Regardless of any therapist’s therapy modality or practice perspective/framework of choice I can’t help but feel like those who are dismissive of psychoeducation as a “crutch” or “lazy” part of therapy maybe just haven’t experienced how powerful it actually can be.

[No BS Therapist @TweetATherapist]

Guilt: “I fucked up”

Shame: “I’m fucked up”

Blame: “You fucked up”

Dialectic: “I can fuck up and still be a good person”

Empathy: “Everyone fucks up sometimes”

Compassion: “Making mistakes can be fucking hard”

Acceptance: “Mistakes are how I learn and grow”

Living with chronic illness oftentimes means experiencing a new level of grief whenever a new symptom appears.

[Jamie- Social Working all day everyday @Socialworkjam]

@MSWLoading @DrMarinaHarris I actually love treating personality disorders and especially love working with my BPD clients. Hurts me to see that level of treatment discrimination.

[Jamie- Social Working all day everyday @Socialworkjam]

@DrMarinaHarris You can’t expect to become an expert at anything if you don’t try. I can’t imagine discriminating a mental diagnosis because it seems ‘too difficult to treat’

[Jamie- Social Working all day everyday @Socialworkjam]

@DrMarinaHarris That therapists, especially young therapists, should challenge themselves more with disorders that they find are ‘scary’ or hard to treat. It hurts my soul when I have therapists who refuse to work with populations. This is what good supervision and research is for!

[Jamie- Social Working all day everyday @Socialworkjam]

@MSWLoading @DrMarinaHarris YES!!!

I just feel so bad for my clients (especially kids) that had to go through the hell I went through. Nothing worse to function at minimum capacity knowing you are capable of functioning much better. Leagues better. Anyway shit sucks, is my professional opinion.
