So I'm done with T, and I was being all reminiscent. This is a completely light hearted thread, so post all your funny/memorable moments with your T.

I'll start.

Me: What? How is meditating helpful? How is it possible to think about NOTHING? I don't get it...
T: Geeeezus dr, what? You ALWAYS think? At any given moment? What do you do when you go to sleep?
Me: ... Well, I think about things, until I drift off...
T: *smiles* Oh, about what?
Me: Conversations, situations... Tonight, I'm pretty sure there'll be an exaggerated version of this conversation in my head.
T:... And you say you have insomnia?
Me: ... Crap.

[noodlzzz]

So I have psychotic symptoms, including the belief that other people can hear my thoughts.

Therapist *Says something right on the money about what I was currently thinking*: And that's not me reading your thoughts. I wish I could. It would make my job a lot easier

My T didn't know how the office recliner worked (someone else's office we used) and I figured it out and she got all excited (they'd put the handle for the foot rest in the pocket on the side and she hadn't looked inside there). So, a bit later she talks bout having tried it to take a quick nap between clients and found it so slippery she almost slid off! She then quipped, "They need to make recliners with seat belts!"

One time I was talking about an ex-bf who was kind a fwb/complicated mess for me, but I said something about this other girl who would flirt with him even though she knew the history we had. I tried not to be mean about it, but T picked up on my feelings and called her a slut, so I giggled. This was really early on in us working together and it made her seem more relatable to me.

Also, T was writing something for me once (a sort of diagram/chart thing), but I wasn't sure what she was doing and asked if she was drawing something. She laughed and said, "No, I know better than that!" Another time I mentioned how clumsy and uncoordinated I am, and she replied that the two of us would make really bad dance partners then.

I know she's much funnier than these examples illustrate, but it's hard to think of anything specific. It's mostly little things here and there.

This happens about once a month:

T: ok wiki, I am going to get mushy
Wiki: no, no, please I hate that, don't...ugh
T: I like you as a person.
Wiki: Aaaaaaasaahhh, f you, shut the f up
T: (laughing) I'm entitled to my feelings.
wiki: I don't pay you to feel. Crap. Ugh. yuck.

*hears people arguing outside office*

T: dr, please excuse me a sec.
me: ... It's ok you know.
T: no it's not!
me: *blink*
*T walks outside... everything becomes quiet*
*T comes back in*
T: So was it really ok?
Me: Well, I thought you just intimidated me. Those people would rue the day they decided to make noise outside your office.
T: ... *big innocent smile*

[sittingatwatersedge]

I came in beating myself up for being resistant, and was told I hadn't seen resistance... that she had a court-ordered client, a teenage boy, whose resistance was total.

T: He told me, 'the only reason I agreed to see you is because I know you are a pushover" -

SAWE:

I love it when t's talk normal like one of us, I love it when they are *****y too because I can relate to them more

*Extremely loud client of another T talking just outside of my T's office*

Me: Wow.
T: Somebody oughta give him a megaphone, bless his heart.
Me: OMG

Sometimes I come into session feeling very emotional, and he'll often make the comment "You appear to be agitated" because I'm never able to jump right into what's on my mind.

So .... one day I came in just about ready to explode with anger and frustration. As we walked in to his office, he was behind me, and before he could say anything I said "Just don't say 'You appear to be agitated.'" Without a second of hesitation, he said "You appear to be agitated."

Didn't know whether to laugh or punch him ......

Recently we have be talking about me being guarded and not wanting to cry in front of people let alone T

so just yesterday......

T:lets talk about that mommy issue.
M: its my biggest issue...the core of everything...silence ...(tearing up)
T: (Smiling at me)
M:I'm starting to cry.
T: (giggles and smiles)
M:...(wiping tears to prevent from falling and looking straight at him)...You Suck!
T: (smiling like a Cheshire cat)

When T wasn't feeling well and was even more talkative than normal.

Me: Did you OD on caffeine and sugar before session?
T: OMG I have diarrhea of the mouth! I guess you can say I have it coming out of both ends! Hahahahaha!
Me:

I am notorious for being very cheap.

I had just done my homework assignment--buying a vibrator.

At this time, I was also suicidal.

T: "How much did it cost?"
Me: "Twenty-seven bucks."
T: "Wow! We have to keep you alive so you can get your money's worth!"

I don't think I laughed at the time, but years later it cracks me up.

They're a little more expensive now.

My T and I were discussing that my husband did not move out when I asked him to. We had kind of run through my options, including filing legal paperwork. Some time later, I said something about sex with my husband.
My T was like, "you're still having sex with him?"
Me: yes
T: if you keep having sex with him he's never moving out! Why are you still having sex with him?
Me: it's fun. I like it.
T: Jesus Christ, do you not know how to masturbate?! Do you not own a vibrator?!
Me.

I love this line. it's like when my young girly pdoc admitted they didn't ask a question without having an answer in mind. Spy secrets from the other side.

[dolphingirl]

In T's temporary office... A few minutes in, I look at the sofa where I'm sitting on both sides then scoot forward and look on the couch behind me, then regain my posture and look a little confused. T did a great job of reading my body language because she said "I know there's no pillows, I'll fix that in my new office"

T: makes a comment about how uncomfortable the chair is.
Me: mentions how I don't like the looks of the chair or couch.
T: Responds/asks if I just have a problem with leather
Me: No, I just have a problems with sofas that I slide around on and in which my feet don't touch the floor if I sit back on them like a normal person which leads me to sitting on the edge which is kind of uncomfortable unless there's pillows.
T: Oh...(continues on with scheduling we were discussing)

Oh. My. God.

I'm getting a visual now...of my own therapist.

Yes.

I still like when I had to study "humiliation" for the week between sessions and was immediately humiliated and learned a huge amount which I excitedly told her the next session. However, at the end of that session she then assigned, "disappointed" for me to contemplate for the week and I immediately wailed without thinking, "Does this mean I have to spend a week being disappointed?" and we both looked at one another, startled, and broke out laughing. Turned out, that's what it meant!
