Couch 142 - Pope Hyginus' Final Resting Place (~Something in Latin~)

I was Googling around on how to break up with your therapist and found the New Yorker's take on it. Film is less than 5 minutes. And the therapist is wily.

You have inspired me.....

Yowza

Both of mine have those cushions

And the wooden statue

You know how there are like huge warehouses where restaurants can buy their dishes and stuff?

Same for therapists' offices.

Is that not true?

(I mean, that's why I would go. )

I can accept though, that there might be other reasons.

Why do people go to Irish bars? To have sex with the Irish? Or to be Irish without people calling you a bog-hopping potato-muncher?

Any bar ,straight or LGBT, is a hookup place, that's there primary function isn't it?

I need a holiday from my dog. He is really annoying this past few weeks.

1. Counselling cannot change your orientation. It can only reveal what you already are

2. Point out that you are not going for sexuality counselling anyway. You're going for mental illness. There are very few good therapists in your area and you have to go where the good Ts are, wherever that may be.

Idk, I go to bars more often than not to get work done- admin tasks, writing, score study, etc. Something about the atmosphere and the ambient noise being louder than my head noise keeps me focused.

But I've gone as a more traditional bar patron too, never to hook up. Was truly not aware that was the primary purpose. Most people there just seem to want to watch whatever game is on tv.

It's the main reason I used to go. It appeared that there were other like minded people there.

Lol. Charles Grodin IS wily!! And sooooo old, sheesh! But yeah, that is pretty much me and my t, to a t, every session.

No wonder, you have that lanky come hither annabel langbein look.

My t went to bars to study when he was in grad school. Interesting place to get stuff done I think. Being as I am married I do not go to bars to hook up. I go to have fun with my friends. Though, I suppose singles might have different reasons.

Are you drunk?

I haven't been to a bar in years, but hook-ups were always at the forefront of my mind. I'd blame drunkenness for all of my bad relationships, except I met and married number 1 before I started drinking. I think going out to be around like-minded people is your right, (QM) I'm sorry he gives you grief about it.

There was a study-bar at my college (it opened my senior year and was a huuuuge deal because the town was semi-dry and only had just one small bar up to that point)

It was a very nice cafe which served wine and cocktails after 4:30pm in addition to its cafe drinks and pastries. There was single and group and bar-style seating, and big Central Perk-esque sofas. Tons of power strips too... I still miss it, nothing like that around here.

Call me old fashioned, but I go to bars to drink. Sometimes to get drunk, sometimes for the socialization aspect. Then again, I started dating my husband when I was 20, so I missed out entirely on the hookup scene.

A study bar sounds amazing though.

OK, you all have inspired me to change my profile photo. My name is actually from New Order (not Elvis), so may as well go with an album cover.

As for bars, I think it depends on how you define "bar." I mean, we were just at a brewpub/restaurant with our daughter and certainly weren't looking for a hookup there!

I will never change mine

It will be Charles Eames and his doggie til the end of time

Also Atat!! Spotted in your therapist video: the Eames Hang-It-All!

"Langbein" means "long leg". (The English equivalent is "Longshanks".)

No. Why do you ask?

T wanted me to come to game night but i opted out

now i feel a little regret

oh well

im eating a quesadilla

prob go to bed early im bored

sorry if this is rude, its not meant to be . just a legit curiosity of mine...

do you google everything??

I couldnt tell my T the thing so I am going to write it out and put it in an envelope and give it to him next session.

I am going to write "Derren" on the front hehehehe
