The other week my therapist said something and I almost said back "marry me?" But I didn't, mostly because I'm married and it would have been a crazy comment. When I saw him recently I thought again to ask him to marry me. Now I want to ask him via text, which I know is absurd. Just wondering if anyone else has said crazy absurd things in therapy.

I asked my therapies for a picture of himself in his hippie years, never thinking it would be taken as a real request. At a particular moment when it was quite meaningful, he produced such a picture. It was a special meeting on a Saturday, where he also appeared in torn jeans instead of his usual doctor professional outfits. He told me simply that he was making good on some promises and underplayed it. He looked exactly how I imagined and imagine when I have dream or something. I see him in his youthful self, which is felt in the room and so is part of what I notice.

There is a chemical called oxcytocin that may be what you are talking about. My therapist makes voice recordings of particular ways to achieve relaxation or soothing. He thinks it is okay to use them just to hear his voice as well as for the purpose. Though he has never said anything about his picture, I think he would not see this as what a "total weirdo" would do, but rather a way to promote self-soothing and a reminder that someone is trustworthy.

What a fun topic. I also listen to T's voice over and over, stare at her photos on my phone and computer, and have asked her to marry me many times but she always says no

one time when I was driving to therapy, my bra strap randomly broke. Luckily, my T's office is a few doors down from Victoria's Secret so I bought a new bra. I changed in T's bathroom, but then realized the tag was still on and poking me. I asked T for scissors, thinking she would just hand them to me, but she ended up lifting up my shirt (in the back) and cutting the tag off for me. Another time, I asked her to look at my surgery scars after I had 2 ovarian cysts removed. I was thinking of getting a laser scar removal treatment, but ultimately decided against it.

I wish I could ask T for a picture of her as I can't find any on the web. I'm pretty sure she would agree, but I don't want to appear this needy or vulnerable.
When I miss her I sometimes look on the other T's, who shares her office, website as it has pictures of T office. I think she knows this as one day she said something like that T didn't want her on the website and I blurted out: Yeah, I know. ![]() She didn't react to it, like she expected this kind of answer... |

I told her I believed her over something she promised (and she asked if I would allow myself to be comforted by her promise). Which was a ridiculous thing to do and within months she failed to keep it.

I asked for a sip of his water. 😕
I also asked him to look at a cut I was worried about. I mean he is a nurse so he would know more than me. He obliged.

when i wasnt well i accused him of drugging me. he would never do that and i know that now but i wasnt in reality at that time and truly believed he had drugged me. now when i think about it its ridiculous. also i met T in a residential program and i was convinced that it was a cult for the whole summer of 2012. like i sent him many emails about it and i thought he didtn know he was involved in a cult and i was trying to get him to see it. he brought that up recently and we laughed about it. my delusions are stupid and silly

I told t that the school she teaches at and convinced me to join was a cult... she laughed, half a year later and it still feels like a cult. It's quite scary as everyone is connected and people I have never met know me. We live together too, it's a residential programme and it feels so weird living with trainee therapists.

The one above reminds me that I also suggested that he call me weekly just to say hello and check on me. I didn't think he'd agree to it as he wants me to be more independent. He sorta just smiled at the suggestion.
When I was well I asked him to come visit me at work and he did. ![]()

I asked my t what size shoes did he take. It was a distraction strategy. I try to ask one random question of him every session. Lol. It's become competitive for me now. I've got him to swear too. I love my t.

I like the random questions and especially getting him to swear. Sounds good relationship building.
