Welcome to the couch, old and new! A place to hang out - sometimes you get immediate feedback, sometimes you don't.

---------

Shouting, "Cool Whip" tends to bring others out from between the cushions if you're feeling lonely.

This is a chatty thread. All are welcome. We're kind of psychologically oriented, sometimes. We try to be supportive. At times we discuss what that means.

It’s a place to plop down on the couch when you come home from work or wherever, or wake up in the middle of the night, or check in at lunch, rant a bit or not, and be among friends.

We advise you not to drink or drug and text your therapist ("t") - we speak from experience...

Sometimes the thread moves fast and you might get overlooked; sometimes it moves slowly and all you hear are crickets. Sometimes you get hugged or thanked pages later. So if it's a bigger question, you might want to start a new thread.

Navajo Rabbit = Gah!

Grab a cushion and make yourselves comfy!

Well couch folks I'm going to lay in bed and try to get some real sleep for my 10 hour work day tomorrow. I'll probably fall in and out of sleep so I'll still be lurking here in between sleep.
Have a good day/afternoon/night..wherever you are.

I also am super glad about the existence of that pillow!

I have never participated in any of the couches and am not totally sure what to do but this seemed relevant:
Couch 136: Transference Welcome!

Also I had a hard session with T today so if anyone's got any extra hugs and/or comforting things to say I would be receptive to such things.

So what qualifies as an emergency to my mother, worthy of a concerned, immediate email to her daughter?

Her MLB app on her iPad won't update to the 2017 season.

*facepalm*

This is a text message from my mother yesterday (I'm exactly 8 lbs overweight but my mom and dad are both very overweight and so I agreed to do Weight Watchers with them in the hope that it would help motivate them to do healthy things for themselves):

"Hi chihirochild space chihirochild I called weight watchers today and your account is still active they said you had two accounts and one was discontinued I didn't know if you had a prior account or not so to get specific and tell weight watchers why what you've been doing differently they claim he must've been doing something differently so please call weight watchers member member services 800-651-6000 also I don't want you to be charged for time you didn't have or Meachers I guess"

lol WHAT? She must have been using Siri or something hahahaaa

Nice couch!

Would love to go to bed, but I need to make stuffed shells for a teacher's lunch at my kid's school tomorrow.

And it's time to start getting serious about laundry, we leave for vacation in 9 days. And have to pack for 7 days. This is the part of vacation I hate, the prep!!

Welcome to the couch, chihiro! I love that chair!

I saw your thread and didn't feel I had much to offer... But I thought it was such a well-written account that was moving to read. It sounds to me like you and your T are both doing good work, and I hope you come to more of a satisfying conclusion next session.

Anyway... Hugs!

I love that my iPhone transcribes my moms voicemails because they read like this. It seriously amuses me so much I will sometimes let her calls go to voicemail just so I can read them.

Woohoo I go to therapy and what happens? A brand new couch! Yay!

Anyways... had a really really good session today. (I know I sound like a broken record lately with the "really really good session" but I can't help it! they have been!) T had had incense burning when I got there and it smelled really good. And a couple candles lit too. She turned off the light because she thought I needed help relaxing... she never realizes how much I relax just seeing her open the door... I do like the natural light that comes in the windows much better than the lamp, I must admit. I would not have asked to turn it off, but I'm glad she did. We talked about several things one of which was a dream I had last week about my mother. She got her drum out for me and I drummed for myself and did a quick dream re-entry there at the end and got a pretty deep piece of information from that. It was a little intimidating drumming in front of her, but I need to get used to drumming in front of people so might as well practice with her! It didn't take me long to get out of my head and into the journey once I started drumming.

Also I meant to tell her that I've come to realize just how much I value this relationship - even as much as I call it convoluted and confusing and crazy-making, I value it so much. I've found such healing within and because of it. I'm in one of those moods at the moment where I never want to stop going. I know it won't last - a week from now I'm sure I'll be talking about quitting again - but right now, it's the best damn thing since sliced bread.

Am I a walking contradiction or what?!
