What are therapists allowed to share about their clients? (lemmy.world)
 

I've been in and out of therapy for most of my life, and I've always been under the assumption that therapy sessions are pretty much all confidential, bound by HIPAA, except for in a few circumstances like preventing harm to the client or others.

One of my family members is a family therapist and over the holidays she was sharing stories from her and her colleagues' clients. I was kind of put off by this but didn't want to start anything. None of the information made the clients identifiable, so I thought maybe this was the loophole but that still doesn't sound right to me. Is this normal?

Which browser and search engine would you recommend for parents and older people? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

This might be less popular but DuckDuckGo, depending on age and tech literacy. My 71 y/o aunt keeps downloading things and getting scammed from ads so I figured it would be the safest to set her up on because it's the least customizable and poses the least risk.

    How do you manage private phones with work necessities? (lemmy.world)
     

    I’ve been tinkering with the idea of switching back to a dumb phone. I haven’t dug too far into the search because every time I do, I get hung up on the apps I need for work - outlook, my work keycard app, etc. Is there any good way to work around this? Keep my current phone with only those apps for work, operating on WiFi, and switch my primary phone? If anyone has examples of things they’ve tried and what’s worked, that would be great. TIA!

    I completely agree. I think people mean more like in the scope of basic tasks kids aren’t meant to be doing on computers in school. That’s been basically wrangled into Google and Amazon at this point with a handful outlying things. If you’re doing anything else though, the scope definitely broadens, and you can make it broaden more if you try to eliminate the bigger guys.

    It’s this and it’s not. Chromebooks don’t give kids anywhere to explore outside of chrome and handheld devices provide a controlled environment. A lot of kids (and adults!) are operating with a tablet in place of a computer because the most intensive thing they need to do if they’re not gaming is word processing. It’s big tech overall and the internet shrinking down into like 3 companies.
