T's funny habits?

You know it's funny. I usually meet with him on Monday, but I had an "emergency" Wednesday session with him last week, and I mentioned it.

He is a graduate student/counseling intern, so he has not been seeing people all that long.

He gave me a huge grin (the one he is always 2 seconds away from giving) and said, "I knew someone would notice that. I'm just a creature of habit, I guess."

Then he really surprised me and countered with,

"And YOU'RE not wearing the wooden shoes you usually wear!" I was like... Couldn't believe he noticed THAT! But for the 3 months up to that, I always wore these blue wooden clogs with a giant daisy on them that I had bought in Amsterdam about 10 years ago.

But, I finally decided to stop wearing them... the wood is cracked and there is a hole in one... they are definitely falling apart.

Then we had a short conversation of the pros (cheaper) and cons (less fun) of ordering a new pair vs going to amsterdam to pick one up! I love my T.

Ok, my T totally does that, too! I figure it's because all the information is fresh in his head, what with him still being a student and all. He's just BURSTING to get it out.

Also, he's a case manager in his 9-5, and while what he does is very valuable, I'd like to think, that, as his first session of the day at 5pm, it's nice to have someone to talk to who's capable of holding an intelligent conversation. The people he works with at his day job are severely retarded. So that might have something to do with it, too.

my T pulls at her T shirt when we talking about somethign and she becomes more animated she tugs at it, I wondered if its how she gets excited lol

Ha, clothing idiosyncrasies make me laugh.

I think my T loves more architectural, structural clothing and accessories, with lots of industrial details like snaps and zippers and buckles. A lot of her boots are leather, with multiple straps of material and zippers and locks and what. She sometimes wears a dress with all sorts of clasps and angles. Once the purse I was wearing looked similar, with a lot of pockets on the outside. "Great purse."

I see it as a physical expression of her very systematic mind (despite which, she still manages to be one of the most absentminded people on planet earth. There are multiple stacks of paper sitting on her floor and desk).

Wish my T would "educate me," ha ha.

Mine actually rocks herself. It's like a full body head nod. I only noticed it once she had asked me about what I do when I'm feeling overwhelmed - her reply was she rocks herself. I don't think she does it all the time but last session she forewarned me that she hadn't slept well.

My T just sits there, with one leg crossed, arms on her lap and stares at me...

stares..

nope. nothing. No funny habits unfortunately.

I'm sorry, I know how uncomfortable that can be, but your post made me laugh out loud. I think it is the way you wrote it. Sometimes we just have to laugh at the truth I think.

My therapist makes a fuss over his knee socks.

Whenever I see him pull those socks up, wowsa, he's latched onto something and off we go.

I've pointed it out to him before, and he utterly denies it, but you should see it from my end. Regular as clock work.

And your post made me laugh out loud. What an utterly bizarre quirk! Cute though.


I'm often tempted to point out quirks to my my T, but I feel like she's scared of the fact I already know a lot about her just through observation and intuition. I mentioned something once. She laughed nervously and went "Ooookay, you are getting to know tooooo much about me..." I think if I made a list of stuff I know about her, through intuition alone, she would be shocked and perhaps horrified.

Lol its alright mate. It was meant to be a bit comical. It actually doesnt bother me, although, Its a bit amazing.
I almost feel like she could be one of the queen's guards at Buckingham palace.

He matches his socks to his shirt. Weird when he wears purple...lol...

My T is pretty normal too. Not many quirks. He does love pastel colored dress shirts. And he does bounce around in his chair a lot due to back problems (shifts position a lot, sits on one leg) And he does tend to S T A R E C L O S E L Y at me constantly (but I stare right back at him!) Other than that, no particular quirks!

This whole post oozes with sexual innuendo.
The final "educate" speaks of bondage and discipline.
Or is that just me?

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that XD

OH GOD. CUE RED FACE.
You may be right? I have to think about whether some erotic transference made its way from my unconscious into this post (and, as is probably clear from many of my past posts, erotic transference is one of my major issues). When I said "educate" I was referring to how others have said their therapists will go on academic tangents about different therapeutic methods and sort of give them small lessons.

Oooh no. I have even said to her before, "Educate me." What if that came across sexually infused as well?!

Well now I'm gonna be thinking about it either way. Dramatic and conflicted sigh. I might die when I see her this week.

I am red FOR you, cometcatcher!

LMAO!

But, as far as having said "Educate me" to her, unless you were like, leaning forward, pushing your boobs together, and looking at her through your lashes while saying it in a sultry voice...

I think you're ok.

LMAO, NO, I can't say I said it quite like that. I keep the possibility in my inventory, however.

Oh, what a life.
