Last Notes npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I have never directly spoken to the other Dr. Amy Marschall, but sometimes I get her emails by mistake. I just received the itinerary for a trip she is taking and I want to ask if I can go too. 🤣 I wonder if she got any of my vacation plans. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. So I’m writing an article for a new publication who said they’ll be using an AI checker on my writing. As those things sometimes give false positives for me (since LLMs non consensually used my writing for training), I screen recorded my writing process just in case. The future is so ridiculous. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Why when humans make mouth sounds when they’re eating or drinking do I want to explode but when my cat does it it’s the most adorable sound in the world? npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Anyone in my circles on Metformin? Side effects? My doctor wants to discuss me going on it. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I have to re-credential with a company I contract with. Pretty standard, no problem, just a little time consuming. I need to list peer references. Again, standard ask. BUT It wants me to list a "start date" and "end date" for each reference. This isn't a question I have seen before. It's a mandatory field so I can't skip it. What does this mean?? npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. 2026 is a very spiky year. I've had some of the best things ever happen, and also some of the worst days of my life. So I guess if we're talking statistics, 2026 has been about average. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I have an absurdly sensitive startle response so my husband does this adorable thing when he walks around the house where he claps his hands an chants “I live here, I live here.” It does not always work. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Vera has been pulling tufts of her fur out since Armani passed. We are working with her to help her feel safe and loved but I think she’s grieving. 💜 npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Hi. You all are the best. 💜 npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. This morning Armani was too weak to stand on his own. We went to the emergency vet and she told us it was time. We were with him in the end. He knew he was loved and he’s not in pain anymore. https://files.ohai.social/media_attachments/files/116/912/937/506/472/680/original/cbdc2c8929d94e66.jpg npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I like to keep the algorithm guessing and today I’m getting adds for gendered bathroom signs so I’m calling that a success npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…k39g He’s a sleepy guy but he’s drinking water and asking for treats npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Armani has blood in his stool this morning. He will see the vet this afternoon. I’m terrified we are reaching the point where we can’t maintain his quality of life. Diabetic cats have a life expectancy of 3-5 years post diagnosis if their care is perfect. He was diagnosed six years ago. I hate this. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I went to put him in the carrier. He squatted down, dropped one HUGE poop, and went and stole his sister’s breakfast. Idk what’s happening but we will watch him today. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…judq Kitty 💜 npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Armani is going to the emergency vet this morning for constipation and weakness. He’s not taking food or water. He ALWAYS eats. I’m so worried. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…kaw9 Is it worth getting on there? npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. The only thing I love more than learning is poop jokes so it’s a really good day for me npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. So it’s cool they found a way to help babies be healthy but…um…how was this discovered? https://files.ohai.social/media_attachments/files/116/824/542/382/730/215/original/8257912f95ec3776.jpg npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I met someone today who had an amazing, badass skull necklace and in my infinite social awkwardness told them, “I love your SKULL” npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I just learned that there’s a local triathlon event called Siouxperman and I’m so mad I didn’t think of that pun first This might actually get me to exercise. I need to earn that T shirt. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Recently Vera has been asking to explore the garage. She used to be scared of it so I encouraged her. We just discovered she goes out there because she likes to herd spiders into the house 😩 npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Erickson is ahead by two votes but there are five ballots that can't be counted yet so Smith is definitely still in the running. News outlets are saying it could be weeks before we have a winner. https://www.sfsimplified.com/2026-sioux-falls-mayor-who-won-election-two-vote-difference-recount/ npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. The mayoral race here in Sioux Falls is currently tied and I feel like I’m living in an episode of Parks and Rec Here’s hoping the candidate who wants to build a data center in town does not prevail npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Why are these cat food commercials like “Feed your cat well, you don’t know how much time they’ve got”?? Is it just me or is that horrifying marketing? npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. My high school re did the floors in the theater and pulled up a floor I helped lay in 2004. When they uncovered the wood they found all our signatures from when we installed it. I can’t believe that was 22 years ago!! npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Why do I keep thinking I can be trusted to eat marinara sauce when I’m wearing a white shirt Why do I always crave marinara sauce when I’m wearing white Why didn’t I just change clothes when I’m working from home and all my other shirts are right there 😭🤣 npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…qugf I wonder if there’s any legal reprocessing to posting it early npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Why do I get press releases that are like “this is under embargo til Monday,” like why are you sending that to me? I am not a news organization. I just have a silly little blog. Also I never agreed to keep your secrets so this is a risky game you’re playing npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Never trust the British (this is a joke because it was a British guy claiming he’d never seen lightning before please do not yell at me) npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Also I didn’t realize Europe didn’t have tornados or lightning npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Just found an Irish guy discovering Mall of America. He walked in, saw the aquarium, and went, “Am I in the right place?” Yes sir you are exactly where you need to be npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. One thing lifting my spirits today is seeing Europeans in the US for World Cup absolutely losing their minds over how many soda flavors we have. Their reactions are just so wholesome. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…g0sh No remember he’s scared of dogs npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Vera loves Dean Winchester https://files.ohai.social/media_attachments/files/116/728/820/372/881/592/original/a1aea4882b784454.jpg npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I got a random email from TalkSpace asking me to interview their CEO about their new AI bot. I’m open to it but not for the reasons they assume. Don’t trust any of your data to TalkSpace. They just handed over someone’s entire therapy transcripts to their boss. It’s a privacy nightmare and I don’t understand why they’re still in business, or what kind of therapist would work for them. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. HUD Updates to ESA Letters Back in May, HUD issued a memo with updates around requirements and protections for Emotional Support Animals.... https://resiliencymentalhealth.com/2026/06/09/hud-updates-to-esa-letters/ npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I’m renewing my insurance credentialing and after I submitted the form I got an email from a third party asking me to download an attachment to provide “missing information.” I emailed provider services directly and said hey, I don’t download from third parties, what do you need from me? Turns out that email was not actually sent on their behalf. We caught the phish! npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. We’re at art collective this weekend and it’s basically a fashion show. Everybody looks amazing and has the most creative outfits. You’ll have to take my word for it because I don’t take pics of strangers but I always want to buy new clothes after these. It’s also a regular reminder that I need more tattoos 🤣 npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Nobody Asked Me: Ink Free Welcome to another edition of Nobody Asked Me, the column where I answer advice questions that were not sent to me.... https://resiliencymentalhealth.com/2026/06/02/nobody-asked-me-ink-free/ npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. A mutual on Bsky shared that Linktree is feeding users’ images into AI so I just deleted mine.

