It depends heavily on the therapeutic relationship/bond.

As a therapist, I focus more on building rapport and establishing connection before diving into the mental health aspects. Without trust/rapport, nothing will move forward in treatment. To generalize is not the best way to put things forward.

The War on Drugs is the cycle of incarceration and racism

Typically you waive your rights to view your recommendation letters. With FEPRA, I believe you can review recommendation letters a year after you applied as schools may keep them on file. However, I believe if you did not enroll at a school, they are typically destroyed.

Recommendation letters are candid responses from teachers/professors about your abilities and what you will bring to a school. By waiving your rights, it allows them to be more candid in their writing instead of stating facts such as grades and other items readily accessible on your transcript.

Having written letters of rec as a school counselor for 8 years, it is a daunting and tiring process. However, the best letters I wrote were because the students befriended me and I was able to write them without them providing me any information.

This looks to be a good alternative except it does not have HIPAA support.

Even though I have shut down my practice for the near future, I will still need to have information protected for several years to the Health Department's requirements for psychological records.

Email providers who lack this support will have difficulty gaining traction in the health world.

It came from the post above.

>Do you think that immigrants don't pay taxes?

This is what puzzles me about the immigration debate. Most move here to work and better themselves and effectively pay a higher tax rate than corporations.

I have been with Fi for several years and have never had a problem with customer service. I always call and speak with a rep who is readily available to help. My Pixel 1 had bluetooth issues and I was sent a replacement within a week. The second time it went bad because the screen stopped turning on, it was an equally quick turn around.

Maybe voice is a better option than chat, at least in my experience.

This is a loaded question with many different factors. One factor is privatized insurance is only concerned about turning quarterly profits over providing care. Additionally they are not held accountable for unethical practices as they continue to break the law without any ramification.

Anecdotally, my mom worked for P&G when I was growing up and she said the main difference between the brands was which one was on sale, sold more than the other. In a way the price was the biggest reason for selling toothpaste, not marketing.

I realized quickly in undergrad I could not program. This prompted the change to psych and eventually a MS in Counseling Psych. Today I am licensed with a small practice and work full-time in public education.

Even though I have so much more to learn, moving towards a humanistic approach has had such a positive impact with clients and myself. Being able to sit back and be with a feeling, no matter how uncomfortable, challenges me to think about what is really the problem. This is beneficial in schools because it is the same way with students and faculty because the surface emotion is only an indicator something is wrong.

I think my curiosity to understand the human condition is what led me to study and practice. At the same time, involving tech into my practice is necessary to help indicate progress for clients in addition to how it can replace me when out of session.

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl changed how I viewed most of the world, especially as a counselor. Learning how experiences change how a person views the world and its impact on their life.

Reading about how he experienced time in a concentration camp with endless hope to be reunited with his wife kept him going and surviving each day hungry, cold, and doing his best to take care of the ill. He learned the positive impact of hope and when individuals lost it, they quickly fell ill or died. It gave me perspective and to challenge my way of thinking in addition to helping clients learn there are multiple ways to interpret anything.

Suicidal ideation is different than having a plan and access to the method to follow through.

It’s when ideation proceeds to having a timeline and decision to die by suicide is when hospitalization is absolutely necessary. At the end of the day, if I a person wants to die by suicide, there is very little anyone can do about it.

Working in a school, not as a teacher, it is amazing to see how students litter their desktop with files, similar to how most of the staff save their files.

I am not a programmer by any means and I know how important it is to create a filing system with directories. It is irritating how much time is lost while waiting for colleagues to locate a file hidden among the many on their desktop.

There is, its called PBS Kids and all you need to do it note your local PBS station for it to work. My 4 year old loves all of the shows on there and it is amazing what she remembers after watching because it becomes a topic at the table several days after.

This will not work for everyone as I do the same with airplane mode. I figure if it is that much of an emergency, a police officer will show to my door with terrible news.
