Therapeutic Note: Silence
My career journal is filled with scraps of paper, my dreams, countless questions, and thoughts; all of which bring a flood of memories with one powerful statement, which is “I wish someone would have told me this.” So, I’ll be the one telling you.
How to deal with quite clients?:
- Reflecting on what your observing state why you seem quiet, client seems nervous/social anxiety try the feeling game 2 rebellious – not coming regularly
- Figure out where the discomfort of silence is coming from you or client?
- Validate that it can be hard to talk to new people?
- If seen other therapist do, they ask a lot to talk to new people
- Don’t want to interrupt kids
- Sometime a client just needs silence.
- If seen other therapist do, they ask a lot of questions it’s more about what you want to talk about kid!
Advice from a clinical supervisor Stay flexible- as you get to know your clients and what makes them tick, be careful not to “pigeonhole” them based on information about their culture, religion, family background, spirituality, socioeconomic status, etc. Avoid stereotypes. Be open minded. This allows the social worker to work with a wide variety or range of clients. Clients often feel, “if the social worker accepts me, then I must be okay.”
Gossip
Imagine for a second you’re sitting in a café with a good friend, sipping hot beverage’s and chatting about life, love, work and family. Suddenly, the conversation turns to a former acquaintance and our friends relays a story that paints them in an unflattering light. Their comments make you feel awkward, but you nonetheless carry on with the conversation, swamping mean insults bout the person. It’s a common scenario heard in the work place, at home, at the doctors surgery, in the grocery store, on public transport and on evenings out with friends.
Bad mouth others may feel as thought it gives a closer connection between the gossips. In reality, it’s false bond that hurts three people: the ergon you’re seeking about, the person your speaking to and you. It dents personal integrity.

Superpower
I love you all. And my LGBQTIA family, I see everyone of you. The things that makes us different, those are our superpower. Every day you out the door and put on your imaginary cape and go out there and conquer the world, because the world would not be as beautiful as it is if we weren’t in it. –Lena Waithe
Positively Purging-I welcome your feedbacks in the comments and your likes and passing the real life wisdom on to others as I embark on this new venture of “positively purging“, as I know each of these pieces represents something…

Mini Makeover: Recycle Edition
Return grocery bags for recycling. Most supermarkets have bins to recycle plastic bags. Use one bag to store all your plastic bags from shopping as well as from bread, dry cleaning and other items. When its full take them all back to the store. Purge Plastics. Gather lidless, warped, discolored and mismatched plastics storage container’s and toss or put them out with your other plastic recycling.
