hi all! i plan to go back to school to get a masters in psychology, and i wanted to know if anyone has any recommendations for online programs. i don’t feel particularly drawn to any of the schools i’m looking at. i graduated with my bachelors in psych with a 3.97 from an accredited school, i am looking for specialization in mental health, health and wellness, or related, and i am only looking for online programs thanks!

the school i’ve looked into thus far: adler, the chicago school, walden, american public uni, capella and SNHU

Hey fellow therapists!

I’m a therapist and coach working primarily with late-diagnosed neurodivergent adults, especially those who are also part of the LGBTQ+ community and have experienced complex trauma. I’m launching a podcast that’s part educational, part validating, and part rebellious — aimed at helping neurodivergent folks feel seen, understood, and empowered to live unapologetically.

The show will dive into topics like: • The overlap between neurodivergence and queer identity • How trauma shows up in ND clients (and how it’s often misinterpreted) • Unmasking, self-advocacy, and boundaries • Burnout recovery and nervous system regulation • The ways ableism, heteronormativity, and capitalism intersect and impact our clients (and us) • …and plenty of spicy sidebars about being “too much” or “too weird” in clinical spaces

I’m currently looking for: • A possible co-host who shares a similar lens (ND, queer, trauma-informed, etc.) • Guest therapists who’d love to chat about specific intersections, experiences, or ideas related to these topics • Folks who are open to candid, compassionate, maybe even a little irreverent conversations. Cursing may happen. So may laughter.

I’m based in the Pacific Northwest, and the podcast definitely has a little of that moody forest + weird magic energy — but I’m totally open to collaborating with folks from anywhere.

You don’t have to be ND or queer yourself to participate, but being affirming and trauma-informed is a must. I’m also open to talking about your own lived experiences (within whatever boundaries you’re comfortable with) if that’s something you feel called to share.

Let me know if you’re interested or have questions — I’d love to connect!

Hi People,

I came across this reel talking about why people lie, specifically partners.

The person talks about how people will lie to you if they don't feel safe.

The reel

So now i am told that if my partner spends time with someone from the opposite gender and hides or lies about it to me. Then i am responsible for those lies?

What are your thoughts? If this is true do you mind sharing the idea behind this concept?
