QT,TA Criteria However, if you’re financially independent, it is totally fine to make your own traditions (not that you need my permission … ). Obviously, if you are financially dependent on your family of origin, you must do what you need to do to keep safe. If it makes you feel great, there’s nothing wrong with you. If the winter holiday season makes you feel like crap for any reason, there’s nothing wrong with you. ![]() Please indulge me a moment and allow me to play queer auncle: th ere is nothing wrong with you. Even if you have the most supportive family of origin imaginable, the winter holidays can be extremely lonely and isolating for queer people.

Doing so can muddy the waters of patient care. If you have children, don't mention them. Avoid saying where you grew up or talking about where you live. When my fellow residents and I ask how much we're supposed to reveal to patients, supervisors tell us less is more. Psychiatrists are often taught to be like blank slates. ![]() Now that I'm a psychiatrist, I'm not supposed to do that anymore. These bonds were critical to patient care, engendering trust between patient and caregiver, providing comfort in clinical settings. When I was in medical school, I spent a great deal of time talking to patients about shared experiences. We talked about our childhoods, our hopes, our favorite places to visit. ![]() Lj shen sinners5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The reason why, though, will blow you away. You also knew that he was a protector who fiercely defended the underdog. ![]() In Vicious, Dean was the ‘good time guy’ and notorious stoner who was slightly detached and always snarky, but you just knew he was hiding something major behind that cool exterior. Of course, it feels like she loves torturing you to get to the reward, but that just makes it so much sweeter to finally make it to the end. She took that premise, twisted it around, and put a pretty bow on it. Once again, I should learn to trust in LJ to have my back. I know, it was a long time ago, but there’s something about ‘keeping it in the family’ that makes me feel a little skeeved out. When I found out who his love interest would be, I’ll admit I was a little concerned about the fact that Dean had previously dated her older sister in Vicious. His story was nothing close to what I expected and yet it was everything I wanted and more. I wasn’t sure how LJ Shen would be able to redeem Dean Cole, but she blew me away with his book.
