Couch 160: The Squeaky Clean Couch!

CounselorBarb™ assumes we're all into boobs and curves. But what if the thing that really gets me going is judgmental bloggers in frumpy outfits?

Hee hee I worked an email earlier where the member wrote in to tell us to "quit fiddlefarting around". This is my word of the day.

I’m paying Info. I get to judge her, whether it’s her therapeutic techniques, her obvious nuttiness, her office decor, or her clothing. The clothing and decor don’t bother me enough to leave (though the other things may eventually), but it is distracting to me to have her breasts constantly in my face (less constantly now that it’s winter, though sometimes she still manages). Even though I’m not attracted to her.

And I think that clothing choices do indicate personality, and that is fine, but they might also indicate issues. Info dressing forty years younger than her age, the odd choice of skin tones and hair colors, suggest to me that she is not comfortable in her own skin. And that there might be issues that indirectly affect my therapy.

This isn’t actually even because she’s a woman, that just affects what’s on display. I’d find tight pants on a male therapist distracting, and visible chest hair (a la MC) or no undershirt too.

I am of the opinion that therapists should offer as little distraction as possible, either in their offices or their clothing. It’s a place to focus. Just as there shouldn’t too much self-disclosure.

Yeah, I also see someone like Info's choice of clothing, etc., to be a sign that she's super comfortable with herself. I think older women are awesome, especially if they are bright. I would not want to see one who is still striving to fit in.

Although she has never worn a onesie. Too much coverage.

Are cold shoulder shirts comfortable? I would find them unnerving. Am i dressed? Am i not dressed? Am i wearing sleeves? Am i not wearing sleeves? I think im an HSP (highly sensitive person). The thought of bare shoulders against my winter coat - shudder!

Might I recommend a onesie with the shoulders cut out?

I have several shirts/thin sweaters that are cold shoulder; I love them. I'm an HSP, but I guess I don't think about the whole cold-shoulder thing too much.
I have too much other **** to be anxious about.

i have never even heard of a cold shoulder shirt. what on earth?.

I like cold shoulder tops, too, and have a few. I just try to wear a bra that won't show with them.

Ex-T (70 years old) usually dressed very tastefully and fashionably, always in heels (often open-toed). Nordstrom came up in one session, and she was like, "I love Nordstrom." Me: "I love Nordstrom Rack..." (the store where they sell discounted items).

Yeah my bra straps when i wear one are always slipping down. At least it would make it easier to reach them instead of going thru my neck! Who sez i aint classy?

Yup, that part is very important!

I have to ask - does anybody else loooove Tony Romo? He gives such excellent insights into the game, little tidbits about what the players are thinking. I hate his voice, but i love what he says. Hes on now, 2nd chair on CBS, buf at Jax.

At least sometimes the items in Nord. Rack are discounted items that were once sold at Nordstrom. So in reality, you may like some of the same things (or not).
