I'm pretty damn sure that other than the notion of "reinforcing a behavior consistently helps form it and sporadically helps lock it in," I will NEVER use any of these words in my actual work.
Also, does your #mentalHealth#therapist need to know the words homoscedasticity and heteroscedasticity? Probably not unless they're planning on being a spelling champion. I've read a bazillion research papers these past few years and have never seen them.
For those who aren't familiar, in the US, the Social Work Test and the #NCE basically cover the same material (lots of YouTube study guides cover both in one). So I suspect they have similar flaws too.
Trying to recoop after getting triggered last night from something completely insignificant
To my #CPTSD it was the end of the world and I just collapsed mentally hyperly aware of how ridiculous it would look to anyone else not feeling what my nervous system was feeling
This is my life as a #TraumaSurvivor and today I'm paying for it with 11/10 physical pain
Outside taking a chance on a new #therapist looks like nothing, taking a chance to tell a friend I am fucked up and need help looks like nothing, taking a chance and trusting anything or anyone even myself looks like nothing
The truth is I'm moving mountains with an #invisibleIllness that I battle everyday and as my physical body grows weary with lack of food and safety it only makes the battle more steep and intense
Dalilah was my mom's only companion when I was out working 13-14 hrs a day, a bulk of that was travel on 3-4 buses
From 2015-2021 Mom only had Dalilah to talk with and she gave her so much joy and warmth
Mom's not been the same since we had to say goodbye 03.11.22 Mom knew my bun was sick but didn't understand she wasn't going to wake up again that afternoon until it happened...
She kept trying to punish and #manipulate me until she threatened to have me #swatted and I blocked her
My hopes are to report her to the board once I gain financial stability
I'm not sure what goal I had with sharing all this except that having an #ESA (emotional support animal) is really important for many who have various types of mental health needs
I'm beside myself, I have never hated someone so much in my life. My ex-client, who by the way, was also my #therapist when she hired me just had the most disgusting #hypocrisy sending me $25 tip when she is the fucking c*nt who put my family and myself in danger.
Iowa Senate File 538- gender transition procedures related to minors strips providers of Medicaid funding from Sept 18 forward and doesn't allow Medicaid to be used by clients for gender affirming treatment. If a counselor has a transgender client, and has used the gender dysphoria code and many others (7 pages of ICD codes) then they will be retroactively stripped of funding. I am so angry for clients and for providers. As a clinician, I feel so mad that states are telling transgender youth in lower SES that they can't be who they truly are, and now they can't even talk to a counselor. I just can't. @socialwork@Email2TootBot#SocialWork#psych#psychology#iowa#lgbtqia#transgender#transgenderrights#counseling#counselor#therapist#therapy
I decided to ask my psych for admission to an outpatient ward and he said it was a great idea. Among the activities I could choose #musicotherapy, with a great group and a passionate #musician and #therapist. I discovered there #kalimba. I loved it so much, my mom offered me one for christmas. I just wouldn't stop playing. Three months after, my mom gifted me a cheap #synthesizer, which is huge given how little money we have. I couldn't use it as a synth, but could use it to play #piano
Many victims of violence warned me that the social support, therapy and medical systems were used as eugenics to abuse people of color and to also abuse any powerless victim. I didn't fully understand how right they were. #abuse#medicine#hospital#nursing#therapist#socialwork#racism
Friends, I need your help. My partner is suffering a sudden medical emergency - on top of chronic #endometriosis, #PCOS, and #LongCOVID, she's just been diagnosed with serious #thyroid and #kidney issues which have weakened her bones, and she's fractured her spine.
She's a #massage#therapist - her life is about healing other people, and now she needs that kind of help.
If you can help by donating, or even just sharing, I would appreciate it more than I can say.
"Stop spreading conspiracy theories #ChuckGrassley
This 1023 is nothing more than an accusation with NO facts!
This 1023 was taken on 6/30/2020 and after 3 years still no evidence to back up the statements.
Show us the tapes that are referenced in this document! You can’t because they don’t exist!"
Both of the so-called IRS "whistleblowers" have ties to Grassley. They are supported by "Empower Oversight" which is a company run by two of his former senior staffers. The lawyer for Ziegler, used to be Grassley's long time lawyer on Senate finance committee.
Grassley is not smart enough to realize that the conspiracy that he entered into could put him in prison for the rest of his life.
A foreign national has made an allegation against the Bidens, fair enough.
Trump had this info for a good long while and just sat on it, cause his team under Barr couldn't substantiate anything whatsoever. Hmm...
But, Grassley admitted himself on the record that he have no idea whatsoever if the accusation is real or not.
Now claiming it's the smoking gun?
Grassley is worse than a doddering old fool, — Chuck Grassley a dime-a-dozen, traitorous supporter of #TheRapist himself, one old fart in a gang of liars, flees, and flies on the strong back of an America that will soon be squashing you all.
#JayHaley said that #MiltonErickson viewed interpretations in #therapy as disrespectful to the client. It was central to #strategic#hypnosis#psychotherapy that if the client communicates indirectly, the #therapist should engage with that material indirectly. I like framing this as respect for the client but find it counter-intuitive. My default has been the opposite; that saying (kindly) what I think is more respectful. Very curious how others view this. @psychology@psychotherapists
I'd spent a few years in #counseling, most with a single #therapist. I was always trying to become "whole" - more #extroverted, more consistent, more something - and he said to me, "What if this is who you are and you need to accept it?"
One gift of being a #therapist is seeing how people's internal experience is SO DIFFERENT than the external presentation of the same experience. Things like panic attacks, autistic meltdowns, people with borderline personality disorder and perceived abandonment... And because the external presentation is communicated more in media, people often don't pattern match their internal experience to what they've heard about the external experience.
