try a DBT program xd

good points! this is a decent depiction of exposure therapy.

TW have an odd history. they originally were very useful, because one thing you forgot to mention about exposure therapy is all the work that needs to be done leading up to it. you have to have physical grounding skills in place before exposing someone to adverse stimuli.

so imagine you have severe PTSD from SA and a college class is gonna show a film that depicts it in an ugly scene. it could fuck up your whole semester to have traumatic stress symptoms come back unexpectedly. I’m talking panic attacks, flashbacks, mood disruption, difficulty controlling violent impulses, difficulty concentrating, difficulty connecting with others… PTSD can be wild.

so the prof might give a TW on the syllabus, so people just dont come in that day if they don’t wanna see it.

nowdays TW is just “here’s a thing you dont like!” not “here’s something that could potentially ruin your life again”

not if you live in certain US states and you make a threat that your are going to harm yourself or someone else. depends on the state but they can hold you for a psych eval for a few days, maybe a week

So the reason to limit immigration is because you fail to teach them the language? How is that a reason, and not just one form of limitation?

Instead, why not ask: why not invest more into supporting integration programs? Because immigration tends to have hugely positive impacts on the target society. The only reason not to invest in it would be… 🤔 some kind of fear…

This is dubious. Immigration can have massive positive benefits to the target economy.

Nations always have people coming in and out. Immigration isn’t inherently about the influx.

I would be really hesitant to trust the answers here. How many people responding on Lemmy actually have an educated position on how these systems work? Because I can tell you that there are some fields where Lemmy users are just plain ignorant, while displaying all the confidence of certainty. Especially when you include Europeans on the topic of race… what a shitshow.

The safe reading of this thread is to assume every response is an ignorant, bitter xenophobe who gets all their info from a Fox news equivalent. You can still hear their point, but don’t be fooled into thinking they aren’t missing something that completely flips the story.

exactly! lol “if you trying to compare two words and you wont even SAY one of em… THATS the worse word!”

this is such a cliché, short-sighted oversimplification that doesn’t address the root of how individual physicians end up caught in these systems of apathy.

like yes capitalism is part of the problem but that’s about as useful as saying, why is there climate change? capitalism! like sure, yes, but isn’t there so much more to the story that can inform us on why the systems are the way they are, so that maybe we can address it? or i guess .ml users already have that answer, just start a global revolution and hope the winners care enough to fix it before all the survivors die of heat stroke dysentery and starvation, easy. capitalism. upvotes to the left.

I KNEW IT!!!

Hm. Is this for linguistic curiosity? It seems like by “different perspectives” you are seeking political commentary. But I could recommend plenty of sources for hearing people speak English as a second language. Hell, I just found this one today: https://www.youtube.com/@InaYu2024 Seems to be a Japanese oncology pharmacist living in Canada. (Very slight accent, hard to place.)

I guess that just means you’re not autosexual! Um, would that make you allosexual? The aces already nabbed that term

Hey, behavioral health clinician here. I get this a lot. The question is about boundaries. I’m seeing three kinds of responses: 1) lie 2) leave boundaries down 3) assert yourself. Obviously answer three is what you’re looking for, but the question is how. I like what u/FuglyDuck said: “ I appreciate the invitation but I have a policy to not meet patients outside of work or take photos with patients.”

Don’t think about boundaries as rules so much as walls. People who can’t assert themselves tend to have that wall down all the time and let anyone in. This can be uncomfortable, especially if you are a private person. So what is it that prevents the wall from coming up? A professional would stop here and let you figure out the rest but since I’m just a rando on the internet I’ll just take a guess and say maybe there’s some fear and guilt involved in not wanting to hurt the other person’s feelings or disappoint them or maybe just not knowing how to handle the change in atmosphere that you believe will come after setting the boundary up. And then I’d wanna know what makes you feel responsible for protecting their feelings, or what makes you assume it will hurt their feelings/change the atmosphere, and if there’s a way to carry yourself that preserves that emotion/atmosphere even after the wall is raised a bit. Phew, that was a long sentence. Anyway the more I ramble the less helpful this sounds, and that’s fine since I’m just a rando on the internet and not giving professional advice. Have a great day!

You might have this backwards: the ones who helped you were able to do so because you felt like you could open up to them. It’s all about the relationship.

a bell curve is just a normal distribution lol

do you mean the BOOK “The Bell Curve”? the frenology book? yeah i think most of us here get that frenology is racist

do you mean the racist origins behind IQ?

You sound bitter and cruel. Nursing is a wonderful profession that requires a lot of intelligence. There’s nothing wrong with having children. Hoarding is a fucking mental disorder and one of the most intelligent men I know struggled with it.

Did you know that 80% of people think they’re above average intelligence?

What does “in your phone” mean? You save memes to your phone??.. Why?
