Our T's aren't stand-up comedians, but I'm sure they've had something funny to say occasionally.

What's the funniest thing your T has ever said?

Mine was talking about her insecurity around parenting when she first became a parent and how she was almost shocked that the hospitals just let her take a baby home without double-checking that she was able to take care of it. I made the comment that it could almost be considered odd that they don't require parenting classes, and she responded by saying she had been teaching parenting classes at the time!

my T says funny things all the time but they are like weird funny. we have weird senses of humor.

he moved into a new office and was asking me what color he should paint it. i said paint it black and leave the lights off so ppl would just be sitting in the dark. he said that would boost his business by making people depressed and then he could help them get better.

My psychiatrist listened to my diatribe and at the end he summed it up for me... "What I'm hearing is - suicide for the masses, humans are a pox on the earth, life is not worth the effort, and I want to go off my antidepressant."
I just had to laugh.

Mine keeps doing really terrible caveman impressions...

Nop T has not said anything funny. I do from time to time though.

We were once talking about Johari's window and lived experience. We were discussing 'what we know we know' 'what we don't know we know' 'what we know we don't know' and 'what we don't know we don't know'.
The conversation descended into confused chaos and was very funny.

We once had a very animated conversation regarding the choice locations cats prefer to barf, sounds and pantomimes included. It was outrageously silly and hilarious at the time!

Mine was discussing the fact that I had some Ritalin missing this month. He said either I screwed up (which he doubted because I'm so careful with my meds)) I have a big mouse problem (which I do) or the husband did it. He was trying to get me to acknowledge that the later is probably true since my husband has been known to abuse amphetamines. It's sad but I did have to laugh.

My T was sarcastic and I really like that about her. One time I was talking about not wanting to drive while exhausted because I didn't want t get into a wreck and destroy my car. She sarcastically responded with, "I'm so glad you're worried about your car." I thought that was funny.

We were joking about how it was a very good idea of him to have shaved off his Movember moustache early.

He also one day went "how do you say the med you're on?" and then proceeded to say lamotrigine wrong... again and again (my counsellor is a social worker).

I then switched to "lamictal". He tried and tried and couldn't get it.

He then said: "I'm just going to call it lamb. What dosage of lamb are you taking again?". I think I made the same sort of face I make at my students when they say something bizarre.

'Bout a month ago I was scheduled to have my gallbladder removed. My T and I were discussing the aftermath and I was adamant that I would be okay without involving my family. I would drive myself, take care of myself, etc. She was just as adamant that I couldn't. Getting frustrated, as I can be rather stubborn, she looks at me and says "Have you ever had surg...", then remembers she is talking to a post-op FTM transsexual. I thought it was funny as all get out, so I said "No, never." And laughed.

Turns out I had to stay overnight at the hospital, but I did drive home alone.

Thanks for starting this thread, as I've been unable to share this as all of the other people who know about one surgery don't know about the other.

My T and I laugh quite a bit. It's one of the things I love about her. She "gets" my sense of humor, usually.

My t works from her home.
I once asked her if her neighbours thought she was a drug dealer. Se said she didn't know what they think, but she has a lot of male clients, so....
Was v funny!

Some of these stories have really made me laugh, thanks. Never had any funnies from my T.

T was visiting me and we were out at the store. So she was riding in my car. She told me "turn here" and i wasnt paying attention and turned into oncoming traffic- T forgot we drive on the other side of the road! We both screamed and then started laughing so hard. It wasnt a funny situation but the way we both started laughing so hard at the same time was funny. And really we werent in danger because no cars were close by. But we thought it was hilarious. I told her i am never listening to her again

My therapist and I have fun sometimes. I think the best one was this year when I was having some physical balance issues and I fell twice in two weeks for no good reason. My therapist wanted to suggest a little experiment to work on that issue. I thought he might have wanted ti ask me to do complicated movements (I think he had done something like that with me the week before ... I don't remember what exactly). So I warned him that my knee was really sore from the fall and I couldn't do anything complex, so without missing a beat my therapist replied: "That's okay; you can ask me for things even without kneeling before me!" That was just so very unexpected, I laughed like crazy. Then he went on to talk about my relationship with my parents, but I still started laughing out of the blue remembering the moment. then my therapist said something about us writing a book of our funny moments in therapy But I think these are the kinds of things when you need to be there to really see how it's funny.
