Hello fellow ND therapists, I am bordering dangerously on bursting at the seams. I could feel it somatic ally this morning and my compassion fatigue meter is increasing exponentially as I see clients throughout the day.

I already limit the number of people I see, and I do have a therapist already. I have a psych appt next week as well so I might be asking for something alongside my ADHD meds to help manage this. Some things I'm doing/will be doing:

-Taking 2 days off next week (after a half day off) because realistically I need a vacation but want it to be away from everyone, including my spouse and pets (which is triggering guilt, too, yay!)

-Going somewhere with nature or the sea, as these things tend to calm me.

What are some of the tools you all employ?

Do you have any advice or tips? Cats, dogs, birds, etc.

I know of the existence of companies that let you fly with your pet, but I'm more asking for experiences with their behavior, needs etc while flying, and after arriving?

Hello neighbors, I am wondering if any of you have experience or any recs for someone who is on a weight loss journey and would like places or people who are plus-size friendly? I have heard of Ascent Fitness, so I am just looking for extra recs around Tacoma-Puyallup, and even Auburn areas. Thanks!
