Question by Travis: Getting help with addiction, treated badly! is this entrapment?
Okay, so I have been wanting to get help with my opiate addiction. So I went to a recovery center for help with getting on Suboxone. On Monday I went in to speak to a panel to see if they would accept me into the program and they agreed that I was a suitable candidate for suboxone treatment “these people were higher ups!!!”
Today I went in for a follow up appointment to get a chart and panel started for me they do group therapy and different things that help with addiction. Okay so on monday I told them i was dirty and would fail a drug test.
Today I went in and did a urinalysis or “piss test” and failed, DUH!!! well when I was talking to a very nice older woman about my addiction an filling out lots of paperwork this “Snooty Broad” walked in and says to me
“Did you drive here today?” which I reply “YES” then she says “But You’re High!!!” to which I reply
“No I am not, I used yesterday but not today!” so she says “you failed the drug test so you must be high!!”
which I replied “So, by your logic if I smoke a joint on the first of the month and I pee dirty 2 weeks later that mean I was high for 2 weeks? I am actually in mild withdrawal, you dont know what you’re talking about.”
So then she tells me that she is going to call the cops on me if I dont call someone for a ride, and that I am all “whacked out because I am shaking.” then I told her ” I am no all whacked out I didn’t piss dirty for meth or some shit like that I pissed dirty for opiates I am shaking because I am starting to withdrawal” so long story short on my way out the door this bitch called the cops on me for “FELONY DUI” but she couldn’t call until I left because she didn’t know what car I came in so she didn’t know my tag number or anything. So I hauled ass home and left a voice mail on one of the higher ups machines oh yeah BTW none of the higher ups were there today.
This broad said that Its state law (Missouri) to call the cops if someone drives out after failing a piss test which is soooo bullshit. I also had to do a Breathalyzer test which I passed just fine.

Question by eunice a: when and where does cognitive perspective started?
when and where does cognitive perspective started?

Best answer:

Answer by Dr. Bob
If you are asking about the origins of cognitive therapy, there are several possible answers, all depending on the person you “talk” to.

For example, Dr. Albert Ellis came up with what he called “Rational Emotive Therapy” in the mid 1950s. He believed his approach was unique, although he did acknowledge the precedent of Dr. Alfred Adler. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Ellis

Later, Dr. Aaron Beck developed what he called “cognitive therapy” in the 1960s. Again, he believed his approach to be unique, although he, too, acknowledged the precedent of Dr. Alfred Adler. He also owed some of his ideas and therapeutic procedures to Albert Ellis, whom he was less willing to give much credit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_therapy

Man Who Slapped Black Baby On Plane Pleads Guilty, Still Definitely Not Racist

We are genuinely sorry for his loss, but are not quite sure that the scientific literature demonstrates a strong correlation between grief and shouting “shut that n****r baby up” while slapping a 19-month-old. We should probably study up on that. Still …

Question by Cassi(!): Working with children with troubles?
I’m in high school, but I’m trying to look into careers.

One thing I’ve noticed I’ve always loved is helping people. ‘Specially people who’re troubled (Cancer patients, abused, neglected, down syndrome, ect.) Ick- that sounds awful, but I mean it with absolute kindness. I’ve suffered through eating disorders and abuse in my lifetime, and I would love to be able to help people with things I’ve gone through- because I look back and I wish i had someone to help me with my problems. Mainly I want to help kids and elderly- but adults as well.
So what would you consider the “dream job” for me?

Thank you! (:
