That's really awesome that you spend time with her like that! Honestly that is probably enough. Time and consideration.

No. Probably not. But often health issues impact each other. Like I have autoimmune stuff too. Not due to my lymphedema- but they love to work together to make me feel like dog crap! When I get inflammation from a flare up, my lymphedema flares too.

Lymphedema is unrelated to heart issues. People can have both though. I have lymphedema and my ankles would look like this for the rest of my life if I was not meticulous about my compression and treatments- but it will not shorten my life. But edema can have several causes. Heart issues are one.

Thank you for sharing! I am literally in the middle of developing a clinical training for mental health therapists working with adolescent boys and young men- already using the mentioned APA guidelines. This article will go into my sources as well.

sounds good to me!

Yup. Sometimes our treatment goals aren’t about “making progress” but about maintaining status quo. USUALLY if we phrase justification for cont treatment is to keep clients from regressing and needing higher levels of care, it works. Insurance REALLY doesn’t want to pay for inpatient.

Frozen veggies are still pretty good for you. And also tasty!

I love my Snoozies!!
