He tends to be isolated and repeat the same routine daily, including housekeeping and care tasks for … anyone? No one in particular? Making poultices and bandages and preparing cups for medication and the like.
We’ve been trying to encourage him and his little oddish pal to do other things- they both enjoyed gardening with my grandpa in the past, or fishing… but it’s really just the same caretaking routine every day.
He’s also reluctant to eat or drink much? He has a little chansey mobile he drives around with, but that’s about all he does for fun. Otherwise he just kind of sits on the couch and… waits.
Hello. Official appointment request! ^^
Chief the Chansey, with his little Oddish passenger (they are inseparable… we’ve tried) are the clients!
Background: Chief was a medic in the pokewars of yore and belonged to my grandpa. He’s in my care now as my grandpa isn’t able to care for him. He’s not distrustful of humans really, more so he sees them all as in his care and can’t seem to submit himself to their care. He’s been pretty isolated and is mourning my grandmother and the loss of company of my grandpa/ loss of caretaking for him since he is in my families care now.
Hope that’s enough background! Any additional info and scheduling can be tagged:

Thank you for the starting information! That's very helpful! ^^
Breaking out of selfless habits in order to care for yourself or let others care for you can be tough, I've actually had that issue myself before when I get too into the zone. ^^"
Is there any specific habits that really stand out?
Pokerating Day 26, Indeedee?
Note: above picture is a female. Males look notably different.
Charm: Very polite, they seemingly live to serve others? They feed on positive emotion so they do what they can to create positive emotion. There's the moral question of wether good deeds done out of self interest are truly good deeds, but honestly I say since it's mutually positive it doesn't matter. 7/10 but thats biased by never seeing this pokemon before and never seeing one in person.
Care: I think this thing would care for itself. If anything it'll probably care for you more than you need to care for it. 10/10?
Safety: According to pokedex data the worst these'll do is chuck some things at you to get you to leave if your vibes are stank nasty. 9/10?
Utility: Blah blah Galar HM nono. I don't think it'd learn any anyways, except maybe strength? It learns nothing that helps with pokemon catching other than heal pulse either. All of these issues are trivial though since its a dedicated butler thats smart enough to likely be taught how to use various tools and probably even electronics. I bet you could, if dedicated enough, teach one to do your taxes. 10/10. Sure it probably can't learn cut or dig but you could just give it shears or a shovel and it could probably do the same thing.
Battle: I... huh. Apparently these are a menace in double battles. Their hidden ability, psychic surge, is essentially a signature ability since the only other mon known to have it is the legendary Tapu Lele. Psychic terrain nullifies competitive staple moves like sucker punch and fake-out from grounded opponents and almost doubles the power of the already strong expanding force, which also hits both opponents. These factors, combined with also getting trick room, make it one of the strongest double battle support pokemon out there. Note that only the male form can learn expanding force itself along with psychic noise (and other moves), while the female form is slower but can learn follow me, reflect, light screen, and other utility moves. The female variant is usually considered better due to the move follow me. These are two pokemon used exclusively in the highest ranking doubles tournaments and that gets them a 7/10, not higher since they're more enabler than actual win condition and limited use to only the one format.
Final Score:
Charm: 7/10 (subjective)
Care: 10/10 (honestly maybe even 11/10)
Safety: 9/10
Utility: 10/10
Battle: 7/10
Score: 43/50(!!!)
Pet Score: 26/30
Trainer Score: 17/20
Notes: I... what an unexpected winner of the ranking system. Honestly I wouldn't be against it getting 10/10 in charm and safety but I would need to interact with them more to say with certainty. I didn't know this thing existed until now actually.

Hi sibling! Nice to meet you Laser! Poketherapy and human therapy are soooo interrelated! It's a huge theme of my courses! We do come from the same place! :D I'll post plenty about it I'm sure!
My sibling is @newcomer-karp! They wanted me to join them cause they were tired of having to physically show me the cute pokemon posts on here and wanted to be able to send them to me directly...
But it also seems cool! And I'd love to participate and get to know more about the wider world.
I am a therapist in training! I attend Uni for my psych degree! My partner pokemon is Pippy the Chancy (the name made more sense when she was a happiny...but oh well). You are required to have a Chancy to apply for the psych degree, but I happened to already have her ;) She's my icon! In both the literal and blog way.
Pelipper mail: On!
NOTHING ON THIS BLOG IS MEDICAL ADVICE! FOR LEGAL PURPOSES! AND LIKE ACTUALLY IM STILL IN SCHOOL!
But hey, if it helps, it helps!

Hello! Forgot to do this before!
I’m Lorelai! I use he/she as well! No they :)
I actually fully am a psych student in training to be a therapist! This character is very much a self insert, but has a lot of unique bits as well.
I’m super open to everything including shipping and text roleplay! Feel free to interact however!
Cheers!
What would you recommend to help him?
He’d be willing to do an in person appointment, I’m not sure how you feel bout those. I know you mentioned stigma and disliking it as such, so I’d suspect not.
It may be fiddly to try to do an electronic one but we can try!

Oh no- like, to dox you?
That’s no good :(
Say, I can’t help but mention, I saw one of your posts about being hesitant about self-disclosure and that causing distrust with clients. I’ve been learning about self-disclosure in my class and how integral well placed SD can be to building rapport.
What subjects are you hesitant on? How have you found your way around it to build rapport anyway? Feel free to ignore this if it’s too personal! I just figure there’s always something to learn from people ^^
( @poketherapist-in-training)
Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you too!
A fellow therapist who's just recently joined Rotomblr, what a pleasant sight! ^^
How have you been settling so far?

Erm. I guess I was expecting more complexity to that.
How does this work with ya?
Hey B. How are things?
~ @poketherapist-in-training
