They’re probably right

We figure out how to make what they learned into sustainable habits together. If you’re IN therapy, we can also do this with insights you gleam. And if I SENT you to therapy (not a reflection on you!) my door is open when you feel like you’ve gotten what you need!

If you need help with this "play dumb" tactic, look to your youngest sibling because chances are they've been using it for years!

Obviously don't take this (it's not advice because I don't know you) if it will make things worse. Read the room. But I find it's the most universal tool for family gathering strife because you stop feeding the hostility and probably make the hostile person look foolish.

so if you can't change minds you may as well just make people bare their minds and biases for all to see. Either they have a good reason for acting a certain way or they don't. (Or there IS no good reason to act this way in which case it works to make someone lay out their bigotry for all to hear)

nice!

very normal indeed. Rich people never create their own problems!

If they ask if/when you'll have kids, ask them to donate to your genetic enhancement fund, bc if Elon Musk can make it so he has only boys, you should be allowed to select for at least 1 kid with a tail, even if it’s cosmetic and doesn’t do anything. Say you already have baby onesies with tail holes

I think the issue is we were still on the DSM 4 when I was in college. At least that’s my best guess as to why I don't qualify and older grads don't qualify. Especially since it wasn't even my major- but I do have enough psych courses to qualify for programs I'm looking at if they weren't so old.

I've been told by several therapists not to go unless it satisfies my interest because I have the knowledge already. But I'm skeptical of this and I DEFINITELY know being a coach doesn't convey it. My coaching courses were 2 weeks of my life. That's ridiculous.

2/ For now, I can empathize with the struggle because I’m in it with my clients who can only pay so much. Even if I end up having to move into my parents’ study with my partner and cats I’ll find a way to keep appointments confidential. We’ll all find a way.

Most of Asia and Africa don't change, but a few places do, also on a different day. And if you don't change it's still a mess because I do.
