i see a #christian #therapist but not a "#ChristianTherapist ™️."

my therapist is licensed and has the same educational credentials as secular therapists.

she is just also a christian and it's helpful to have a shared background of faith when i speak about things from a religious perspective or come from a standpoint of modeling Christ or discerning and doing what God commands.

(she thinks the joseph smith stuff is weird but thats okay. he's not the center of my faith by far.)

#SCOTUS Tuesday sided with a #Christian #therapist, rejecting a #Colorado #law that prohibited #MentalHealth professionals from trying to change the #SexualOrientation or #gender #identity of #LGBTQ minors.

The court’s decision has implications for >20 other states that have similar laws banning [barbaric] so-called #ConversionTherapy, which critics say is ineffective & potentially dangerous for young people.

*message in a bottle, tossed in the ocean - but that's a #mastodon specialty, right?

I worked as a speech therapist for years, but stopped, and I am wondering if I can find anyone who might be interested in textbooks and/or tests?

- English language (some in French)
- I am in France, so I don't see shipping them - unless the receiver wants to pay, but I am willing to travel to meet (depending on situation)

*open to suggestions

This brief highlights a mechanism by which memory is organized, suggesting distinct neural groups encode object-specific details and contextual factors. Understanding this division can inform how memory processes manifest in clinical observations, particularly when clients describe experiences that blend item recognition with situational context. The report points to a transient reconnection of these networks during accurate recall, offering a framework for interpreting memory distortions or context-specific recall in practice.

On the Eve of My Independence

Tomorrow is Monday, March 16. Tomorrow, I officially walk into the clinic and start my new job as a Licensed Professional Counselor.

After four months, eight relocations, and surviving a system rigidly designed to make disabled people fail, I have finally reached the starting line. I survived.

This week was kinda quiet on the mutual aid front. I was able to get groceries and pay some necessary bills (like my phone), though, and amazing person dropped $100 into the GFM, bringing our final rent gap down to exactly $723.

I am literally 24 hours away from stepping into my first full-time job in six years. I just need to hold onto this apartment until my first paycheck arrives.

If you have been waiting for the right moment to help, today is the day. Let's close this final $723 gap so I can go to work tomorrow knowing that Riko and my sanctuary are completely secure. 💜

And truly, to those who have shown support, shared, or donated, thank you for believing in me when I struggled to. Thank you for seeing me to this moment.

I'll keep reporting on the growing good news. 😸
