You’re A Professional I Look Up To And And All Around Cool Person ^^ You Light Up My Dash!

I never really thought about that. Okay, will do. It would probably help him to speak with you alone at some point too. I think he fears making us sad, but he’s mourning hard. :(

Hello. Official appointment request! ^^

Chief the Chansey, with his little Oddish passenger (they are inseparable… we’ve tried) are the clients!

Background: Chief was a medic in the pokewars of yore and belonged to my grandpa. He’s in my care now as my grandpa isn’t able to care for him. He’s not distrustful of humans really, more so he sees them all as in his care and can’t seem to submit himself to their care. He’s been pretty isolated and is mourning my grandmother and the loss of company of my grandpa/ loss of caretaking for him since he is in my families care now.

Hope that’s enough background! Any additional info and scheduling can be tagged:

[ THIS IS A CLOSED APPOINTMENT BETWEEN B AND THE USER. ]

Thank you for the starting information! That's very helpful! ^^

Breaking out of selfless habits in order to care for yourself or let others care for you can be tough, I've actually had that issue myself before when I get too into the zone. ^^"

Is there any specific habits that really stand out?

Pippi pip pip pippi 🙄 pip pip pip 😎 pippi pip FUCK pip pip pip pippi. :)

Ahhh stigma..

I see. So is there a point of comfort with clients where you do disclose? Or is it just an overall no-no due to generalized stigma?

Sorry to hear it- can’t help but relate though. :’) Though as a matter of relating I can’t disclose why! Is that irony? I always struggle with the definition of irony.

Well, it’s so cool to meet someone interesting I also relate to and share a career with! I hope to talk to you more and see you around!

Nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too!

A fellow therapist who's just recently joined Rotomblr, what a pleasant sight! ^^

How have you been settling so far?

Big mood! It's my career and passion! :D

Greetings!

I am Elias / Ellie ! I go by she/her and he/him prons, no they/them please!

My sibling is @newcomer-karp! They wanted me to join them cause they were tired of having to physically show me the cute pokemon posts on here and wanted to be able to send them to me directly...

But it also seems cool! And I'd love to participate and get to know more about the wider world.

I am a therapist in training! I attend Uni for my psych degree! My partner pokemon is Pippy the Chancy (the name made more sense when she was a happiny...but oh well). You are required to have a Chancy to apply for the psych degree, but I happened to already have her ;) She's my icon! In both the literal and blog way.

Pelipper mail: On!

NOTHING ON THIS BLOG IS MEDICAL ADVICE! FOR LEGAL PURPOSES! AND LIKE ACTUALLY IM STILL IN SCHOOL!

But hey, if it helps, it helps!

Pfft no worries!! I figured I’d ask but I completely get that xD I guess I’m used to Pippi and her eggs that she loves to hand out… she has a weird one right now though? 🤔 But, anyway-

Ooo that game sounds like Spore! But idle? :0 I may have to check that out! Man, Spore was my fave as a kid…

Morning! What are you up to today? I just had a crazy experience myself x)

Nothing really!! Getting back into form for the week, mostly, haha.

Oh ?? You wanna elaborate, or??

I’m suddenly interested in pokemon again. Give me my boy 🫴🏻

Sorry… who is Koko? I’m not too erm… knowledgeable about Ultra Beasts, Mr B. Nor are most people I’d assume? Or maybe I’m particularly sheltered…

But that’s a thing- what usually drives fear is ignorance, and what usually drives discrimination is…well, my classes say it boils down to a conflict of resources, but I think it’s meant to be a broad phrasing.

I know I’d love to learn more about your experiences, and I’m sure others will too.

I know I’m only a student, and maybe it isn’t my place- but make sure you’ve got a good support system around you while you navigate this, yeah? I’m sure you’d want the same for your clients.

Good morning, Rotomblr!

Felt a little stressed so I put on some calming music and read through my notes for the past week!

I feel calmer now!

How is everyone else's mornings going? Or day in general if it's later for you?

appreciate your bat pokemon today and everyday.

Oh no- like, to dox you?

That’s no good :(

Say, I can’t help but mention, I saw one of your posts about being hesitant about self-disclosure and that causing distrust with clients. I’ve been learning about self-disclosure in my class and how integral well placed SD can be to building rapport.

What subjects are you hesitant on? How have you found your way around it to build rapport anyway? Feel free to ignore this if it’s too personal! I just figure there’s always something to learn from people ^^

Ah yes, saw something that reminded about the bizarre attraction to POS women characters in various works that happens. And not like... ones that can be reinterpreted as something decent or the like either. Fucking confusing to me.

(same thing happens with male characters to be clear, I'm just a lesbian so focusing on that part)
