays. I feel like my energy and other symptoms have moderately gotten better over time. I plan to go up to 100mgs/ weekly when I see my urologist again.
What was your t levels before TRT? Mine was between 144-240 ng/dL.
I’m on 75mgs of Xyosted/ weekly. I wonder if the dosage isn’t being taken at the appropriate interval
That mom needs to go to therapy.
I honestly think the moderators need to remove the posts where people are just asking if they are ugly/ attractive. It’s not helpful for random people on the internet to just give them subjective answers. Plus, reinforcing/ reassurance for those with body dysmorphia doesn’t do anything.
The thing that’s interesting about those shades on the moon is that tu seems less impacts have occurred there. Does the moon have active volcanoes?
2000 seems too high and could be contributing to your side effects of hair loss.
What I’ve done is been intentional about tracking my symptoms since I started in January. Things have slowly improved over time.
I manage my social meter by taking plenty of naps. I will sometimes nap during my lunch hour if I’m not hungry. It tends to help me reset.
I recommend working with your psychiatrist to taper off. I’m currently tapering off of Effexor with my psychiatrist’s guidance and it’s not been bad.
Has the person mentioned, if you are on a medication for bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, it’s not a good idea to stop. If you aren’t finding the medications helpful, I recommend letting your psychiatrist know.
Hey there OP, I’m not sure if this has been suggested but this could be something. So I am in a same sex relationship with my partner and during our time together I have become more uncomfortable in my body due weight shifts. This has led me to be less interested in actual sex because I feel unattractive (although my partner has not mentioned this).
Chiming in for cisgender males here (I’m gay though). I think men should also try hobbies that they have avoided because of concerns related to it being feminine. I have been reconnecting with relaxing art activities like coloring and diamond paintings after work and it’s been so nice to just decompress with these.
That’s really awesome to hear! Relationships that fulfill our needs are great!
I don’t want to be “that guy” though and at the same time I worry when I see posts like this. It seems like a lot of people feel empty when they don’t have a romantic partner. On some level the desire for connection is really important because we are wired for that. The downside to this is that we can often not connect with ourselves which can lead us to feeling incomplete without a special person. For many cis het men who don’t feel connected to even friends, I think this expands to them feeling driven to “acquire” things to feel complete.
There might be free support groups.
My thought is that she has past unresolved hurts around her experience. This narrative can reinforce itself and also be a big motivator for those that become successful. The sad part is that acquiring success doesn’t ever really fulfill what the person is looking for.
I have been enjoying diamond paintings. They are relaxing and I easy to pass the time with in my opinion. My only recommendation is to get a storage kit for The drills so you can have them set up for easy access
What are some hobbies that you can instantly do when you want?
