Couch 186: Pink Lemonade

Good guess! Yes. From some comments/posts his wife made, she clearly is, no idea of his beliefs, like does he buy into it, go along with her, what? I mean, I'm someone who does look into some alternative treatments--I saw her posts in a biomed group that we were both in (she's left it). But the whole biomed thing can just be, say, giving magnesium instead of Miralax (might have different name where you are--polyethylene glycol--not actually FDA-approved for kids and they're conducting study on safety) for constipation or giving vitamins/fish oil supplements to help improve body/brain function along and up to anti-vax, chelation (which can be dangerous), etc. It's a wide, well, spectrum. I'm on the much less extreme end of it. I have a public health degree, so I really can't buy into the anti-vax thing. Plus the guy who published stuff about it, Wakemen, had his license revoked, the journals retracted the studies (which is a huge deal--I do copy editing for science journals and retractions are extremely rare). So...yeah, now I'm like, "Does my T, who seems pretty intelligent, buy into this?"

I'm just scared. I know I crossed a boundary. I should have known better than to cross it. I should have had the willpower. I didn't. He's not just "another male authority figure," more someone else I may have ****ed things up with. Because I'm me.

They just started being legal to sell a few months ago in Switzerland, now there's small bags of crickets, grasshoppers and meals worms that you can buy in every normal supermarket.

So how do you handle it if you've maybe learned something about your T's beliefs, and it's something you want to ask them about. But to do that, you'd have to admit to reading more than you'd admitted to reading, and, knowing my T, he'd get all of his own emotions involved in that, which could potentially lead to a rupture, and I don't want that right now? It's a belief that would make me sort of doubt his intelligence (not really a political thing, to clarify). Plus I doubt he'd admit to feeling one way or the other anyway. And be all "boundaries," but this is something that's affecting how I think about him. Stupid Facebook... And me letting myself go down a bit of a rabbit hole...

Or do I just do my best to put it out of my mind and proceed with therapy as normal?

Yup. I only know this because Mrs Twit decides to cook a plate of worms with spaghetti for Mr twit.

I dont even want to know if those are real people!!!

LT-I wouldn’t touch that one with a 10 foot pole. I would leave it be..just my opinion.

Does anyone here have a bed desk? I’m thinking of something like this:

Overbed desk

I often wish I could work in bed, bed being nice and safe and warm and I seem to be sick a lot, but would a bed desk tempt me to spend too much time in bed?

Touching the untouchable is what therapy is all about.

It looks pretty, but I think you'll find that there is no comfortable way to use it.

You have. Look at your stats.

But you’ve never given me one...

I will go delete the hugs if I can figure out how - every so often I hit the hug button instead of the thanks one - it happens when I am not wearing my reading glasses. I have never intentionally hit the hug button.
