Can't be sincerely dark without being called edgy, can't be sincerely emotional without being called melodramatic, can't be sincerely silly without being called stupid. They're gonna hate every emotion you put in your art no matter what so make it anyway and be as sincere as you can be

caring about things is cool being passionate is cool being earnest is cool being genuine is cool being compassionate is cool

Cool :) I hope to reach that level of comfortability with many clients in the future as well. Though my … condition has no overt physical element, so there’s that.

Thank you for humoring me!

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?

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!

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 ^^

A therapist in training!

The distinction is super important no?

I’m barely settled! But I’m so excited- I tend to avoid social media (just not my thing) but this one’s so unique :) I have a feeling I’ll enjoy it and the folks on it much more!

I’ve even gotten to talk to some pokémon on here! Mind blown!

What have your experiences been so far? Would love to hear about them!

(@wingsofachampion) Hiya! What's your favorite thing about humans? -Tropius

Hi Tropius!

Gosh, I know this is a cop out but everything! You’ll have to tell me if this is similar to your experiences!

Humans are so creative. We’re a story telling species, we evolved to share information and knowledge and internal realities via art and stories and conversation.

We’re so loving. We evolved to have such deep intimate relationships, platonic and romantic and otherwise. Humans are so entirely interconnected- so are pokémon! Humans and many pokémon share this quality. We are interdependent and survive by helping each other, learning from each other, supporting each other.

There will always be bad people and pokemon, but that doesn’t mean the majority aren’t loving, creative people. Good and Bad are contextual- but love and respect and creativity are everywhere.

What’s your favourite thing about pokémon?

Nice to meet you!

there was a great study a few years that went into the whole "ppl online are bigger jerks than irl cuz theres a virtual wall and no repercussions" and the researchers were expecting to see that be the case but it turns out that people who were really angry or argumentative online were also found to just be assholes in person and people who were pretty patient and nice online were found to be patient and nice in real person as well

and it just debunked that whole cynical idea that people will naturally be mean if theres no punishment for it

Big mood! It's my career and passion! :D

Greetings!

I am Elias / Ellie ! I go by she/her and he/him prons, no they/them please!

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!

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!

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!
