T 101

Ok, intermission from the hard stuff. What are some fun, strange, possibly annoying classes you think T had on his/her schedule in T school.
*this is not meant at all to discredit any of their education or hard work*

- Silence: how to sit comfortably for an hour
- Shoes: what kind and where to find them, since you know your clients will stare at them

Anyone have one?

Interior Decorating with a minor in rugs! After all, unless you practive couch therapy, that rug will be the topic of a lot of conversation for the future T.

Also along with WePow's interior decorating, a minor in lighting effects. My T must have got an A in that...nice calming lamp light.

How to answer email in less than 10 words?

Also, "How to answer e-mail in nothing but vague, short, reassuring phrases that don't refer to the topic".

I was laughing SO hard with this!!!!!!!!!!!

How not to cry when someone is sitting there crying for an hour 4 feet from you.

ENG 304: How to substitute the word "care" for the word "love".

Bladder control 102: How to NEVER have to go to the bathroom between clients

I once arrived at my T's office building just as he was coming out of the men's room. That was a tiny bit awkward.

They seriously need a class on what to do when your T runs out of Kleenex. I went in today, and right there, on the table where a box of Kleenex once sat, was an almost-gone roll of toilet paper. I saw it mid sentence as I was sitting down and busted out laughing.

T was kinda embarrassed about it and said it was a roll of "tissue"; not a roll of toilet paper. LOL

laughter is the best medicine!

^^^ Hahah! I know, right!? And to think I didn't want to go to therapy today...

At least you didn't catch him coming out of the ladies room.

LOL! I like this one...

OMGASH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

That is so true!!!!

I know, LOLOL, I keep laughing about it too. And now that I think about it, it's such a man thing to do, isn't it? I would have brought some Kleenex from home (he had to have seen the box getting low, no?), or maybe run out during my lunch break. But toilet paper? No way boy! LOL

The worst part is that the roll of "tissue" had only a few sheets left on it.

beautiful.mess, well--bathroom issues are on my mind lately! Actually, my T HAS run to the bathroom sometimes before we start because she doesn't have breaks between clients. That's okay with me because I leave the session at least once, but that's because I get nervous and 90 minutes is a very long time.

I am noticing the same thing w/me too today! Ha!

esp w/ the TP there, staring you right in the face!

I could totally see my goofy T doing this and trying to justify it as "tissue". With a perfectly straight face.

T's...making the inglorious glorious five days a week.

Thanks for the laugh!

Where to get her botox injections so her face stays neutral.....
