Im thinking Khloe is having another baby with Tristan bc she wants their daughter to have a sibling w the same parents? But you know what i think is more important/powerful? To show your daughter how to walk away from a Cheater. Its more important than having a full sibling
Me and the boyfriend had a little tiff yesterday. This morning he sent me a message saying “Let me know when you have a break. We need to have a discussion about yesterday”
I was like Oh okayyy. I’ve never been w someone who actually likes communicating more than I do lol
I know a colleague who is working on her SECOND doctorate because she said she will attend school for the rest of her life just so she never has to pay back her student loans LOL
When I first met my current Therapist I mentioned that I’m a devout Christian. She stopped & said “I don’t do faith based counseling so I hope that’s okay!” She would have referred me out
We can do harm when seeing people we have no business counseling
@drantbradley
As a therapist one of the main things I hear over and over from clients is that they wished their parents divorced instead of having to witness them hate each other and many times be physically and emotionally abusive. People don’t divorce bc they aren’t getting along. They…
My career means everything to me. I was studying for my 1st prof license when I found out my ex-husband was cheating on me w multiple women. I looked him dead in the face & said “You will NOT get in the way of my career. I’ll deal w this after my test” I passed and then left him
Had to mute this! I have ADHD and all the notifications are distracting lol! Her @ is in the comments. I don’t know what happened, but I thought it was sad. If I laughed it’s bc it was in response to another comment and I laugh easily. I think that covers it.
It’s challenging being a Therapist and I don’t give myself/us enough credit. You have to be super self-aware and humble yourself everyday. You have to put your own stuff to the side and show up for others. Self-care looks different for us. I literally CANT have drama in my life.
This tweet apparently resonated with people. I want to be fair and state that I also counsel a lot of young men who attend therapy BEFORE marriage to try and be better than their fathers.
I happen to hear stories like this bc I help women after they leave
It’s been confirmed by a Social Worker at Methodist hospital that the second employee who was killed yesterday was a SW! Why isn’t anyone talking about her?!! They’re collecting donations in the SW FB group I belong to. She deserved to be honored as well!
Some of the admin staff mentioned in a meeting that they “never take lunch”, almost showing off.
I said “From a mental health perspective, that’s not good. You’ll end up burned out real quick. And you probably need to eat too”
I will not be shamed bc I take a damn lunch break
After being a therapist for men for years, I’ve realized that men essentially want the same thing as women. They all want deep emotional connection with their partners. They WANT to be vulnerable and trust that she will be there no matter what.
I’ve been quiet. I haven’t felt myself lately and have been struggling personally. I tend to want to be alone in my little hole when I feel like this. People have let me down, so the safest place is when I’m alone (with God).
Pray for me 🙏🏽
So last week I shared that a dream I didn’t have until recently came true. I am now the Chief Behavioral Health Officer (CBHO) at my clinic. The position is new and was created for me 😭😭
I’m finally admitting that the reason I pushed everyone away and why I don’t talk to people is because I’m a Therapist. I’ve become too comfortable listening and helping others process their own thoughts, that I don’t really like talking anymore lol
A new Social Worker started in my clinic this week. During training this morning I told her that as her Supervisor, I encourage her to take her lunch everyday and if it ever gets too busy to let me know.
I’m setting her up for success now.
Starting my AM off by reminding Twitter that I take Vyvanse (for ADHD) & Zoloft (for depression/anxiety). It has drastically improved my life. As a Therapist I’ve seen medication transform others. If you’re hesitant bc of myths or what others think, ASK a MH/medical professional
I wish there was a space where only fellow Therapists could read my thoughts bc I’m disappointed in some of us. The horrible things new clients have told me about previous counseling experiences & even my own friends’ stories. Some of us need a lot more work bc it’s harming ppl
@NuuYawkerr
My mom specifically told me that I will NOT be a housewife and will be a professional. She raised me to be independent financially, and I am. But I regret that she didnt emphasize cooking/cleaning more. I struggled when I was married. I think balance is key
“[Joe Rogan’s] literally quoting someone else using the [N-word] and talking about it. Okay. So there’s a difference and a context…”
Donald Trump Jr defends Joe Rogan’s use of the N-word and says, “don’t apologize to these people.”
Got home and mom is laying down saying her chronic pain is flared up.
Mom: I wish I could just go to sleep and not wake up
* Me…a therapist… 😳 ready for an assessment at all times* lol
“Like…ever?”
Mom: “No just until tomorrow morning

@TuswaniCopeland
I tell people all the time "The church is a hospital for the broken, not a museum for the perfect". The church is full of broken people BUT they are looking for help (God). I don't go to model after anyone, I go to worship with others. Theres nothing like Gods presence at church
So applied to two competitive doctoral programs (DSW). I didn’t get into one but I got into another. The one I was accepted to fits me better anyway bc the school is already researching what I want to research. So I will be attending University of Kentucky starting this summer!
@illskinyou
You’re right! I think the realization that there’s no way this is real love, is what finally pushes women to leave. For a man to watch his wife literally do everything and have no compassion or urge to help is abusive
It’s my 42 bday and I honestly don’t even care much lol! I used to celebrate so big and now I truly am grateful for the little things.
