You haven't mastered the "take your kid for some kid activity for two hours then go to the brewery for lunch" routine yet? There is no minimum age for this strategy, and there can also be napping involved.
This tone is not appropriate for this thread!
If I was 25 x the average age of my clients, I'd be 2,125 years old. I look good for 2,125.
47 here. I be old too
So true. And it's also understandable that people tend to experience tremendous resistance to and difficulty accepting responsibility for contributing to the 'tragedy' of their lives. I think some of the 'art' of psychotherapy consists of learning--often through trial-and-error--how to help an individual open up to that possibility in a manner that is tolerable rather than overwhelming and that leads to increased (rather than decreased) engagement with the psychotherapeutic process. And I don't mean 'art' in terms of 'woo woo' or some mystical unknowable process...I mean art in terms of skill that develops through experience in the form of implicit rulesets that may be difficult to articulate verbally or to operationalize.
A wizened gnome illusionist with a walker, lol. The only thing missing is a complete set of all the works of C.G. Jung on a bookshelf behind him.
Age twin! How about that 1976, eh? Quite a year.
I’m partial to 1973.
@Sanman are you happy with your choice for choosing clinical psych? I’m also trying to decide between med school and clinical psych and find it hard to decide
Openings for them or for you?
Keep us in mind. I can offer three different versions of a bubble gun, plus unlimited access to play-doh and kush balls. You can also eat the goldfish crackers we use for the ADOS. You must be able to juggle at least 3 balls at a time to be considered for the position.
You got the job! When can you start?
Offer rescinded- you’re way too fancy for us.
Surprisingly, there’s a fair bit of scratch to be earned making play-doh birthday cakes and hiding things from toddlers under wash cloths. It’s not trail making money, but it keeps me livin’ hard the Honda CRV lifestyle!Aww, that's no fun. My salary requirements are at a good level, that may have been a sticking point anyway
Do you hire mock toddlers to practice on?
I haven’t seen a kush ball (a real one) in forever
I can mock with the best of ‘em! Need a tantrum?Depends. How good are you at mocking toddlers?
Need non-edible objects shoved in the mouth? Need mispronunciations and extra -ed or -s to words like mices? Hop on one foot and spin in a circle? Want true, unfiltered honesty that only young children can provide? Got it covered!
