Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

[BloomInWinter]

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?"

OMG RAIN!!! I'm so wrecked at my desk right now I can't stop laughing!!!!

I love the concept of this thread too!
And I sincerely thank everyone who posted here, it absolutely lightened up my day!!

not so funny, but to share my very own:

T: (after I rant(?)for 15 minutes)"So what brings you here today?"

Excuse me, I walked in here to consult my issues and get help, I just poured out my ptsd problems and my analysis/hypothesis of myself for past 15 minutes, how else am I supposed to explain??

He said that three times within an hour.

"Really? It's laudable? Grabbing a parachute when your plane is going down is something to feel good about?"

BK is having her afternoon iced brewed coffee to get through next 8 hrs.

Seriously, I should really watch my caffeine intake. I was so jittery last evening from too much caffeine.

When having an outburst and my T just stares at me I have asked him What do you want from me?
What I really want to say is WTF are you looking at.
T. How was your weel?
Well if you were expecting something good out of my mouth why did you ask.

"Do you want the fake happy BS answer I give most people, or the truth?"

"I don't WANT to share what I'm feeling. I already feel like a failure plenty without having to admit that I'm no better!"

"Why did you take this job, honestly? Surely you have better aspirations than listening to f'in losers like me all day?!"

"Good catch. You were going to tell me something with the word 'Should' in it, weren't you?"

"No, you can't help me. ...and I feel sorry for you that you persist in thinking you can. It's nice that you keep being willing to try...but please, set your expectations as low as possible. No, below those."

"Yes, I do know what was behind that trigger. No, I do NOT want to talk about it."

"Please, there's no need for both of us to ride the crazy train to bloody medic trauma land. So I'm refusing you your ticket. Stop trying to buy one." (I so want to say this whenever he pushes on the paramedic years...)

I do want to say...I think these, but I have no desire to hurt the guy's feelings. Hopefully he doesn't have any one way or the other regarding me as a patient, because I feel like I'm otherwise doomed to be a constant disappointment.

When he mentions grounding techniques, breathing in and out, picturing a peaceful place. It makes me mad.

I am SO with you on this one. That shit makes me want to say "you have GOT to be f*cking kidding me." Poised with her pencil and paper, my T asked me to list my "coping strategies" last week, I'm sure hoping I would say "breathing, visualizations, meditation, etc." Instead I said "dissociation, compartmentalization, and avoidance." She said, "ok" and wrote them down!
