Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

[BloomInWinter]

T. - "?....."

Me - "Huh? I'm sorry....I didn't hear you. I'm trying to figure out a safe answer to the question I think you're going to ask me next so you can't hurt my feelings without me being ready!"

I was kinda pissed a week or so ago, I had the urge to tell him, "Being cute won't get you everywhere!" lol.... :O_o: really though.

Also.... I have started actually really saying this one. When he asks like, what could u do at this point, that point, i know he is looking for me to say something like go for a walk, deep breathing...
Sometimes when I am being a smart ass I have started saying something like "Generic answer" lol.i've been kind of a douche bag lately.

If you want I can refer you to a good therapist.
Does your wife believe all the bs you spew?

T: well normaly I would tell you to pretend
M: Yeah well you know better than that

Does your wife believe all the bs you spew?

:roflmao::laugh::D ROFLMAO!! I love it, Innordinate!

Or, "Are you so naive as to actually believe all the BS you spew?"!

Me: "Do you have ANY idea how unbelievably annoying your constant positive attitude is?!"

Me: "Do you lie awake at night just thinking up the silver lining to every crappy thing in the world or does it just come naturally?"

T: (very gently, sweetly and patiently) "Can you see how your pervasive negativity can interfere with therapy?"

Me: (laughing sarcastically) "Can you see how your therapy is interfering with my hard-earned negativity?!"

I have no verbal filter with my T. At one point talking about my spider web of issues I said, "I think my disorder is above your pay grade."
I then suffered through a 4hr session. I must have made her think she needed to do some overtime to balance out the pay grade issue.

Good job.....here's your cookie.
Thank you captain obvious! (actually I do use this one)

There are times I have had difficulty keeping a straight face.
Once.. and I still think this is weird. This isn't even a typical therapist question..but she said.. It's such a nice day outside. Can't you just enjoy the day?
It was well meaning, but....

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.

This one always gets to me as well... If only I could make my mind go to that peaceful place! And breathing? How can I concentrate on my breathing in the middle of a flashback?! Surviving seems to be the only thing on my mind at that point...

As for this thread - thanks! It's comforting to find out I'm not the only one suffering from T "bullcrap." Although I'm not sure I won't laugh out loud the next time I hear one of the infamous quotes coming from her mouth during a session. :laugh:
