I know, right? And stretching out some of them with a smile is usually complementary or good-natured. Like, "Oh ****, (f) you're right." Or, "you little ****, that was hilarious." My fave is, "that salad smells like ***." My bro who died used to say that when there was stinky cheese on a salad. He was the one who taught me that swear words weren't bad at all; that substitutes were ridiculous.

Last week, T ordered me to get Starbucks as soon as I returned to campus...that was my treatment. We were talking about Starbucks as I was getting ready to leave, and she said "Yea, I wish I had some nice declining balance of Starbucks funds that somebody else is paying for."

That was really funny, because T has never really "picked" on me before like that. However, I'd be lying if I said I didn't love it! I started messing with her like that, so I'm guessing she's just returning the favor now.

I had a "scare" the other day and I called T in a frenzy because I didn't know who else to call. After she walked me through what I needed to do, we were about to hang up and she said "er, uh, next time.. lock it up" HAAAA

After discussing my situation with that guy, this is what T said:

"The protective part of me wants to beat this guy up." It was kinda cute to hear her say that.

Have you ever read any of them? Today in therapy, at the doorknob, I pulled a fat book out of my purse and showed it to him and told him how relevant this was to one of his (and my) interests. He seemed interested, and sent himself an email with the book title and author. I would love it if he would read it and we could discuss it. Book club with your T!

I made a bracelet for my T before I went on vacation and forgot to give it to her, it was sitting in my purse for at least 3 weeks.

So I handed it to her at the end of last session and told her that it had been in my purse for 3 weeks, she said something like, every time I look at this I am going to think of how it was held with such loving care!
I thought that was cute!

Same here. We recommend books and authors quite a bit.

I usually write at least one email between appts, usually two or three (I send her homework by email and she allows me to ramble whenever I want to). Last week I didn't write her any emails, so when I went to the appt on Monday she said "I'm glad you came today, I was worried as I didn't receive anything from you and was ready to go look for you if you didn't show up today, I have no idea where to look for you, but anyway". She also mentioned that it would be nice if I wrote that I'm ok or whatever because no emails makes her very worried. I guess this means she really cares...

My T used a Harry Potter reference in our last session She was talking about making fun of fear, like the boggarts and the "Riddikulus" spell.

i told pdoc i thought his favourite book of all time was crap. we got into a big argument about, lol. the next time i saw him he told me he'd even gone home and reread it again to see what i was talking about, and was surprised to realise it wasn't as good as he'd remembered. we talk books all the time now.

so i think you should definitely tell T what you think, even if it ain't good. imagine all the fun you could have!

pdoc and i lined up to buy the last book on the day of its release (separately, though!! too freaky if we'd met up to do it together, lol). harry potter features regularly as part of our conversations .

t gave us a birthday present yesterday...a photo album since she said we are always dragging in loose photos to show her and a really nice frame to hang on the wall and of course a bag of candy for one of the kid peeps.

of course he wanted to open the bag right there & eat it up...she had to tell him if he ate it all once there would be "no more candy & peanut butter sandwiches!" when we have to stay at chez bin she visits us with a pb&j sammy for him because he called her one night saying he was hungry so she comes to visit each time with a pb&j and an apple.

she was also really excited when we called her and told her about demon beast (the stumpy dog) chance to be in a movie...he is auditioning for a movie role becuase the damn fool dog can "arrooo" on cue and hold a conversation with me. a talent aganecy called the rescue and they called us so we had to send in pix and a video (posted on you tube no less...how odd is that)...she told her kids no names or anything so now i'm sure the silly video probably will have like a million hits !

we spnt lots of time in session babbling on about silly dog walking the red carpet stuff

Since I moved I started with a new T and I've been having a hard time adapting to the difference in approach. I talked to old T today for the first time in 2 weeks (for those of you that don't remember.. that's a really long time for me!) and I was telling her about the new therapy and explaining what's working and what's not. She was giving me some advice on how to relay to new T that not only do I need to get my therapy needs met, but I'm also interested in the process and she said, "I mean, you've got a degree in this *****!" I died. It was so funny.

I miss her so much

This time it wasn't my T but the PNurse... she was looking for a form she thought she had, found it with a flourish, and said "Yep, i knew i was thinking about you this week" =) gave me that warm fuzzy feeling.

Hangingon, your post reminded me that two Ts ago, I was having a panic attack in a public meeting, clutched my purse, and fled. well, when i clutched my purse, i'd hit the Dial Now button for T! So her voice was coming from my purse "hello? hello?" which i though i had heard, but was really confused. when i got out of the public eye, i was still in panic mode and really couldn't understand. At session the next time, T was saying "I was in THERE! *points to purse* I was in your purse!!!"

To wrap the session up, my T will always ask, "So, can we look at the schedule for next week?" Last week, this was our exchange"

T: Can we look at our schedule for next week?
Me: What if one day I say 'no?'
T: Well...I guess I'd say that we're going to look at it anyway.

My P'doc/T has his birthday near mine. One year for my birthday he got all of his stuffies (and he has heaps) and put them around in a circle so we could have a party with M&Ms for food - lols.

P'doc has loaned me a large Polar Bear (Sebastian) that I hug during our sessions and I take Sebastian home with me.
To indicate the end of each session my P'doc holds his arms out so he can give Sebastian a really big hug. Sometimes he asks the bear questions and makes the bears head move and we both laugh. Its good to end most sessions with laughter.
