@academic-chatter.bsky.social Testing a theory for research: when someone says “mass school shooting” in the United States, which incident is the first one you think of? And where are you generally located?

Legitimate question while doing research: how do we NOT get flagged on a watchlist because of the research we’re doing 🫣

Tell your reps:

Not Vance repeatedly making direct eye contact with the cameras and frowning during the announcement #impeachTrump

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

Ugh.

Same. Glad to know we were all awake together though!

So so so thankful for my time at Vanderbilt and working with the CAPOC team. Thank you for helping me grow as a clinician and allowing me to be a part of your team! I will always carry a little piece of Vandy with me. On to new things!

Dragons love Tacos!

Final day of seeing patients at Vanderbilt is bittersweet. Excited for new adventures and reuniting our family, but will deeply miss my colleagues and patients

good morning. have you washed your hands today? 👀

Looks like it’s time to increase my donation amount to my local NPR and PBS stations

I’m doing a big yard sale because we’re moving in two weeks 🫣

What are you doing?

Mental health days should be offered and treated the same as regular sick days when it comes to work.

Change my mind.

If you have a therapist in your life who is a friend, colleague, or family member (not your therapist)

Check in with them

Ask them how they’re doing and what they need

Give them a hug (with consent!)

Bake them a treat, buy them dinner

—> Thank you to all you dedicated therapists!!! 💚💚💚

I’m with you! I have no issue with them looking me up because they want to know more about me since they’re trusting me with their vulnerabilities. I don’t look them up unless they tell me to and we do it together in session

When I worked with the formally incarcerated, they told me they tried to look me up on social media because they were curious. Needless to say, I don’t have many social media accounts. Or at least lots of protections in place if I do

Congratulations!!!

Thank you Greyhound!

Extremely appreciative of the Data over Dogma podcast for using their platform to constantly call out Christian Nationalism. Check it out and @maklelan.bsky.social works to help combat disinformation with your CN and MAGA fam

Enjoying this set up in the waiting room of my own children’s therapist. Additionally thankful for therapists who have weekend availability!

This has been such a long week 💚

Friendly reminder that your behavioral health providers do not have to put up with your abuse and behavior just because we are in a helping profession. We will set appropriate boundaries and consequences for your behavior while still striving to help. But not at the risk of our safety

When we were getting my son diagnosed for ADHD, I was asking my mom about family history. Turns out I was diagnosed as a child - she just never told me. Didn’t want to it to affect my view of myself 🫠 I specialize in neurodevelopmental disorders

So glad to hear you make time for your own therapy!! I know it helps you to be a fantastic therapist!! I’ll have to check that book out

Oooh! I’ll add it to my to-reads

Absolutely vital!

All important things!!!

In honor of my birthday, I finally decided to read a book by my namesake - Danielle Steel.

Starting off with the The Gift.

What books of hers do you recommend?

Happy Monday #TherapistSky!

What are you reading/working on this week?

I’m reading Low Demand Parenting by Amanda Diekman and updating treatment plans for all of my patients as I’m transitioning out of our outpatient clinic and preparing for our move.
