I saw someone on some platform recently ask something along the lines of “are the therapists okay?” in regard to *all this* that’s been going on and I would just like to say:
We were never okay, that’s why we became therapists.
Hope that helps!

why can't the democrat messaging on trans people be "no, we are not going to force children to undergo genital inspections in order to play sports"

re: chatgpt and suicide/psychosis, if somebody talked like that to other people in any of my peer support groups they would be banned instantly. a healthcare or psychiatric provider who did so would be stripped of their licensing. a crisis hotline would be sued into oblivion. shut it the fuck down

Realistically managing CPTSD means we have to give up fantasies of one skill, one realization, or one transformative thing being done to us, that will take all this pain away.

I had an interview for a therapy position that was so rigid and corporate that I noped out of it part way through. I just left corporate America! I’m not stepping right back into it.
