Couch 157: Fair Value

That's cool, jDNA...

My next session is in an hour. Telling R about Sunday night into Monday morning is going to be hard going. Please can I request pocket riders?

I'm in ur pocket

In your pocket too, Lost

Me too if I'm not too late

Not too late, capt. Just under 30 minutes to go.

Hopping in!

maybe you're still there? hopping in belatedly, Lost!!

Thanks jDNA, QM, capt, LT and Art!

My word finding skills weren't up to much in the session, but I think it was useful to be able to talk through the experience of allowing the emotions to be there and what that brought up for me.

All in all, I think it was a good one.

If you figure out the answer, please share. Yesterday my therapist said something about me finding someone to love me one day and all I could think was "yeah right". It feels hopeless.

All the things I do to deal with this feeling are negative.

Lost- Glad your session was good.

NP- Please stay safe.

I loathe college administrators.

It doesn’t affect me, but changing deadlines on lecturers and instructors applying for contract renewal a few days before the new, earlier deadline = not cool.

Mine are negative in terms of, the alternatives are worse, such as being with someone but still being alone and not being able to get away and having to do chores for them. Boy i sound lazy! I AM my mothers daughter! the human animal is the only one who laughs - or needs to. And pit bulls smile, so what does that mean?

Velcro, np, youve got us. Which means, ive got you guys, and yes im depending on that, even if you guys arent.

Are you ok? You sound manic.

oh i got a 36. high five?

Im a little edgy. Things are not routine. So im being pushed a little out of my comfort zone. I want my comfort zone! thanks for asking

I’ve got a new therapist pet peeve. Crunching mints while the client talks, then a) saying you can’t hear them, and b) asking if they said something about your candy. Projection?



Things did not improve after that, but it wasn’t Info’s fault, but the ghost of 3. Anyone here qualified to do exorcisms?

No but i can spin my head around like that

Cheesits i hope the mints arent sending her messages thru her teeth fillings. Ask her if shed like to borrow your tinfoil hat?

It’s a tinfoil fedora...because crazy doesn’t have to be tacky.

Geez, that's awful, even for Info.

T in 3 hours. Pocket riders welcome. I'm a little nervous of crap from the summer creeping back in because I'll be saying goodbye-for-awhile-i-don't-know-how-long when I leave...

Honestly I'm not sure how I'm going to feel after...

Thanks in advance for riders.

Im in! I have chocolate & coffee, so I’m ready for the ride.

I'll hop in!

Wow, that's really annoying. My H got ordained online (to be a backup officiant for friend's wedding) and went to Catholic school--so he's maybe semi-qualified?

I'm still trying to process MC's epic failure of an analogy/anecdote this morning. I was talking about how I'd want H to initiate physical contact, including propositioning for sex, even if I might reject him. MC opted to compare this to asking his son to go get subs with him and having his son say no, which was OK. Which...yeah, there's so much weirdness going on there that I don't even know where to start.

MC (to his credit???) did realize it and was like, "To clarify, I literally meant asking my son to go get subs with me. I wasn't propositioning him for something else. So...I'm just going to go drive down to the licensing board and turn in my psychology license right now."

Then, later, "I'm concerned that H is now going to use, 'Want a sub?' as a way of propositioning you for something else."

Me to H after we walked out: "I bet you really want a sub for lunch now, eh?"

I'll hop in too.
