there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it
this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive
TBH, one of the things that burns me out the most on social media is the NON-STOP rhetoric of what is right/wrong. The endless list of things I'm doing incorrectly, mistakes I'm making, ways I'm harming my health, etc. It's exhausting.
So. Many. Opinions.
Me, when I randomly remember that looking at screens is bad for eye health because we don't blink enough
I think about it often, esp when me/my clients are using a weird metaphor, turn of phrase, and/or something else that isn't literal
(I don't use AI in my work and try not to use it in my personal life.)
Yesterday I said the phrase, "Bedazzle that bitch" (in reference to an object) and I'd love to see how AI would integrate that into a process note
😂
Bring on the spring!
um...so what day is it?
TBH I love a paper calendar
I'm just a therapist
thinking my own thoughts
writing my own process notes
not using any filters in my photos
The ways people are relying on LLM/AI/etc to do their thinking for them, honestly, it's concerning.
really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.
or they don't have the keyboard sounds muted and I'm listening to the clicking/clacking
OR HEARING their whole dumb conversation!
okay but can you hold the phone old-school style to have a private call? 😜
I'm not saying it's ALWAYS a person approx 50 years or older...
Why do I feel like March will be in like a lion and also out like a lion 🦁
Therapists, I'm curious:
What do you stand for?
And how do you communicate, overtly and covertly, these values to your clients?

PUT THE DIVERSE WOMEN IN CHARGE NOW 🗣️
I admire your patience and perseverance. As we know, it can take time for anyone (much less therapists!) to find a solid connection. Our own therapy work is essential. Best wishes to you!
I should have tagged #TherapistSky here (follow and post to the feed, won't you MH folks?)
So relatable!

I'm glad it went well!
(2/2) ...my self-diagnosis and thankfully these are fairly harmless (especially once you know what's happening!) No treatment, just keeping an EYE on it!
It was scary, and I'm grateful to be okay

Fam, I had my first occular migraine, and it was during a session. I ended it early because I was so worried and distracted. I didn't know what was happening. My client was understanding, and we were able to reschedule w/in 2 days, so that's all good. A visit to the ophthalmologist confirmed...(1/2)
I received an email this morning that said, "I hope you had a weekend." And yes, I did!
What a mood
I got up early to see the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse and it was so cloudy, I couldn't see a thing!
Much of the time for me, unfortunately!
