Patient today went on for awhile about how she is Anti-SSRIs and anti meds and tells other people that they are poisoning their bodies by taking their meds and they just need the right combination of essential oils...
and she's sobbing because she's now on all those meds because frontal lobe damage and it was like take the meds or kill yourself and the meds are helping and she's getting better but...

and damn. I do a LOT of acting in my job, but I had to reach really far to even grab enough empathy to fake being a good therapist to her today... WHAT WOULD GOOD THERAPIST ME SAY HERE, "Yes, and."

----------------

Anyway. There's a ticTok about What Dogs Do When You Kiss Them so I grabbed the wombat sized puppy, kissed his noggin and he curled his head under mine and licked my chin.

ee's baby Rottweiler is here. He has about a hundred pounds to gain in the next 10 months so he mostly sleeps. I call him Carl. He is one of those show dogs so he has one of those BEST IN SHOW names.

What a difficult situation!

So, what did they say after your "yes, and..."? Did they respond well?
