I just ate steak, but now I want a sandwich with Doritos on top.

I thought I was the only one! You put them in the middle then press it slightly so they go “crunch” a little. Yum!

Nope, nothing wrong with that!

Sure is.

Yup… happened to my friend who lives in Mississippi, and a few of my clients. One person was raped by their church camp counselor, but that didn’t stop their former therapist from suggesting religion. I honestly don’t understand how someone can be so tone deaf.

He is gorgeous and lucky to have a loving owner like you!

You’re welcome!

My husband and I have separate blankets. Allows for better temperature regulation (he runs way hotter than me), and we never fight over the blanket.

Full story

You are totally right about that.

It always amuses me when local shops/restaurants give discounts to cops but not to mental health workers. Like, we often clean up trauma inflicted by cops. Get your priorities straight.

Based on what the internet told me about cats, this life often chooses you.

Most of my clients know why they are coming, it’s childhood (or other) trauma. That doesn’t mean they don’t get to have new insights on the topic. Also, while we talk, that’s not my main modality. We do EMDR and similar therapies that actually help people process the trauma. I’ve seen it change lives.

I know what you mean. I largely predicted what is happening now back in 2015, and in this case it was my husband, not my therapist, who told me he believes “the system of checks and balances won’t allow it to happen.” He is an optimist and wanted to believe the US was still a good country. He now agrees with me and gets sad and angry any time something new and horrible happens.

This really depends on where you are located and what degree/license the therapist has.

For example, I’m a licensed clinical social worker in the Denver metro area. I got a ton of education on the issues of power, oppression, and privilege in grad school. All my colleagues are aware of those issues and would fully support you in your view.

But go South, and it becomes harder to find a therapist who is aware and won’t push god and religion on you.

In general, if you want more anti-capitalist therapists, lean towards social workers and check out the https://www.inclusivetherapists.com/ directory.
