Here is a link to the referenced cartoon - the original link now points to a different page: Recipe ? Therapy Tales #419 | Therapy Tales

It's a nicely worded joke, I like it. Of course it doesn't represent all facets of reality in therapy, but I'm sure it wasn't intended to.

I sometimes contact T between sessions, but not often, and he has asked me to reach out if I need to, so I don't view that as a transgression. Other than that, I meet the requirements on the list... but T has said that my mental paon and self-loathing are reasons enough. I don't need to be obviously malfunctioning in society to need therapy. But again, I know that's not the point of the comic strip.
