If you don't want to engage with it, don't engage with it. Afterall, this is your business and no one else's. She should know how to have these discussions whilst helping you manage your emotions and overwhelm, you don't need to work that out on your own.
Thanks for this!

A skilled therapist has a duty of care to the client, to ensure that they [the client] do not become unduly distressed during sessions, especially when dealing with difficult subject matter.

I would think it would be the same as for us.

I suppose I was thinking of it in terms of disposable vapes being banned here as well as the tobacco sale ban to young people and how that would fit with an American libertarian, conservative set of values. I think the British have a mixed relationship with such individualism - on the one hand we are British and think we can do what we like and believe we still rule the world; on the other hand we are very class/political subservient, respect hierarchy and do what we are told. Tally-ho.

I imagine the French have no time for it and the Greeks must be positively outraged.

I've read it's a big issue among teens here (U.S.). They're trying to crack down more on underage sales and marketing. My brother-in-law used to vape--used it to stop smoking. Unsure whether he still does? I think there's this conception that it's a lot safer than cigarettes, but there's still health risks and addiction concerns, if it's a nicotine vape. Recreational cannabis is also legal in many states now, including mine, so I think lots of people will vape that, too.
Thanks for this!

OK, I realize that sounded like, "The kids these days!" But while talking to Dr. T today, I mentioned seeing someone I knew in college in a Facebook group. Then I said, "I guess I knew her more than 20 years ago." Then, "Oh, I guess I graduated college 25 years ago in May. Huh." I sort of stared into space for a moment after that.

I got married a couple of months after one of my cousins, and his wife is on facebook, so it feels like i am constantly being reminded of the anniversaries - their actual, my... what would be the word? Theoretical?

i'm so silly. i spent half my lunch restarting my laptop multiple times, running scans, clearing caches, etc because it seemed like it wasn't working. It finally dawned on me after work that I hadn't checked to see if it was just that my mouse wasn't working... and tada that was it. yeesh! just ordered a new one on amazon.

I love being old. Other than needing reading glasses and not healing fast I don't see any downsides. I have also memorized final exit so I don't get trapped by do-gooders.

I vape pot but not tobacco. I had to give up tobacco because it was making me sick - I loved smoking hookah but one or two puffs and it was like classic signs of nicotine poisoning. It got so bad that even the smell would cause me to feel ill.

Pretty accurate on both Andy Capp and the clip except for the scarf - I would end up like Isadora duncan in a matter of minutes

I have a habit of filing photos away that I think I'm going to paint at some point.

This one was from 2017.

Finally did something with it today.

I made some dog treats tonight out of homemade bone broth and bone meal, rice, and dehydrated pumpkin - they smell so bad but the dogs have gone bonkers for them.

That certainly would be in the canine version of A Few Of My Favorite Things.

This legitimately sounds like the kind of recipe which is recommended for a holistic, wholefood perimenopausal busting breakfast. It worries me that I read it and thought how beneficial that would be for my collagen levels and connective tissue health.