-I have a successful private practice that I built completely on my own.
-I make the most money I’ve ever made -and I take care of my mommy
It sucks when you have such a stressful job, there’s no one to discuss it with, so you hold it inside until you blow up. Reminds me of my CPS caseworker days when I was so stressed and nobody understood except coworkers.
Y’all pray for me
Since transitioning to full-time private practice I actually work MORE now. I literally saw 9 clients today…the 6th day of counseling. Why? Because now I keep all the money!
Someone who actually likes working should not work for someone else.
A male client of mine asked me such a profound question about his relationship. He asked “How do I know if I should keep watering my own grass or if I need to give up, leave and find a new yard?”
I was like Wow! How the hell do I answer this?!! 😂
Y’all ask amazing questions
“You over 40 bitches do not need to be wearing pigtails, side ponytails. You need to ease up on the baby hairs, especially if you look over 40. I don’t wanna see them childish ass hairstyles. Lil two buns n shit”… do you agree are these inappropriate past 40?
So we actually have inner children…not just one child. We have different child parts and it’s been interesting getting to know them all
Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) with my own therapist has been life changing for me
So I met with my CEO and he (clinic) offered to pay half my tuition this Fall for my doctorate program. I was telling him I’m paying for it myself & he immediately offered. I was speechless and almost started crying! More so because of the gesture.
Over 10 years ago I remember being a tired Grad student wondering if all the stress was worth it. It seemed like a dream to have my own practice. My office is now less than 2 miles away from my university. Full circle 🥰
Couples are the only groups I will not work with. My bias tends to be towards women so it’s not fair. In private practice practice I will not see anyone under 18yo. I see kids in my clinic and that’s good for me
Y’all I applied and was chosen to be a part of the 2022-2023 A*WB Task Force, Clinical exam group! Your girl is going to get to help play a role in our licensing exams!
It took me since April but I’m making twice as much money now in private practice…and it’s a weird feeling. I told my mom today to go buy herself something nice lol!
I “only” saw 3 clients today when I normally see 6-7. I’m currently reading a romance novel and relaxing. Is this what normal people do on Saturdays? Lol
Today I officially start my doctoral classes. It’ll take me 3 yrs but I know they will fly by.
This will be my 4th degree. I didn’t attend graduation for my 2 masters partly bc I wanted to feel as if I wasn’t finished. Turns out I still have one more degree left in me lol
@Legendary_JT
I think women in these particular situations just want any help at all!! The husband ends up being like a child and therefore another responsibility
I just resigned from my part-time hospice job. For the past 5 yrs I’ve spent my weekends providing support to hospice patients & their families. I’ll never forget them
It’s difficult for me to leave jobs, but as I pursue my Doctorate I simply can’t do it all. I’m choosing myself
I was recruited for a Director position at a huge hospital. I turned them down yesterday because they don’t pay what I make in private practice. I told them it would make no sense to take it and for the amount of stress?!
It felt good to tell them NO thanks
I called one of the social workers I supervise and said "You've been on my mind. I feel in my spirit that something is wrong. Are you okay?" Yep, sure enough she was dealing with some personal things.
I'm officially the old church lady who sees through everyone's soul! LOL
My church hired a Pastor and wife who is Teacher that specialized in working with kids with Autism to be over the children’s ministry. They built a neurodivergent friendly children’s room.
I LOVE Black women! I will always be loyal and fight for them when they’re not there to fight for themselves. They’ve uplifted me, stood up for me, and cared about me when no one else did.
I specifically prayed to God & said “Send me someone with such a good heart, that it’s evident he knows You” I wanted to be attracted to a man’s heart &integrity. I told God I didn’t care what race, height, career, etc.The person God brought to me was even better than I asked for
I have 3 new LMSW staff and more coming. My clinic closes early on Fridays and I told our newest SW who started this week that she can leave even earlier today. I love being a Supervisor as much as I love being a Clinician. I want all of my staff to feel safe and supported
I’m having to furnish a new office for my private practice (leaving group practice to go on my own). Another Therapist is selling all of her office decor bc she’s moving and she practically is giving it all away to me (very cheap). I could cry! Lol
I just got my first consulting check…only 3 weeks into full-time private practice lol Finally all the hard work and blood, sweat and tears I gave to organizations is all for me now 🥹
If I get killed at work bc more than likely they’re calling me to calm down an irate person….I want the whole world to know!! I wonder why they aren’t talking about the other employee who died? Is it bc she’s a SW so not as interesting as a nurse? Is this bc of privacy?
Alright so I ended up taking time off Twitter to enjoy time with my BF and to rest.
Everything went amazing!! They loved each other! BF said he sees so much of me in my mom. My mom said he is very nice and charming and is always welcomed 😊
@Juh_Nay_
Because I think they mean it. They miss her and love the woman next to them too. Feelings about one don’t affect their feelings about the other. They’re only hiding it for their main girl’s sake. At least from my own “research” lol
