Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

[Srain]

I can't help but think at the end of the session if I pay that copay then feeling like saying, "was it good for you?"

 

[The Albatross]

"You talk too much"

(he doesn't speak very much at all)

 

[bittersweet]

T: "The reason I am here is to help you"
Me: "Actually, the reason you are here is because you want to get paid"

T: "I feel that you are overreacting about your trauma. It's no big deal"
Me: "How about you have what happened to me, happen to you and let me know how you feel. You can't judge what you haven't experienced"

T: "This therapy may be expensive but it's needed to help you heal"
Me: "The Hershey bar in my fridge does the same job and only cost me a dollar"

T: "Are there any other things you haven't shared with me?"
Me: "Well sure, I took a long wiz this morning, farted in my sleep, and oh...I hid about 30 bodies in my basement"

T: "How are you feeling?"
Me: "Well I'm sitting in a session with you, how the heck do you think I feel?"

I just want to add that I LOVE the concept of this thread!

I have not laughed so hard in a long time! Some of these are just HILARIOUS! Thanks so much for sharing!

T: (in response to me waiting a damn long time for her to say something, anything) Where did you go?
M: HERE!! I'VE Been right HERE all this time!

I suppose I should consider myself lucky that after a month of sessions I haven't heard any cliches yet. LOL I'll let you know if I do though.

Then again he may be afraid to use them with me. I'm pretty quick on the uptake and sarcasm's a part of my charm. LOL

Wow.. is all I can say.

I have been seeing my psych over a year now and I can only rehash what Kim has said..

Only once did I really have somewhat of a run in with her (I think she was having an off day though.. she is human after all)

T: I cannot gauge how you're actually feeling about this when you smile and laugh as you speak about it.
Me: Oh sorry (But you know this is one of my f*cking defense mechanisms right?)

OMG! This is so funny!!! I love it! The first thing in a long time to really make me laugh.

Theres so many things I want to say to my T that are just plain sarcastic, but I can't remember them now. These are what I've got;
When I withdraw, she asks, where are you Leanne?

And sometimes I really want to say; sat in a chair in your office.

At other times, when she sounds like she cares, although I genuinly believe she does, but only when I feel bitter, I want to tell her that she only cares because I pay her to.

"Its a normal reaction to an abnormal situation" he says a lot, if I use the word crazy towards myself. Well sometimes I feel effing crazy! Some of my thoughts and reactions to triggers are a little battty! And u reassuring me its "a normal reaction to an abnormal situation" doesn't change that I feel effing nuts sometimes.

When he mentions grounding techniques, breathing in and out, picturing a peaceful place. It makes me mad. I wish I could really explain, Its not like I can be having a flashback of bad shit and really be in reality enough to imagine being on a peaceful beach or meadow.

Oh and also, when he completely stops talking and the room goes silent cause he is waiting for me to spill something. Say something or the silence makes me want to jump up and flail my arms around like a crazy person! Oops...i mean a person having a normal reaction to an abnormal situation.....lol....

Besides things I want to say.... i also really want to rearrange his office just a bit and sit off to the side behind the chair in the corner because the chair isnt perfectly cornered enough.

Oh and when I spill something really deep and painful and he doesn't say anything, i know he is just giving me space i guess...but i want to simply scream "SPEAK!"

"Sure, I self medicate!"

"Yes, I do know what you mean. I just utterly reject it. It's not that I don't think you're right. You are. It's just that I don't care, and you can't make me care."

So there!

:PPPPPPP

"Yes, I do know what you mean. I just utterly reject it. It's not that I don't think you're right. You are. It's just that I don't care, and you can't make me care.

Amen to that!
