  • She actually disliked the park because she really dislikes it when other dogs sniff her butt and runs away. We’ve tried to get her used to it, but ultimately decided to keep her away from the park.

    The word “walk” however is forbidden in the house for she will start spinning in circles and destroying anything and everything in her path.

  • Emotional dysregulation is a feature of ADHD that is not mentioned in the DSM, but it definitely exists. A strong sense of justice is more common in autism IME, but there is such a bit overlap between the two. So people who are AuDHD would definitely have it.

  • I got diagnosed in my late thirties. Best thing that ever happened to me. Getting medicated too. I am an actual person now, with a planner I actually use and everything.

  • She has so much neck skin. Super skinny dog with enough skin for two of her.

  • Wow, she laid some eggs, that’s impressive for a cat!

  • Natural intelligence.

  • Ok, I kid about no natural intelligence. She is smart, but so rambunctious, she is constantly running into walls head first.

  • aww @lemmy.world

    Hazel is not AI. She also has no NI. No thoughts, head empty.

  • You can literally get 36 of them for $5. 14 cents an egg is not expensive.

  • Haha, I don’t know, is it his expression? Like was caught doing something inappropriate?

  • I don’t think making people get PhDs in order to be a therapist is a solution here.

    I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a therapist. I already had to go through 2 years of grad school plus a little over 3,000 hours of supervised work before receiving my license (I also did an additional 2-year post-grad program in marriage and family therapy).

    Acting like that doesn’t make me qualified to provide therapy is frankly bullshit and elitist.

    LCSWs are the largest group providing behavioral health services in the Unted States, at 60% (Page 7 - https://socialwork.utexas.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/TX-SW-Workforce-Report24.pdf). Suggesting that every single therapist should be a PhD would result in a very swift and decisive mental health crisis in the country because not everyone can afford to take years off making income to get another degree.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if every doctor did a psychiatry residency and a cardiology residency and a surgical residency… you know, so that they can be the best doctor and provide the best services? And don’t get me started on PAs!

    Shouldn’t all nurses be RNAs then? Why have CNAs and such?

    I am sure you see my point.

    It is absolutely true that there are bad master’s-level clinicians out there (case in point, see the therapist who brought this suit). There are also bad PhDs out there. Your degree does not determine how good of a therapist you are.

    The solution is to do a much better job with state regulations and laws, which will only take you so far… once again, case in point. Colorado tried to do the right thing only to have the Supreme Court shut them down.

  • Not really. It’s pretty easy to separate kink shaming from hypocrisy shaming. No one’s doing the former, but we are doing a lot of the latter.

  • This lawsuit was brought by a licensed psychotherapist who also happens to be a Christian. There are already restrictions on who can practice psychotherapy. These aren’t some unlicensed people. These are the people you are talking about, with a graduate school education and a licensing process and everything.

  • I just do the knuckles method (you have to remember February, but other than that it’s perfect).

    One day, they will both regret this...

  • Totally agree with you. And also the effect of drugs like antipsychotics. Even the skinniest people gain weight and have trouble keeping it off.

  • That’s just the current American experience.

    Ah, who am I kidding, we can’t afford cocaine.