There was a move called CHARGE where you could advance all your pieces at once and just annihilate the other player’s pieces 6. The board was massive, like 30x30 squares 7. There were elemental attacks, which I couldn’t figure out a purpose for, but like once in a while he’d yell HYDRO ATTACK and just spray down the board with water I’ll start a league for this if people want to join npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I had a dream last night that my husband was teaching me a new way to play chess. Here are the rules I remember: 1. There was a piece called the dragon that moved like the queen but could only go 4 spaces at a time, not 8 2. You can merge pawns together to create a new piece called the pyramid. I don’t remember what it did 3. There were cards you drew before each turn that could give you advantages or challenges 4. One of the cards he drew was called Sundown and it meant that we turned the 1/ npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…4zs6 I watched the first five seasons when they originally aired! Season six didn’t hold my attention but I want to try again npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…4zs6 🎸 npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Watching Season Four now. If you know that demons are trying to open enough seals to get Lucifer out of Hell why would you spend time on side quests? I feel like that should be taking up all your energy. Jensen Ackles playing air guitar on his own leg is still amazing though 🔥🔥🔥 npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. So I’ve been doing a Supernatural re watch and I feel like I need a counter for every time somebody gets a massive cut on their face that should definitely leave a scar but it’s completely healed by the next week npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D.

