OK, it's time for our summertime exercise-on-the-lighter-side.... Let's set up an online shop of useful accessories for the therapy client

* Emoticon flash cards - when you can't speak feelings just hold one up (this is brilliant, whoever thought of it)

* I will add that HUGE handbag to hide behind

* A calendar accelerator, so time between sessions won't drag on so; there would also be an matching clock brake available, so that darned 50 minutes can become a real hour at last.

Oh yes, and a selection of snazzy notebooks labeled JCD (Journal of Cognitive Distortions) with the hologram cover - tilt one way you see Dad(or Mom) and tilt the other way you see T.

Anyone else? need some tee shirts, at least. Freuid maybe.

I would like a

hologram projector of my T saying "who wouldn't feel that way?". "I think that is completely normal given your history", "This can be overcome". "i'm sorry you've had a bad week, tell me about it".

T-shirts that say:

"Ask me about my wants and needs and I will get back to you with an answer"

" Transfer THIS!"

"My therapist can kick your therapist's ***, but has made a life choice not to."

"Reality is for people who can't tolerate dissociation"

A bumper sticker that says:

"If you can read this, then you need to be more respectful of my boundaries"

[Julial]

This is terrible but my troubled mother once had a t-shirt that said 'I hear voices and they don't like you'. I use to cringe when she were it in public. And I wonder why I'm not right. Sigh...

[Melbadaze]

Sitting, very funny! I can't come up with anything as funny.

[granite1]

maybe a dot of my fav color to put on floor to focus on when staring down at it all session.

a lightbulb to put over head when something finely makes sence for you or T

Oh where can I get these?! I'm IN!!

[BlackCanary]

my favorite "Flair", would make a great T-shirt slogan:

My therapist says I'm too judgmental, but that's because he's an idiot.

[pegasus]

Couldn't resist it, sorry!

how about a Magical Thinking Cap? this is actually for the T, so he/she can read your mind

now il take 2 of these that way ill know what the T is thinking also

[pachyderm]

A transporter to beam you up to Wise Mind. Just press the button...

[(JD)]

I want one!

A calendar accelerator, so time between sessions won't drag on so; there would also be an matching clock brake available, so that darned 50 minutes can become a real hour at last

Actually, this can be done with the mind! Anyone who has viewed a stressful situation and it all went into slow motion can agree...but that isn't controlled. Contemplate some quantum physics and go for it!

And I used to have a bumper sticker (not on the car) that read: Out of my mind, back in 50 minutes!

[El-ahrairah]

ahaha, maybe a robot t so I wont accidentally become romantically attached huh?

Or a Rorschach app for a Ipad, this one's great, you tap on it with your finger to get interpretations and everything xDDD

I think they should have punch cards...pay for 6 sessions and the 7th one is free. Or better yet, they pay for 6 sessions and I pay for the 7th...after all, I'm the one doing the work!

Art made by T

Books read or recommended by T

How about a shirt that says "If found, please return to (name and address of T) "

Voicemail recordings from T (a subscription service you could sign up for):
~Hi, it's your T. I was just calling to see how your day went.
~Hey! This is your T. You are doing a great job, keep it up!
~Hello, it's your T. I can't wait for our next session!
~Hi! Your T here. You can call me anytime you need to talk. I'm here for you.

Field trips you could sign up for:
~A camping weekend - just you and T
~T's night out...cheers!
~A day of shopping with T
~Movie night with T

Other services:
~T would tell "mom/dad/ex/etc." off while you stood by and watched.
~T would tell "mom/dad/ex/etc." you don't have issues, they do.
~The traveling T - sessions at home with T.
~The traveling T - T would go with you to that stressful/dreaded/anxiety producing event. On the way there T would prep you for the event. On the way home you and T would process what just happened.

[sittingatwatersedge]

>>>> ~T would tell "mom/dad/ex/etc." you don't have issues, they do.
LOL!

>>> ~The traveling T - sessions at home with T.
wow, wouldn't that be great. Or at least halfway between here and there!

These are making me laugh, and I need to laugh. I can't think of anything to add now. I'm trying.

The emoticon flash cards was me!

I love this thread! I wish I had something to add, please keep it going. I need the laughs!!!

I need large signs I can hold up when I can't find the words...something like "Stop this line of questioning; it's bugging me" "DO NOT ask me how I feel cause YOU know I feel like crap"

A suitcase of different outfits since my others like to express their individuality . (summer attire of course)

Reflective sunglasses so T can only see his own reflection.

A set of name tags for my others, in case T draws a blank...you know "Hello, My name is:"

A summer colored "pink paper" maybe yellow or orange? (commitment form) to match the season.

T saying "Vacation?? Oh no I need to be here for you!"

TOAC - that was a stitch!! I am thinking of adding a Rogerian/CBT bumper sticker.

Therapy: Don't Take It Lying Down

[sittingatwatersedge]

I wonder if there is something in this for our new fall line....

(from a recent PC post) >>> I just think it's hard to find people who know how to be close or want to be close on the outside. Maybe we need to wear big signs on our backs identifying ourselves, but that would scare a lot of people away, I'm sure.

[phoenix7]

i had a mug for work that said :
out of my mind and loving every minute of it

and i have a tiny blue T shirt on a string hanging from my locker that says :
Medicated for your protection

but im stil hangin out for the "T in a pocket "that I wanted a long time ago - every time you have a problem take him out and ask him or her and then back they go in the pocket lol

[sittingatwatersedge]

I saw a pocket T for sale at Lands End..... maybe not quite what you had in mind...

We here at the Therapy Client Accessory Store are thinking of coming out with a Freudlet, that sounds more like what you want. It's very validating; has a bobble head, so whatever you tell it, it goes, ja, ja, yessss I tink zo......

[phoenix7]

jah i tink zo ......

and i typed in pocket therapist and this came up


for those who cant read it it says chocolate - its cheaper than therapy

and i found these too.... not quite what i had in mind though
