Eep
Strange that considering the sort of things I like, all it takes to really freak me out is internal parasites of any kind, but yeah, I have a legitimate phobia of them. And at the same time I find it interesting to observe my reaction 
Also parasites are actually fascinating if I can get past that phobia - some of them have very complex life cycles involving multiple hosts, and they are the only sort of creature that undergoes the reverse of evolution, becoming less complex over time because they rely on their hosts' organs and stuff, for example not needing much of a digestive system of their own because the host does the digestion for them.A 25”/63.5cm tapeworm came out of NHL prospect Carson Meyer a week or so ago!

I just fact-checked myself: it actually came out on February 27th.

Oh my
I think a significant part of what bothers me about internal parasites like tapeworms is that they can be inside you and you might not even know it.

No other symptoms as far as I read. The only way he knew it was in there is when it came out! All two feet of it...

Yes, tapeworms can be more than 80’/25 meters & can survive 30 years in a host, according to the Mayo Clinic website.
The size of the host determines how large the tapeworm can grow.

Yep, I assume he got medicine afterward to kill the rest of the worm if it was still in there. Oftentimes it will only be part of a tapeworm that comes out of a host, while the head stays in and forms more body segments. If I recall correctly, a tapeworm can break at each body segment and will continue to take nutrients from the host and grow as long as the head, or scolex, remains, and will shed segments containing eggs.

Almost everyone, including the current counselor, that has ever interacted with me, acts way too dramatic
Dichotomous thinking
Every slightest thing is an "unfortunate thing that happened" and she is "sorry"
Everything is fortunate, neither, or unfortunate
You can't guarantee just the first two
The statement made it sound like "unfortunate" things should never happen
But unfortunate things happen, sooner or later
And I told her I want to cope with unfortunate things , better
As usual, she said , "uh huh uh huh uh huh"
And she had nothing useful to tell me
It makes me wonder if my nonverbal communication makes it appear that I am really that emotionally fragile, or if she learned to say that in grad school, or if other clients ask her to say that..... Or if that is what she fancies she would want to hear, if she were to have been in my situation
And I don't know what she learned in grad school. That was before I was born.
And I don't know what her other clients say. (Confidentiality)
And I am not, 
telepathic
But I also 
do not feel like I should have to give her one hundred percent benefit of the doubt, just because I don't know
Because that gives her a blank check to make any action or statement
If aikido class becomes too expensive for me to afford financially, maybe nobody in there will interact with me again
Theatrical statement (fine)
But it could be correct
As of yesterday, I did 
flip the dog yoga poses. First time. Right and left sides
The woman from the internship emailed me Thursday and I answered
Yesterday she did not get back to me
Paranoid I wrote something wrong
But whatever
It's just unpaid internship
And I had three accounting internships already
The internship is through the school
So not just anyone can apply
