I Doubt My Grandparents Had The Foresight For That, Tbh. They Were ‘learn From What I Do’ Types.

Doing this a lil out of order but!

🪐 Fave Ground type?

Palossand! This might surprise most people that know me- I mean, I hate sand. It’s rough, it’s course, it’s irritating and it gets everywhere! But hear me out-

ITS CUTE. And maybe it’ll pick up all the sand for me if I give it … sand … treats? I’ve never had a pokemon like it, so I have no idea.

🐉 Fave dragon type

Goomy and its entire line… SQUISHY CUTE BOIS. We have so many where we are and it’s always a delight to see them.

Gabite and its line is a close second cause of my sibling. And dreepy cause it’s cute!

⚙️ Fave steel type

Galarian Meowth… what a lil gremlin…

I have a soft spot for mawile and Aron too though. Mawile cause when I was edgy in middle and high school they were my favourite and I drew so many of them eating my least favourite classmates and teachers. Aron cause … cute lil guy. I watched one walk into two seperate walls in a video once and fell in love.

Thanks for asking!

Took this a few days ago but Karp kept saying I should post it- so here it is! Pippi said only nice comments about her cute brows- they are apparently all the rage amongst chancy these days.

How do you imagine the charmanders and totadile sleep? All snuggled up with their mama, in a pile? Side by side. Or do the babies never sleep and keep mama up all night their their antics?

they tuckered themselves out

sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words

//Reblog if your blog accepts interactions from sentient/sapient Pokémon! Would love to interact more, but want to make sure I don't interrupt anyone's canon by mistake

Oooo a lot of interesting stuff here. So I imagine ethics are quite different in your field? Privacy is of the utmost importance to human psychology. There’s a lot of reasons for it, including safety and stigma, and very little info is needed because of how documented everything is in our culture… so I suppose in your field it’s more important to keep the pokémon’s… owner feels tactless, but those associated with the pokémon’s privacy?

Do you do therapy on a lot of wild pokémon? Or is it mostly domestics?

I imagine it’s different with high intelligence pokemon as well? It’s interesting that disclosure wouldn’t factor in, but it makes sense…

Gosh, my head is spinning- so many questions!

Hey. Laser mentioned you're looking to be a therapist, said we might get along since I'm a pokemon psychologist.

Figured since I'm running the blog today, I might as well say hey. Hope your studies are going well.

@licensed2faint (//laser is letting the BF run the blog today)

Oh hi!

I was curious about you! Nice to meet you!

Do you have any idea where pokemon therapy and human therapy diverge? I’ve been curious about this since in most of my classes it’s emphasized how interconnected and similar they can be…

Hope to talk to you more!

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?

You’d think, but he’ll even go work odd jobs in the community to fund his own stuff…

What usually gets him to stop is when Teenie the Oddish’s leaves start to wilt from heat. So there’s that at least…

Teenie gets him to sun bathe outside now and again, which is nice. It’s cute how close they are. :)

Ahhh stigma..

I see. So is there a point of comfort with clients where you do disclose? Or is it just an overall no-no due to generalized stigma?

Sorry to hear it- can’t help but relate though. :’) Though as a matter of relating I can’t disclose why! Is that irony? I always struggle with the definition of irony.

Well, it’s so cool to meet someone interesting I also relate to and share a career with! I hope to talk to you more and see you around!

Nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too!

A fellow therapist who's just recently joined Rotomblr, what a pleasant sight! ^^
