ways to annoy your therapist--very long list... - Whatever - Beating The Beast

Im bringing in a blow up couch....

I'm gonna sit in t's chair....

#102 used to be me every session.

#26 is me so that would be no surprise..

I think I need a cape now ...

I could do bringing a notepad and muttering " Hmm , interesting ". My T's would enjoy that list , they both have a sense of humour.

I like 81) Make a tape of the “Jeopardy” song and play it every time the T asks a question. Phrase your answer in the form of a question and make a wager with it.

And this one: T has a lot of stuff sitting around his office, so this could take all session! 120) Look at all the stuff they have on their desks and around their room and ask what they’re for.

I have come quite close to doing
5) Shout “Eureka!” after your therapist makes an interpretation.

I also want to say, when they’re being slow, “Try to keep up, can’t you?”

5) Shout “Eureka!” after your therapist makes an interpretation.

and oh yeah this one for me too - one time after she interpreted part of a dream I kinda snarkily said "Thank you, Dr. Freud." (She Jungian, so, yeah.)

Bahaahaa that was fun to read. I really liked the idea of flipping the tables on my T and asking her how something makes her feel or taking notes and muttering interesting. Also bringing a list of things I don't want to talk about or accusing my pdoc of making Freudian slips. Hilarious.

One really good way to get on a T's nerves is to speak too softly for them to clearly hear you. I don't do this intentionally, but oftentimes my T has to ask me several times what I've said.

What about asking "Where in your body do you feel it?" when your T says anything about their feelings?

I already say "i don't know" in response to all his questions. I think I'm going to bring a picture of a couch and lie on top of it.

Bring them a framed picture of yourself and ask them, "Where on the wall are you going to hang it?"

Give them a Sigmund Freud bobblehead for a gift.

Bring puppets in your purse. The first time your t asks you a question, say "Hold on a second!" Then grab one of the puppets, hand it to her, and say "OK, now you can go ahead."

Just as you enter their office, say, "Wow! Someone just unloaded a bomb in the bathroom down the hall! Then cock your head to the side and slyly ask, "Was it YOU?"

If they ask, "What do you need from me right now?" reply, "A $100 bill would be great, but I'll take $20 bucks for now."

Tell them, "I believe that you are experiencing countertransference based on my transference that was based on your previous countertransference."

As you leave the office, if you therapist says "See you next week," wink and reply, "Not if I see you first!"

If you session is directly after lunch, tell them "Oh, t, you've got something stuck in your teeth." If they pull out a mirror, look, and then say "I don't see anything. I guess it's gone now," say, "No, I still see it. Maybe you should check in the bathroom mirror." When they return from the bathroom, sit down, and begin talking, interrupt with "You didn't get it! It's STILL there!"

Ask if you can remove your socks. Then, when t asks you a question, grab a random toe and answer with, "This little piggie says....."

Omg, thanks for that... grabbing his piggies?!

Lol, I want to email this thread to my therapist.

These are brilliant!

I find showing up to my scheduled appointment does the trick.

I've considered telling him that I've been analyzing his behavior for some time now and believe he fits the criteria for narcissistic personality disorder. I'm afraid he might terminate with me if I tell him now so I may hold back until my needs are met and then break it to him gently.
