At the end of my first ever appointment with my current T, he said “shall we wrap up?” but I didn’t hear him. Instead of standing up to leave like a normal person, I just continued to awkwardly sit, wondering what it was that he had said. The whole thing lasted for about two minutes—he also sat in awkward silence for a while. In the end, he prompted me to leave by saying “see you next week then?” THEN I realised that his previous comment was meant to wrap up the session so I ended up frowning and nodding, trying to give off the impression that I was in deep thought about whether I wanted to continue with him after that first appointment or not. I’m pretty sure my face must have been pretty red. I’m pretty awkward socially, so even though it wasn’t a big deal, the whole thing crucified me.

What are some of your funny/awkward/embarrassing therapy moments?
