Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

Not open for further replies.
In therapy last week the doctor had me feel out this depression inventory as she does every 4 weeks to see if I have progressed. I guess my numbers were worse so these are the questions she asked me and my response:

T: Are you suicidal
M:Isn't everyone?
T:Do you have a plan?
M: Why would I tell you my plan? If I really wanted to hurt myself why would I tell you?
T: Most people have a plan
M: I have thought of various ways, take a walk a fall into a gorge to make it look like an accident, I have lots and lots of pills from prior surgery and I have thought of other ways.
T: Why are you keeping all the pills?
M:I don't know
T:Would you be willing to get rid of them?
M:No

I would like to say to see her reaction:
T:Have you got a plan?
M:Yes, I have many but it is just deciding on which one would be less messy
T:Why are you keeping all the pills?
M: I figure one day if I can't afford therapy maybe I can sell them (which of course would not happen)
 
Here's the one with the therapist who calls expressing how I feel, venting. It took a long time of listening but eventually I just laid it on the line.

T: What is going on with you, today?
LL: I don't really know what to say as everything so far as been labelled as venting so I am at a loss.
T: Oh.
 
This one therapist gives me way too much material, I do therapy with a family member with him. This is not a therapist that I selected.
T: This is your spring, you are like a flower emerging!
Me: (roll eyes in real life)
T: You came a broken child a few weeks ago, now look you are a capable strong woman!
Me: You certainly like your metaphors! (roll eyes in real life)

T: That's what guys do, they blow up and say stupid things. That's what us guys do.
Me: That's awesome anger management advice. Let me ask, do you have a therapist? (In real life this was met with a raised eye brow)

Me: I'm very careful with my boundaries.
T: So you don't want to date, you can join women's groups. I mean I am not asking for myself.
Me: How has it come to being that I sit and listen to this weekly? Just wondering. (I am sure this was met real life with knee jerk eye roll)

T: So you are having this problem with your sister... I'm trying to understand.
Me: I do not have a sister.
T: It sounded like you did!
Me: No, I do not.


T: You are so strong!
Me: I am myself.
T: You do not drink, do drugs or chase MEN!
Me: Ah, I never really did.
T: Oh you should hear what I hear in this office, I sit here all day! You should HEAR the things I hear!
Me: Silent, trying not to physically shake my head....
 
Oh here's a funny one..

T: What do you enjoy
Me: Yoga, I just do it really don't talk about how it works...
T: Ah you are a kinesthetic learner! I bet you are a dancer, too!
Me: No.

Funniest response came from my friend when I told her about the conversation.
F: What? Exotic dancer?!

The hits just keep coming with this therapist every week.
 
WTH kind of T do you have?!? I am so sorry for you. I would be strangling someone...

Oh 91 Girl, you have no idea!! It's thoroughly annoying. Women's liberation never happened in this man's mind.

LhasaLover, please don't give up this T; much too entertaining :roflmao:

Here's another one for you, I wonder if this guy is practicing aversion therapy! He's so out of it! My father seems to be controlling his anger and upset with his help, otherwise this therapist would be history in my book.

T: (To my father) Look at her in the eye and tell her, I think she needs a MAN to affirm her
LL: Ewweeeeeee, creepy. Mush my face up looking repulsed. Let's just skip this.

Oh here's another, lol

T: How are you feeling now?
LL: My right side is killing me after moving things for three days in a row
T: Ahhh, you are lacking on your MASCULINE side! (Nodding head)
LL: (Look of surprise!) Ah, I think I Aleve will help.
