Absolutely.

I learned the hard way that just because someone is a therapist, it doesn’t mean they have all the answers. Makes me very grateful for all the good ones I met along the way ❤️

I unsubscribed from the holidays a few years ago

Happy birthday ❤️

My old boy was a Russian blue. He was so smart and loyal. Give them hugs and pats for me 🥹

First of all, different titles (e.g. psychologist, psychotherapist, social worker, counsellor, etc.) require different levels/types of education and experience and you should be able to look up whether they’re in good standing with your state/provincial/federally regulated organizations. So you can look up how long they’ve been practicing, and what qualifications they have.

Second of all, it’s common to try several before you find someone that’s a good fit. It might take a few sessions before you decide whether it’s a match.

Thirdly, be wary of anyone that seems to be asking leading questions or giving you advice on what to do. A good therapist will help you build the skills you need to come to your own decisions. No one knows your life better than you do and it’s their job to pass along the appropriate interpretation of their training on to you. They aren’t there to pass judgement on you, your life, or the people/relationships in your life.

Lastly, I wish you all the best. It took me a long time to find my current therapist and it’s been life changing. I learned a lot along the way, and I hope your journey brings you what you need.

It’s always cigarette butts!

The only one that will sell is the one that’s finished.

If it’s interesting to you, it’ll be interesting to someone else. Doing something for mass market appeal gets you buried in the crowd. Finding a niche and being excited with that niche crowd is what will get you noticed.

Are you my neighbor?

I’m guessing it depends on who can afford better lawyers

I feel dumb because I also know, but I also had to look it up it just to make sure:

Thanks for sharing. Maybe I’ll try the compact. I have become so accustomed to the full sized keyboard, but I do find it to be clumsy.

That was a hilarious read. Thank you.

The goldilocks zone of key cap weight!

How do you like the full keyboards you have? I’m looking for a new one

Good point. And having the same name could inadvertently get you on some travel ban watch lists.

I heard that we’re genetically predisposed to find babies cute so we take care of them long enough to pass on our genes. Does that count?

I’m pretty good at repairing computers, but please don’t tell my friends and family.

I didn’t think quicksand would look like that

Good call on leaving room for thick socks!
