Couch 129: The Semiprime Couch

It's a gift. Just like my awesome ability to find the craziest therapist in any zip code.

Hope it was a happy birthday, LT!

I hate calling potential new therapists. Curse you, DBC.

And while we're on the subject, mini-poll time: what would you think, if a therapist trying to convince you had symptoms of x mental disorder says after some increasingly heated discussion, "and your other providers thought so too"? Asked why she would say that (especially given her low opinion of said providers), says she's being honest. It then turns out later that she is wrong about one of them when she consults her notes (as she tells me by voicemail). Is this as offensive as I think it is?

I start with a brand new T tomorrow. Her website shows a picture of her whole office with a big desk that has a computer on it. I hope she does not sit behind said desk when conducting therapy. That might work for some, but it wouldn't work for me. I plan to tell her that tomorrow if she sits there that if she conducts therapy from behind a desk we have nothing further to discuss. So the intake appointment could potentially be 5 minutes or the whole therapy hour. We shall see.

Yikes. They got me once for that too. I'm more careful ever since.

Maybe she is the computer, and it's a profile pic. Did she have an autotune Siri-ish type voice when you talked to her to set up the appointment?

It could be where therapy is headed under the new world order.

That's the idea.

I am not sure I could tell the difference.

Thanks! And that's what my T texted me when I said something about my 40th birthday today (in the midst of stuff about MC). She even used a couple emoticons, including a flower, which threw me, because I've never seen her use those.

If you don't trust your T, there is no point in continuing.

Many jurisdictions will amend speeding tickets to non-moving violations in exchange for an increased fine. In our jurisdiction, it is double the fine. Talk to the prosecutor.

Happy 40th LT!! I think my 40's were my best decade and hope they are good to you too! Enjoy!

Is the difference that it means no points on your license? Trying to remember how that works.
