See, you have a normal therapist. I said something similar to Piaf yesterday, only it was more like I said I didn’t understand why people like my colleagues thought I was good at my job, stuff like that.
In response, she unleashed something called the
Johari Window on me (cue looking up stuff on phone).
(Not to be outdone, I later in the session lectured her about the Dunning-Krueger effect.)