I did a tarot pull last night and the message was basically “someone you thought you could trust has betrayed you” and I think I know what it’s referring to but if I’m wrong please make yourself known, I really don’t have time for this npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D.

Does anybody else get embarrassed when you have the hiccups in public or is this just a weird, irrational thing I do? npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D.

National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Note: This post deviates from my regular, mental health-related blog content. But it felt like a good thing to talk about, and no one is here to stop me, so here you go. When I was a graduate student, I signed up for the National Marrow Donor Program (at the time known as Be The Match). They are a national (United States) registry of people who are willing to donate bone marrow to a stranger should the opportunity arise. https://resiliencymentalhealth.com/2026/05/19/national-marrow-donor-program-nmdp/ npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I'm having a lot of anxiety waiting on my blood test results today. I know this response is not rational but it's there. If you've recently seen any good memes, or taken any pictures of your pets, would love to distract myself 💜 npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D.

(I'm in Sioux Falls, South Dakota) Tornado watch issued! Remember: Watch means, "Watch out! Something could happen," and Warning means "WARNING a tornado has been spotted!" npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I’m “my headache can tell when it’s going to rain” years old I guess. Love that for me. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Vera had her annual check in with the vet today and she needs a dental. I think the scheduler is overwhelmed: Me: So I don't see clients on Fridays, so can we schedule for a Friday? Her: We've got availability Tuesday. Me: Ok but what about a Friday? Her: In two weeks we can see her Monday. Me: Ok but how about a FRIDAY. Her: Yes we can see her on Friday in three weeks. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. One of my toxic traits is giving people the benefit of the doubt when they don’t deserve it. Probably because of the times I felt I deserved some grace but didn’t get any. Shout out to the people who try to warn others! Even when we don’t listen 💜 npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D.

I saw someone in a local FB group ask for help accessing therapy and there were over 20 responses offering help 2. A company I contract with gave me some really nice positive feedback 3. Not my place to share specifics but a friend got good news today! npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I just accidentally sent a fax to myself instead of the requesting party. (Copied the "to" number on the request I received rather than the "reply" number.) My fax service was like "Fax has been sent" and then immediately went "Fax received" and it was what I had just sent. Why is there even an option to do that. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. So yesterday we stopped by the hardware store and for whatever reason my purse set off the alarm when we came in. I was like huh weird. On the way out it happened again, so staff approached me because that’s their job. A man I don’t know ran up and was like “I saw her come in! It did that before too! She didn’t steal anything!” The staff wasn’t being aggressive or anything but it was a nice community moment. Thanks for vouching for me, random stranger! npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Today is my birthday.

