I wouldn't really call it teasing, more that I joke with them (I just about always initiate, but they respond) and pdoc does this.. what would you call it? Gentle therapeutic ridiculing? If I have faulty logic he'll say something like 'you might as well say' and then a funny example of something similar (like the classic example if you did something because of peer pressure, and your parents say 'So if everyone were to jump from the roof, would you too?'). However it's never mean-spirited and also never personal - my logic is faulty, not me, and it's not my fault for having faulty logic. (He's good with that last part but I think that's a pdoc requirement, as they see most psychotic people. If I have a weird or psychoticy thought he'll say something like 'But I don't quite understand. How does that work?' *I explain* 'Isn't that impossible because of ..?' Depending on whether the thought is merely weird or psychoticy, it might influence the thought. I like that because he listens, and accepts I have the thought and it bothers me, but doesn't say the thought is true or he also thinks it (which might reinforce it) while he doesn't ignore it and the content either.)
Therapist is a little more serious in that area and a little more jokey if we're just chatting (while sitting down and finishing up for example). |

An example between me and my therapist: our college teams are rivals. So when our teams play each other, we tease each other and do a little trash talk.
So to answer the question in general, yes, T and I tease each other. We both have a similar sense of humor, are both sassy and sarcastic. We get along quite well. I'm glad we can be lighthearted in therapy because it makes it easier for me. (And I do also use humor as a coping mechanism, and T knows that, and she helps me draw the line between joking around, and joking to avoid talking about my feelings.)

The therapist I had before the one I currently have, defiently teased me.
One time I asked her a question and she repeated my question back to me in a high pitched mocking voice. I’m not making this up. She had issues. I wish there was something I could do. The way she treated me still really upsets me. I tried writing a review on Yelp, and she saw it and got mad. I know her email address, but I would probably get arrested for harassment. Even if I didn’t say anything bad. I’m really at a loss on how to get over this. The only thing I’m hoping will happen is that I’ll run into her at a store and I’ll be able to tell her how I feel. I just have a bad habit of not sticking up for myself. |

Those people are not all that self aware - look at what they write and how they approach those who disagree with them. I know it is terrible when they mock you. The woman I hired did - I called her out on it.
