Hahahah Miss Charlotte-- all of these stories are familiar to me, but I can hear them again and again! I am pulling an all-nighter with my studying, but I can take a break because this thread definitely deserves my attention.

Ok, here it goes (hard to pick just 3, but I figured I'd follow your format).

#3. The time I fell down the stairs at the previous office. There was a winding staircase. I had just walked out of T's office. He shut the door. All of a sudden I slipped and went crashing down quite a few of the steps. I have no idea if T saw or not. What I do know, however, is that there is no way that he didn't hear the enormous crash that occurred just one second after I left his office. Even though I was in pain, I booked the hell outta there before he could open the door and say, "Are you okay??"

#2. Very early in my therapy, I was talking to T about something I didn't really want to talk about at all. In fact, I just wanted to ignore the subject altogether and take a nap. T asked me, "What should we do?" My brilliant answer: "We should go to bed." With that, I became extremely flustered and attempted to correct my blunder, only making it worse. I began to say, "Well... I meant we should take a nap... but not together... I mean, we should go to sleep... but separately... you know, take naps, but separate naps; not together or anything like that." It was horrifying.

And my #1 funniest moment in therapy: I was angry at T. He was really pissing me off. We were going back and forth. I could tell he was provoking me in order to get me to engage. The anger was really rising. All of a sudden, out of absolutely nowhere, I put my hands up in the air and said, "Ok, so what??? Ya wanna go??" All of a sudden, there was just complete silence. We stared at each other, and then both burst out laughing. T said, "I cannot believe you just challenged me to a physical fight." This was the session that earned me the nickname, "Toughie." T called me that for awhile.