Also these size prints aren't standard now because of the border, so it will be harder for people to get them framed if they want to npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…m8cj See that's my thought, but my prints just arrived and the ones I requested with a border are larger and now the protective sleeves I got are too small. Wanted to do a gut check before I complained in case this is an industry standard I just wasn't aware of npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Question - if you order an art print, and your order is that you want an 11x14 print with a 1" border, is it assumed that the print itself is 11x14 and the border goes beyond that, or does it mean the product is 11x14 and the painting is a little smaller because of the border? npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. When you take a course online does it take anything away if the instructor shows the slides but not their face (versus showing both)? Asking because I recorded this morning without my face and realized I’m not anywhere near as tired as I usually am after, and wondering if having to attend to my appearance is part of it. If nobody actually cares, maybe I do it this way going forward? npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I'm proud to say JRC blocked me on Twitter after I replied to their posts with "This you?" with a link to articles about them torturing children. And also why has it taken this long to make it illegal to shock children. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/04/fda-electric-shock-disabled-autistic-children-punishment/ npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…af2w This is true! We just got a CD set up that's going to give us a little bit of monthly interest income. I was hoping to give more short-term options but that's maybe something to talk about too npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Why didn't WordPress share my blog today? It didn't share on ANY of my socials. The bot they replaced customer support with says it's my fault. *Shrug* https://resiliencymentalhealth.com/2026/04/28/passive-income-for-mental-health-providers/ npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…kaw9 People hate authenticity because it's not as profitable npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…kaw9 Ahhh so adds disguised as conversations, not manipulative at all (sarcasm) npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…kaw9 What a gross company! Hey let's fine a safe online space for this community and profit by infiltrating it with adds npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I called to confirm they’ll stay outside the fenced off area and they were like well we are going to do whatever we need to do and I was like “I think I’m not being clear, I’m not asking, I’m telling you that you don’t have permission to touch my fence or come onto my property” so the good news is I think I’m getting over my people pleasing npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Some new internet company is installing stuff in our neighborhood so I looked them up and they’ve got a bunch of online reviews about how they damaged people’s property during installation so that’s something fun I have to look forward to! npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…4zsc You can’t survive long with no liver so I can’t imagine they’d remove one unless you were getting a transplant. It sounds like the doctor “thought the spleen was enlarged” npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I just saw a case where a surgeon got indicted for murder because he took a patient’s liver out instead of the spleen, and don’t get me wrong I’m glad he’s getting charged and probably losing his medical license, but did nobody else in the OR go “Excuse me sir I think he’s gonna need that later”?! More people need to be held accountable here. The doctor 10000%. But so does anybody else who was in the room and didn’t stop it. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Ok so I was driving so I didn’t get a pic but I saw a double rainbow 🌈 🌈 on my drive home!! npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Annual compliance training day! So far I’ve learned: - I’m not allowed to bribe anyone even if they’re outside the US - I’m not allowed to commit fraud - HIPAA is still a thing Will keep you all updated npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…rg8m Ah, maybe just me! I'll try updating and re-starting. Thank you! npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Is Zoom crashing out for anybody else today? Yes I submitted a ticket, but apparently because I opted for the cheaper healthcare provider plan I don't qualify for live support and they'll take 2-3 days to get back to me :blobcateyeroll: npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…jwwe Oh GOD no!! npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…6n7u I make no promises npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…yelv It was an amazing weekend though npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Jesus died for my sins and I’m going to make sure he gets his money’s worth npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…dyu0 that may be a low estimate npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. There are soooo many bunnies in our back yard this morning! 🐇 npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…0mtk The bookstop wants cheese npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. Once in a while I’ll see a LinkedIn post or a TikTok that opens with “Nobody talks about how hard it is to be a therapist…” and I’m not sure where they’re hanging out because yes we do? We talk about it all the time? Who is out there saying being a therapist is easy? I also talk about how it’s WORTH IT because I love my job. But like if you think “nobody” talks about the hard parts then you clearly aren’t talking to anyone ever 🤣 npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I found the cutest bookmark today! https://files.ohai.social/media_attachments/files/116/347/928/737/470/676/original/84105bab7b2b4ed1.jpg npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…a4ar Bee-utiful!! 🤣 npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. In honor of Autism Month I am watching a documentary about bees npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…lfum I mean the entire US system is a shit show. There are companies I’ve turned down working with because I have ethical concerns about their practices. This one has made some big changes since I signed on with them in 2020 and honestly I’d leave if I didn’t have clients who’d be left hanging npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…lfum HIPAA and ethics codes are the same for my EAP clients as they are for private pay. I’m not sure where you’re located so maybe it’s different outside the US. npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @nprofile…lfum I took on a couple for accessibility for my clients - I’m not sure what you mean about them being used in court, since anything could technically be subpoenaed. There’s actually better protection of my notes from EAPs versus what insurance companies are allowed to demand npub10vl0yl0c70gv2cvsmlnys7kksecpue9yurmxsjuyu4wk2whvrn6qaaxsf2 Dr. Amy, Psy.D. I just learned that an EAP I work with charges more than twice what they pay me per session as their late cancellation fee, and yet their reports all indicate they aren’t profitable. Sorry but with those margins if you’re still in the red, you’ve got no business running a company.
