EVERY TIME I leave T, I always look at the cars parked on the street and the ones in the lot and ALWAYS wonder which one is T's, if any of them are hers. I KNOW she drives there but I never actually remember any of the cars so I can't make a trend and narrow it down. I don't even think I want to go to that extent, I just get curious.

So yesterday I was thinking, well I wonder what type of car she would drive. If T were a car, what kind of car would she be?

I think she would be a silver or dark grey sub compact. I think she would be one of those people who always has "their life" in their car. It might be a hatchback. I don't think it would be a new or old car, somewhere in the middle. OH shoot. I just remembered, her car is old, she told me! Now that we know I'm crazy, lets pretend I didn't know that.

So what type of car do you think your T is?

[Screenager]

My T drives a Honda Civic. It's the only car that's always parked there when I get to the office, and the license plate used to be from her hometown.

... Am I a stalker? No. Maybe just a little bit.

[Perna]

I always knew my T's car (would see her getting out of "it" (changed over the years)) and it became as important an object as T; still remember the time she said she was going to be away and I thought I was fine with it but when I left therapy and saw her car, got the urge to slash her tires

My T never matched her cars; she was a small woman and usually had large, SUV-type cars. We even got in a discussion once about how good her car was (I had just researched/was buying a new car and had looked at her model as it was recommended as a comparison to what I was thinking of getting).

[tooski]

I think I know which car is his, but I'm not positive. Anyway, it's what I would guess. A grey-blue late model Mercedes-Benz sedan. Conservative, classy. And in spite of the rain, it's always perfectly clean.

T drives an SUV which completely fits who he is.

[unaluna]

Saaaaab, actually! One time I saw him after he got picked up by his wife (now ex) in this humungous silver SUV. He was sitting all scrunched up to the passenger door, like a pouty little boy. I was like, oh, this does not bode well for this marriage. He saw me and smiled and waved.

[Chopin99]

I always saw a car in the lot I thought was hers. Turns out I was right. When she walked out with me after one session, she stopped at that exact car.

A light green Toyota Camry. Conservative, predictable, reliable. Matches her pretty well. I looked in it once, it's disorganized like she is too.

My T has a nice car, and I get the impression she enjoys driving - I don't think you have a car like that if you don't like driving... I don't know that it's the car I would have 'matched' her up with... I'd maybe have thought some kind of Merc or BM sedan in a classy dark grey or something...

I hope people don't match me up with my car.. it's old, it has a big ding in the side, is about 3 shades of green, and someone robbed my wheel trims when I was parked up at the supermarket... well flash You know what though? The radio and heater work great, and it's quite nifty for a 1.3L, so it'll do! But yeah, I dream of the day I can drive a car like my T has. OMG. In another life I could totally be a petrolhead.

[missdell]

whatever make, i sure would like to ride him

too easy?

[sconnie892]

I suspected which car in the parking lot was t's, but it was confirmed when she drove past while I was crossing the street for work one day. I guess since I associate t with that car, a tan colored SUV, it's difficult to think of her driving anything else.

I don't know. He says up front that he's married with kids and dogs--I have learned since he has back issues. Other than that, IDK. He's seems to be an excellent psychologist and has helped me progress in two areas already.

So what's up with me that I'm not more interested in his personal life? Am I missing out? Am I lacking a connection? What's wrong with me? I've never had these concerns with a therapist.

I hear you. Of course, there are those that are going to jump on that lack of connection thing....
I assume the woman can drive. I never really thought about it. She tells me more things about herself than I see the point of. "Okay good, now back to me..."

THAT I think is a good point. I took it as a good sign, a mark of improvement, of increasing humanity on my part, when I no longer resented T for taking up "my" time with his "blabbing" I say resentment; I mean, I no longer wanted to brain him.

Hmm. No idea what my T drives. But I picture her driving something economical and reliable, some earth-tone color like tan or something, with a sunroof. And I picture something hanging from the rearview mirror. Like crystals or something.

I'm not confrontational at all, but do you guys carry a supply of wet blankets around with you? I mean, really. I read your comments sometimes and shake my head. Just realize that sometimes, people like lighthearted threads since we all deal with such heavy topics in our lives and in our therapy, and it really bugs me that you always have to have such negative responses. Geez!

I am just playing/ being lighthearted.
I will check for a tank the next time I go to an appointment.

[likelife]

I've known my T's cars (2 of them), because I've seen her leaving on the days when I'm her last client and I'm stuck in my own car, crying.

She's got a hybrid now, which fits with what little I know about her. I appreciated seeing a political bumper sticker on her last car that told me that our views aligned

[WantingtoHeal]

I've never seen my T drive her car or get in her car, but I just have this sense that this car is hers. I can just feel it. It's a dark blue Lexus. Really pretty. Looks like her. Classy.

[peridot28]

My therapist drives an SUV. I rode in it once and it's very clean and organized, just as I would have imagined. It's a big car and she's petite. Sometimes I see her drive up to her office and she looks really tall, then she gets out of her car and she shrinks about 2 sizes. LOL! Her radio was tuned to the oldies station. It was neat to see a snippet of her real life.

If she were a car I'd pick a Mini Cooper; tiny, quick (she walks fast), cute, and stylish with a little bit of sass. Yep, that's her.

[stopdog]

I aasume she keeps her broomstick in the closet.

[Chopin99]

My H said my T should be a convertible. After all, she can remove her top (wears a wig).

we dont know for sure what she drives but we suspect a truck of some sort

[growlycat]

Over the years, my T has had surprisingly sporty/lux cars, always in black. I feel like this is a side of him I don't often get to see. A few times he would give me a lift to the train station/subway around the corner. I was always taken aback how assertive a driver he is.

He always seemed the well-worn volvo type to me, maybe he is really a black Lotus inside!!

My t doesnt even have a car. I pick her up. But shed be a clown car ( silly) or a red corvette ( cool)

[Elli-Beth]

My T has a big older van, which makes sense because be has oodles of kids, but I picture him as something sort of eco-friendly yet utilitarian, like a hybrid pick-up.
