Arthritis can significantly impact daily life, making even the simplest tasks challenging. Occupational therapy offers specialized techniques and exercises designed to help individuals manage their arthritis symptoms effectively. By focusing on functional skills, this type of therapy empowers patients to regain their independence and improve their quality of life. Through personalized treatment plans, occupational therapy helps individuals learn how to adapt their daily routines and activities, ensuring they can continue to engage in meaningful pursuits.

here is your reminder that all trauma is valid.

trauma is to do with how our brains process (or don't process) memories and experiences and that if something is traumatic for you then that is trauma.

it doesn't matter if you or someone else thinks it should be significant or not or if someone else went through the same thing and wasn't impacted by it. what matters is if it's significant to you and how it impacted you.

a huge part of recovering from trauma is allowing yourself to accept that you had it in the first place.

it is mind-boggling that the first thing people do after seeing a horrible antisemitic attack, or the firebombing of a synagogue, or a mob going after a jewish teacher, or the assault of a jewish student, is to go out and make a statement condemning "islamophobia and antisemitism and other forms of hate" in that order.

genuine questions from someone who is grieving a relationship for the first time: how do you not lose yourself in this? how do you keep trusting in the positive in humans? how do you let go of not just the person, but the future and the promises that came along with them?

Nothing drives me crazier than when a character is so so SO obviously written to be autistic but the creators want plausible deniability for any fuckups so they pretend they had noo idea the character came across that way

Consulted with a new therapist as our old one is quitting.

I sincerely don't want to go through this again. This will be my 5th therapist since moving to MN.

I'm tired of the endless cycle of

"6-12 months of info gathering and stabilizing" > "1-3 months of trauma processing" > "Have a massive reaction in session and regress" > "Suicidal ideation and negative symptoms flair up" > "Therapist gets scared to continue because they don't want to trigger ideation" > "Frustration brews between me and therapist" > "One of us quits on the other" > "Find a new therapist and start again"

Honestly? I'm tired. She volunteered that we could just deal with present issues of *checks notes* "Transgender people being politically and physically targeted by bigots during an endless pandemic" but why I'm in therapy is so that I stop living my life like I'm about to experience homelessness again or lose all my relationships in a heartbeat.

I barely go outside, I'm scared of people and have withdrawn so much of my life into a hard little shell that honestly it can hardly be called a life at all.

As much progress as we've made with our trauma triggers and our DID, we're WAY worse socially than we were when we were a closeted husk of a being pretending to be a guy. Blame the pandemic and the politics if you like but we're barely functioning and a decade plus of therapy has just made us hate ourselves for it less than we would otherwise.

It's so tempting to quit and pocket the money for the upcoming storms...

But to her credit when we mentioned our worries that DID in treatment looks fake because we have our symptoms managed she volunteered "You mean the McLean Hospital stuff", referring to a lecture given by the hospital a couple years ago about the "trend" of DID clients and how to differentiate real from "fake". That and assuring that she does not lead with an fusion model (she used the word "integration") helps me give a base level of trust.

But fuck I'm tired of being in stabilization forever.

i looove my therapist

[joleneghoul]

i feel like the reactions i get out of people when i mention i was unhoused/displaced as a teenager is exactly why WHEN i was unhoused i never spoke about it to any of my friends or online.

this is true of many things, but i feel like the way the public is uncomfortable with unhoused people speaking of their experiences (yet doing nothing to help them) is such a major roadblock in progressive spaces.

i am a person who believes that a "good therapist" can be a meaningful part of someone's efforts toward wellbeing, but it's occurring to me that i feel like a lot of people simply don't know what to look for in a therapist, and don't feel comfortable talking about their relationship to their therapist.

i feel like the way that therapy is commonly treated as a "quarantine" of emotionality means that a lot of people are hesitant to reflect on and discuss interactions with their therapist to trusted outside parties. (of course, sometimes we seek therapy because we have no trusted outside parties). and there is a societal assumption that therapeutic authority is well-earned, which doesn't necessarily align with reality.

but i guess i'm wondering if it wouldn't be helpful to just... talk a lot more, blab about your experiences with your therapist. complain more about uncomfortable interactions and figure out if it's something you can set a boundary over or if it's a dealbreaker. for people who actually feel helped by their therapists to explain what's so good about them.

like compared to the friends and mentors that comprise our support networks, there are so few social consequences for discussing our emotional responses To therapy, because they're not a person woven into the fabric of your social sphere. they're removed from it, intentionally. so i feel like we should really take advantage of that to loudly talk about What theyre telling us and How it makes us feel.

(my partner says one of the things about psychoanalysis that they prefer over conventional therapy is that it's understood that you might feel various ways about your analyst, and you aren't expected to have this... neutral-pleasant relationship. it's understood as an emotionally involved relationship with two parties who have their own biases. without analysis experience myself i can't speak to how that shows up in practice, but i think it's a compelling angle)

i guess i feel like a lot of the everyday posts about therapy are either quite personal and limited in scope, or really general trends, or zoomed-out posts on therapy as a theory and practice. perhaps i sense a gap in personal anecdotes that center emotional experience while providing some guidance in ways to move forward. maybe im just not following the right people but i guess i think it's a societal trend that could be changed

bro when u are trying so hard to curate ur life experience so u don't go insane but the insanity comes from within

[butchshevik]

I feel like all the weird responses to the variety of polls coming out that in some way shape or form ask "is it ok to engage in sexual activity in a place that is not your/your partners bedroom" really show how cooked we are on like. a basic social level

Asking this because I have encountered therapists and clients alike who have a wide range of answers and I am curious. If you could, in the tags put your age and if you've ever gone to therapy before, or if you are a therapist.

Pls reblog for sample size :)
