Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

[Nighthawk]

M: Maybe we should meet twice a week
T: Why not 3 or 4 times maybe we should meet 5 times a week
M: That would be great that way I can get even more attached:eek:

T: I have narcolepsy, forgive me if I seem tired. I am paying attention to you.
M: I have PTSD, forgive me if I don't give a crap but I will pretend I do.

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.

Yep. I said something similar this week :) Lucky I missed the overtime though!

T: "Your my best success story".
Me: Thinking; Yes, I managed not to kill myself after several attempts. And still in therapy after 20 years!!!!

Don't get me wrong, I love my T and he always been there for me.:giggle:

Well I was joking about overtime. My T always schedules me before someone who has a track record of not showing up. Either that or I'm the last appointment of the day. I average 3 hours when I see her, I think the longest was 5 hours. She is awesome, there was a day over the summer that the office was too hot. So, we met at a park and walked around a bike path talking.

Deimos - absolutely hysterically funny! You brightened my day - thank you! :roflmao:

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?"

Law Photos, I agree with this one totally. So funny! My T's constant positive attitude is amazing but it wears me out! :D

Yes I can relate to that. I just remembered we occasionally went to a Cafe and had coffee and talked, went for walks in the park and climbed on different things. And don't forget he gave me away at my wedding (I think now he wished he hadn't). :(

That's wonderful. I once had a therapist who would schedule me last in the day, and then just give me as much time as I needed every time... sometimes 4 hours at a go, three times a week - I miss her lots.

Mine routinely gives me as long as he can, which varies greatly, but doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated by me. Sometimes he drives me home afterwards, again, time permitting, and we continue to talk, about therapy stuff and then just about random life stuff, in the car. I love our car trips for some reason, makes me feel like a normal human being spending time with another normal human being, and somehow those experiences have come to mean a lot to me.

I'm not sure I could hold up for 5 hours though. Wow, this is a real marathon on both your parts.

Yeah 5 hours of therapy doesn't leave you feeling "normal". My mom always told me I was special but I don't think this is what she meant.

 

[Lieke]

When she askes me during emdr therapy, on a schale, 1 to 7, where my emotions are. several times within the session.
I dont have a frigging clue!!!! I don't do emotions!!!!

Just remembered this one...

T: Ok let's give you a depression test. *pulls out magazine*
Me: Really? A magazine test is an accurate test of my depression? W/e I'll play along
*After the test*
T: You scored on the high end of moderately depressed
Me: You got all of that from a magazine and not from our sessions?
T: You aren't that depressed
Me: WTF are you on lady? I just told you 30 min ago I had thoughts of suicide over the weekend
