Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

T: "We just need to work on your social skills a bit. People generally do not like being around people who are unhappy all the time."

Me: "Lucky me I get to live with myself 24/7." (said that one)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: "Nice Mercedes; is that the 2010 or 2011 model?" (tempting but didn't say it)
 
I'm the most cheeky :sneaky:, sly and sarcastic person I know and he sees right through me. So pleased I found him, he never judges me or takes offense and has helped me through a very rough path. Thanks T!.

Me as well.

T supports the local football team. They had just missed out on promotion. I commisserated with him and he ranted for a few minutes about a non goal which was allowed in a match early in the season and that that had made the difference. Like you Cath I told him it was good to let the feelings out, to take a deep breath and asked if the T wanted a T.

He and I had a similar sense of humour although he knew at times I used it as a delaying tactic.
 
My last T was really great, and only did the "stupid" (I say that loosely) question once or twice, beyond that she got my sarcastic comments and laughed with me over them.

"So what brings you here?"
"I have two eating disorders and I was sexually assaulted."
"OK. So where do you want to start?"
"Not with those."

A few months later...
"Can you tell me what happened when you were assaulted?"
"No. I told you we weren't talking about that."
"I thought that's why you're here."
"I am. But we're not talking about it."
 
I didn't read through all the responses...but doubt anyone has said this. Whenever I am asked how I am feeling or how am I doing..I always feel like saying "Feel like ordering take out? - this may take a while"

Or I have often been told that I should go to school to become a therapist because I'm very insightful or something or another. I feel like replying with "How does that make YOU feel?" lol
