Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

People usually go to therapy for a reason. If you're 3-4 sessions in and there is no treatment plan with explicit goals to address the reason you're there, that's a bad sign. If you're in therapy for a while and don't feel like progress is being made, also a sign to address it directly with your therapist or move on to someone else.
Therapy is not going to be a measurable experience like you want it to be. The literature consistently shows the most common predictor of success in therapy is how well you get along with the therapist. Other evidence-based treatments (eg CBT, DBT, CPT) are geared toward specific symptoms, and not as useful for the "worried well"
It would also be against most therapists' ethical codes to treat you without directly communicating and coordinating with your other providers. If they find out you're in treatment with other therapists at the same time and hiding it, they would probably terminate services.
I appreciate the actual information. I had hoped among other things calling Donald Rumsfeld wise would give away that I'm not being entirely serious.
Oh, I quote Rumsfeld all the time and just thought we were jibing. Like Donald Rumsfeld always said, "I believe what I said yesterday. I don't know what I said, but I know what I think and I assume it's what I said."
Ah, got it! You go to war with the army you have.
