The Couch 116: Puns Tsar Terrible...

How the couch makes me feel sometimes

Well, you can always borrow a spare pair of undergotchies if Unaluna cares to lend them to you.

Borrowing under-g's ... I think I'd rather go with none. lol

eta: nothing against una's ug's. ...

Odd I know but I wish less people were choosing mother/father substitute, that means my T has a larger chance of being the way she is with me with others. Don't ask. Just needed to say it. Even though I hope she can help others, still the desire to be ... special I guess.

Blah.

Ellahmae I think therapists limit the number of clients they take on at any one time that need that type of help. It might work if a T has two or three clients like that, but not twenty. If your t is part time like mine is, you might be the only one!

Yes. She is highly trained in trauma but she focuses mainly on marriage/family counseling. I know she has a couple of trauma clients, so maybe I am the only one she is 'parenting'. Unless we see the same t ha

Ugh.. I have to go be a boss and remind some employees of regulations.. It's hard to do when I feel like a big joke or fraud myself.

I don't want to discuss the contents or anything, but did a thread just recently disappear?

Appears so.

Yep, looks like it, assuming it's the one I'm thinking of...

So I had a haircut today - I've been needing one for about a month - and H's comment was "Did you have a haircut? I hope it wasn't too expensive." (The second part of the comment was tongue-in-cheek, but it was literally the only thing he said.)

I don't do this for his sake, I do it for my own, and I always get plenty of positive comments from friends, so it doesn't actually matter, but I am still unreasonably ticked off by this. And yes, it was a bit expensive, but I have a very good hairdresser who makes it worth it. It's my own money anyway, and I never buy clothes or shoes or beauty products (which would be a huge waste of money foe me.)

Maybe I got so upset because T asked me what part of me I find ugly, and I had to tell him that the only part of me that isn't ugly is, in fact, my hair...

(Please, if you like me at all, please don't make any kind of gender stereoptype or "that's husbands for you" statement. Feel free to think it to yourselves if you are so inclined, but please don't post it, even to be supportive - it is the exact opposite of supportive, for me.)

Sorry. Wall of text and perhaps TMI. Sorry.

Ellahmae, thank you so much for remembering that weekends are hard. This one won't be so bad, I think. I have most of tomorrow to myself, and on Sunday my choir has a concert which I'm kind of looking forward to.

Blah. I'm an idiot. Sorry for blithering all over the couch.

I'm sorry your H is like that I bet it looks great. I won't make the stereo type comments because my H is the opposite of that. I bet you have beautiful hair and more 'not-ugly' parts than you think .

Not TMI. Good to talk.

I'm glad this weekend will go quickly and be enjoyable for you.

Not an idiot. Not blithering. I'm the only one the blithers on the couch

This makes me think of a Tintin adventure, Flight 714 - the one where Rastapopoulos and Laszlo Carreidas are injected with truth serum and start bickering about who is the most evil. "I beg your pardon, sir, but I happen to be the very spirit of evil!" (well, I've only read it in Swedish, but that's the gist of the remark.) "I'm the blitheringest one, so there!"

How come when my T says something that hurts my feelings its seared in my brain for all eternity...but when she says something beautiful I really want to remember as soon as I leave her office it gets over and I'm left with something that resembles the adults talking in a peanuts cartoon????

Bay, if you figure it out please let me know.

Is it maybe because you're more used to being hurt than loved? Your brain doesn't know what to do to retain a positive statement?

I take notes or else I forget too.

Not blithering or TMI.

I have a long and contentious relationship with my hair. It's thick and curly and decades of swimming have probably done some harm. It took years to find a hairdresser who had some idea how to deal with it. She is expensive (and I need to go every 6-8 weeks) but it is totally worth it.

I think feeling good about your hair is pretty important to most women. Probably sociocultural in origin, but there it is.

I go every 3-4 weeks to an amazing higher priced hair dresser but she's amazing, and it's time I actually enjoy.

Have a good weekend, couchinistas.

No, not at all. I have no business asking people to post or not post things. It is good that I am told about these things, I'm sure.

One more task to do at work and then I'm out of work to do. I have 2.5 hours left for the day. I want to do it so it's done and then I can nap but I don't have energy to do it so I'll just sit here and stare at it hopefully it will just do it itself ha.

My h doesn't want me to spend money on therapy, yet he keeps bugging me to get my hair dyed. I like my hair, I've earned these grays or as my t calls them silver, besides the last time I got it dyed professionally was right before the worst and longest lasting tricht- whatever that word is where you pick your skin it took many months probably a year for my scalp to finally heal. Yet he keeps pestering me to color again. No.
