@CheerBear I am not entirely sure if "gooey moments" are quite my thing, but I get what you mean. 
I super wish I could hang out with you and the LF really really. Imagine if we could buy a giant property with a super nice house for you and the LF at one end, and another house for me at the other end. Then we could be a bit more together but still not. I could come and play with the LF and get them super hyped up and over-tired, and then just leave you with them and go home. 
I think I am ready to snuggle back into your pocket for the night now. I'm super glad I got brave and snuck into Forum Land tonight. I feel bad because I'm not in the headspace to say hello to any new people or check in on the yoga thread or anything, but I guess that's just good self-care right now. Today is hard and tomorrow will be hard and quite a few days to come will be hard. The two run-ins with the BM really really really didn't help the situation, but I guess I'll survive. After all, I do have a 100% perfect track record of surviving each day - as do you! 
Good night @CheerBear.
I super need to debrief. I just had a tutoring session with one of my stats clients. She was expressing frustration about the fact that she wants to learn DBT but the practice manager where she is doing her placement just brushes her off telling her that no one actually LEARNS how to do DBT, they just do it by themselves in their own practice. My client was saying how that isn't ok by her and she wants to learn how to do it properly, especially for when working with BPD clients.
It was so so SO hard. On the bright side, it is super cool that she personally recognises how not ok it is for psychologists to play around with therapies they aren't properly trained in, and I was also extremely relieved that she didn't say anything derogatory about people with BPD. Methinks she is definitely one of the "good guys," but she is hamstrung by the absurd situation whereby psychologists don't actually learn how to be psychologists at uni - and she is doing her masters to become a clinical psychologist!!! No doubt she will at some point invest in training in her particular areas of interest, paying for it out of her own pocket (which explains in part why psychologists are so darn expensive).
It makes me SO angry the way people pay psychologists a bazillion dollars assuming they know what they are doing, when in reality, a lot of them simply don't. It terrifies me that society sets them up as "experts" when really so many of them are just making stuff up as they go along. I super like this client and the mere fact that she sees her lack of knowledge as a problem, tells me that she is one of the good guys.
