Some things your therapist does every week:

It´s easy to imagine a therapist as just someone sitting in a therapy room but to get perspective and perhaps normalize things one can think of things your therapist most likely does every week:

• Pick up laundry and put it in a washing machine
• Put on a pair of pyjamas or nightgown
• Brush teeth
• Shop for snacks/candy/icecream/cakes or something other "unhealthy"
• Hoover
• Take the trash out
• Shower or have a bath
• Watching news or a movie
• Clean the toilet
• Put on underwear
• Do the dishes
• Cook food and bring to work
• Being irritated at partner/colleagues/children

This is how the therapist most likely will feel sometime during a week:

• Tired
• Irritated
• Happy
• Sad
• Hungry
• Cold
• Excited

The therapist will most likely have had common ailments several times in his/her life like:

• Stomach ache
• Flu
• Feeling sick and throwing up
• Vertigo
• (Women) Menstrual pains
• Common cold

The therapist will take some of the same streets as you when he/she walks or drives to work and you will enter the same door, walk the same stairs if there are stairs.

Farts, poops, and burps too!

I've gotten to witness burps in session (only from the male T's I've seen...the females seem able to hold it in!) And yawns, too.

OK now I can't help but trying to imagine what my therapist wears to bed at night

Great, thanks, now I'm wondering about that, too!

Adding another to the list:
Puts on deodorant

My male T always apologizes but he burps and yawns at every session.

I see my T at his house and once through the upper window I could see his dressing gown hanging on the back of the door... so obviously then I had to picture him in his dressing gown.

T1 used to burp a lot. Probably 'cos of all that lucozade

It would really bother me if my T burped during session. That just seems rude.

T has crappy taste in tv shows. But the way he explained it made sense. He likes pure escapism. He likes crappy vampire movies too although he hasn’t admitted to liking twilight.
Anne rice novels, a yes. So I can picture him on a couch watching this stuff

At least current T tends to say "excuse me" and is fairly quiet about it.

MC generally doesn't excuse himself or anything. And he could make a big show of yawning--at least try to conceal it! Don't make exaggerated noises while doing it, FFS! He's also blown his nose loudly in the middle of my talking. And he tends not to cover his mouth when the coughs. So...really, kind of like my 6-year-old...

Mine yawns often, which bothers me. Makes me feel like what I'm saying is boring her.

Mine yawns every session. He apologies and says he yawns only with me. Lol.

I guess he does a lot of "normal" things from the first post, but it so difficult to imagine.

(and I'm still jealous of people who can see him doing "normal" things)
(I don't mean pooping or burping, but washing dishes, wearing home clothes, eating, getting drunk and so on)

This reminds me of one time when I ran into MC right before a session with ex-T. I had wanted to ask him about scheduling an extra session, and he said we could talk briefly after my session with ex-T. So session with ex-T ended, and his office door was open, but he wasn't in there. Ex-T offered to check with receptionist--she came back and said, laughing, "He's in the men's room! I wouldn't knock on that door." She wouldn't let me wait in her office, so I told the receptionist to let him know when comes out that I was waiting. After sitting for a few minutes in the waiting room, I realized he was probably pooping. And felt sort of awkward when he came out to get me a few minutes after that. All I could think when he shook my hand when I left was "I hope you washed your hands!" Helped knock down the transference a bit, I think...

As a woman of a certain age, I would suggest that burping is not always voluntary.

Well, there's the throw back your head openmouthed and burp out a chorus (that is pretty controllable and rude) and then there's the try to swallow it and press your fist to your mouth simultaneously and let out a dainty urp, the second of course is what I mean.

Yeah, T1 was never rude or disgusting about it. It wasn't loud or anything and he always apologised! Just... Seriously needs to drink less lucozade.

Are you all seeing therapists or baboons?!

I don't judge the almost silent burps, my problem is when people choose to open their mouths to allow the burp out. While burping might not be voluntary, one always has the option of not opening one's mouth and stifling the sound as much as possible. I admit that I have a bit of a complex about burping. I had this office mate who used to burp constantly with her mouth open. It was distracting and gross. She acknowledged that she had acid reflux, and that she was supposed to be taking a larger dose of medication than she was. I finally had enough when she intentionally drank a soda to cause her to burp. I told her if she was going to do that, the polite thing to do would be to have her burp-a-thon in private, in the bathroom. She acted like she had no control over her constant burping, which was false. A few other people, including our boss, knew about the issue and my boss finally got her to understand that she was being really rude and inconsiderate. After that, the burping somehow stopped. I think she went to the doctor and adjusted her acid reflux medication.

So I guess my issue is with people who choose not to minimize their burping by, most importantly, keeping their mouths closed, and secondly, addressing whatever is causing them to burp in the first place (like treating acid reflux, not eating/drinking food in public that would make it worse, which my office mate was also guilty of). Maybe that's asking too much, but I don't think it's any more socially acceptable to go around burping than it is to go around farting.

It made me laugh out loud, thank you

My T does this thing with his tongue mid sentence. At first I found it funny but now it’s endearing. He also sometimes lifts his sleeve up to scratch his arm. I love these little snippets of his humanity.

My T doesn't yawn, but she does do a lot of sighing. Sometimes I think she's trying to get my attention because I've been silent too long and we're just sitting there.

My T doesn't yawn or burp in sessions either (I mean not usually... probably he's done it once or something), but he moves his lips like a fish, just faster, when thinking. Which is cute if you don't look at him often and talk to him an hour a week, but it would bother the hell out of me when talking to a friend.

My T changes poopy diapers (not her own).

My T gets Monday blues. She drinks coffee. Calls IT for help with her work computer. (I work in IT, so I found her mentioning calling IT amusing) Haha.
