I see what you did there..

I don't think writing is 'less clever'.. but you know, sometimes when there are problems in therapy - especially when about the therapist or something they did/said (in my experience) - the T can become a little defensive. Things can get a little tense... To me this seemed like a great way of raising the issue - gently, and with humour - and maybe raising a smile at the same time, whereas plain writing telling the same story could come over 'emotional' or 'attacking' if the T were so inclined to take it that way.

Or.. maybe it just appeals to the inner child in me. (She is mischievous tonight! )
