Right so after several recent incidents at work it seems like it's time to tap the sign again:

Never apologize to me when your cat crashes a video call.

Your cat is perfect.

I understand that the begging for attention is not charming to you but it is to me and I wish to see your cat.

Thank you.

More thoughts:

This is why it’s essential, IMO, for us to:

*Do our Self as the Therapist work - through supervision, consultation, and therapy

*Have ongoing peer support

*Address our self-esteem & confidence

*Have regular practices to care for ourselves, including boundaries

*Take breaks!
Being a therapist means putting our ego aside; our work is done in private, in isolation, without audience.

There are no awards, applause, or accolades, just the quiet appreciation of clients. That, along with our own recognition of growth, must be enough.

Drake just signed a legal document acknowledging "Not Like Us" did him great harm.

Is this not the biggest defeat in hip-hop history?

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.

Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Notice the first letter of each line of this poem. From Virginia Poe to Edgar, Valentine's Day, 1846. #morbidminute

Ever with thee I wish to roam—

Dearest my life is thine.

Give me a cottage for my home

And a rich old cypress vine,

Removed from the world with its sin and care
