I am lying on the floor panicking because I cannot give myself this shot. You’d think that when your entire life is blood draws, IVs, and shots you’d be used to it, but having to give it to yourself really changes the game 🙃

It was worse! I dissociated so hard my husband couldn’t get my attention :) I had to use EMDR to process it in therapy :)

I just spent an hour panicking and occasionally crying as I tried to convince myself to self-administer my #Xolair shot. It was over in 5 seconds. It stopped hurting within 30 seconds. I wasted a whole hour anticipating 35 seconds of pain. Will I still panic next time? Probably.

Looking to connect with other #therapists who are struggling with the new Tr*mp administration. I live in a VERY rural area and its hard to find people to share with and find support in #mentalhealthcounselor #lpc #lcpc #lcsw #lmsw #lmft

I really don’t know why the MAGA folks are so upset they moved the inauguration indoors. Like, it’s the capitol building you guys know how to get in.

#southeasternidaho / #canadian / #coldweather friends: any advice for how to keep my skin from cracking and bleeding when we’re in the negatives??? I thought wearing gloves outdoors would be enough but it absolutely isn’t. TIA. Signed, Someone who has never lived where it got below 0*F before

I think it is important for freedom of assembly to apply to the places where people assemble.

Today I learned that actually confronting people and asking questions can result in good things happening 😅

Rex is the goodest boy and has the sweetest heart. Please consider helping his mom and dad (some of my favorite humans) pay for his medicine so he can keep being the light and love he is♥️ #petsinneed #vetbills #catinneed gofund.me/84e8ffd6

TW: DV People are often surprised to learn that me leaving my abusive ex-husband was a spur of the moment decision. My then-husband left to go run errands and I had the thought that if I didn’t leave I’d end up dead. So I packed up and was out within 4 hours.

Yesterday I cut my fingers (resulting in stitches) while cutting an onion Today I had a panic attack when my husband cut one for me and then again upon undoing the dressing to clean my wound. I guess this is a reminder that even the “little” things can be a trauma and counselors are not immune 😅

Woke up to fire alarms blaring this morning 🙃 I’m currently watching the firefighters try to figure out what/who triggered the alarm

I have the stomach flu. I also have 3 CDAs and 5 treatment plans to write (for which I will not be paid), as well as an unpaid, mandatory 8 hour training and subsequent test to complete. I’m going to riot. #therapistproblems

I thought driving in #Provo was bad, but trying to drive in #Rexburg with the hoardes of students who literally never look up from their phones is a nightmare

I think it should be a crime that, as a #counselor with a master’s-level education, I make 80% of my “hourly rate” ($35) for a 45-minute #counseling session. My only other option is to work the entire hour and not give myself time to do the notes, leading to hrs of #unpaidlabor doing them at home
