My T normally does deal well with her mistakes. She is naturally a very funny person with a self-depreciating humor that is endearing.

That therapist is human being with obvious faults and lapses. If she's not laughing, then I wouldn't be either.

That was a hilarious dream.
This was one of the very few times she didn't handle a mistake well. I don't normally take pleasure in the embarrassment of others. She usually plays off mistakes very well. Plus she was more embarrassed about snorting than the door incident...and she was already laughing!!

Therapy is usually a very serious thing and I am grateful I have a T that will intentially lighten the mood at times. I use the term goofball endearingly! We are both goofballs trying to make it in this icky world.
