@hellfrog It’s like dating.
This must be why I’m not MU*ing anywhere right now. I understand.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
someone oversteps something that I didn’t know was a boundary until after they stepped over.
what’s fun is when you overstep your own boundary without realizing it and hurt your own feelings minutes later.
“oooh, this will add some emotional juice!!”
…
“oh god, shit, the juice is too juicy.”

@Kestrel That’s not at all what I said.
ETA: But, of course, also important to remember.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
It feels even worse, for me, when someone oversteps something that I didn’t know was a boundary until after they stepped over. So you feel, in a way, violated but you also know that you can’t really be angry at them—you didn’t know, they didn’t know.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
However, there are reasons that I’m not willing to commit to relationship RP and if I do commit to it, I have an OOC discussion of things I would like to avoid.
Some people get so invested that it’s scary and I prefer to avoid that.

Y’all also look to have a couple of weird bots in the user list that I went ahead and reported. But I dunno, maybe someone actually does want to buy the best hair transplants in Pakistan from really real actual human Zoey Draven.
@Tez Nothing seems broken, but we once again have some truly spectacular bots in the user list. My current favorite is “Wilford Overby #9”, which is clearly such a common name that we must have multiples of them here. The online casino with a profile page that’s written entirely in Filipino has a fun banner, though, so that’s a nice touch.
Sadly, the forum would only let me report a few of them before it decided that I must be the actual bot. Am I even real, you guys?

RE: RL Peeves
It’s complicated; every client is different, etc, etc., caveat, caveat…
Therapy, at its core, is helping someone to make a change.
Often, what a client thinks they need or want to change isn’t at all what they need to change, and it’s part of a therapist’s job to help a client explore those unseen avenues.
Admittedly, my scope is typically working with survivors of domestic abuse—there’s something delightfully fulfilling about being a Safe Male Figure in someone’s life for, perhaps, the first time. But the intention is the same: Help a client uncover maladaptive or dangerous behaviours, thought patterns, etc, and then with time help them overcome the need for such strategies, untangle the core of their particular problems while also helping them mitigate the impact of their, for lack of a better term, symptoms.
If all a therapist does is validate and ego-boost, they’ve failed both the client and themselves. That’s an emotional fluffer, not a therapeutic partner.
