Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

Really I'm just kidding when I say that. And she knows it. She has told me in the past that she had an eating disorder so today I asked her about it and how she overcame it. She was very wiling to tell me since it helps me with my issue. She was put into my life for a reason and I am such a better, healthier person because of her and her undying belief in me.
It doesn't work if you can't answer those simple questions. He/she is trying to garner responses...
Really I am just kidding when
 
Therapist: I just can't see (topic was gender) in you.
Me: Like you could see someone's self concept ever.

Therapist: You must allow me to touch you if you want to stay in.
Me: I didn't know you were that quick willing to end in an ER.

Therapist: Why do you not want to talk about your childhood?
Me: Because I'm here to drag my ass out of flashbacks so I can sort my current shite, and right now, you're in my way.

Therapist: Where are you going.
Me: Out. Getting fresh air. Didn't want to drop you off this building, it has a nice view, so I'm out, enjoying the sun.

Therapist: Why don't you want to go into that therapeutic commune, it'd do you good.
Me: I hear the word 'commune' and my skin crawled.

Therapist: Who of you is so jittery, I just asked a question.
Me: All of us. We asked you to not trigger us about that very topic. So I'm removing us, for your safety, it'll never be 'just a question'. If I ask people to not question me about something, I bloody mean it. I don't care how simple and non personal it is TO YOU.
 
Me: yes there was a time I was so angry at my parents for what happened that I thought it best to stay away rather than harm them.

T: if you still do feel that way, do you have a plan and a weapon?

Me: no, they aren't worth it.

Almost said but anything can be a weapon... The thick candlestick holder in this office, that ceramic ball on the table, this chair... In fact you have a good stash of potentials here...

But if I had, i wonder if the room would be stripped bare on my next visit.

Threat and weapon assessment, two of the gifts of hypervigilance that keep on giving.
 
I'm not sure if you're D.I.D.

... Because being diagnosed with it and knowing my neurology & myself extremely well is nothing.

Your romantic life was such a failure, I'm not sure how can you function.

... At least I had one, instead of needing to berate people in my care as still single.

And pretty well, thank you.

You're hopeless case.

... Actually, hope is my dope on the bad days, on the good ones I have the awareness I'm not anyone's 'case'.

You don't have any morals.

... Says someone paid for getting answers you're not getting?
 
Shrink: You really need CBT.

Me (said): I've had it, out of country.

Shrink: You need my colleagues' therapy.

Me: ... no thanks, really not interested in circle jerking racist douchebags not hearing what I say when it doesn't conform to your expectations.
 
T: I see you someday being an activist for this at some time in the future. Telling your story with your use of metaphor in a book etc.

Me: im still finding out who I am again. i honestly dont see that far ahead. Yes I would like to help others, but Im not in any shape to do so right now. Speaking to a group scares the sh*t out of me. even on a good day that much attention even from a small group leads to anxiety and parinoid feelings that they will become a threat and all come over to get me. And if you see that far ahead past this point, what are the winning lottery numbers?
