Couch 171: Scams R Us

This is 100% not your fault. It's bound to happen to most Ts working for universities or in smaller areas. I've read of some family members even sharing the same T but it's up to her to hold that line not you.

Your T is wrong. I know at the end of the day that all of this is nothing, but words on a screen, but we do care about you.

(((QM)) The t-client dyad should be inviolate. You shouldnt have to worry about other clients as you did your siblings IRL. And if your friend kept a secret from t for a year that led to unfortunate consequences, that was her choice, not your doing. She probably would have chosen that path had you existed or not. Maybe things would have gone worse if she had not seen your t.

Hugs, Lemon. So was that termination?

(((Lemon))) That sounds like an intense session. It seems we're dealing with some of the same issues. But you're more able to talk frankly about them. I have a whole thing typed up for mine today but I'm not sure I'm brave enough to give it to him.

Maybe just a long break. I was planning on seeing him until he left for his holiday on the 1st of august.

Did I really ask for too much?

I think you are already brave NP, but would suggest going at your pace and with what your comfortable with.

Omg i dreamt about sooooo many monkeys! And CAAAAAAKE!!!!!!!

Did the monkeys spring out of the cake and do a striptease?

Or maybe I did the strip tease with the monkeys. xDD

What would they strip?

Unless one presumes that the monkeys in Una’s dreams always come dressed in full royal regalia?

All monkeys are just people dressed in monkey suits.

Well-known fact.

Ah, I do so have the urge to scratch various parts of myself contentedly in public ever so often (and I see that so does Blondie).

LC - I admit I can't really follow your description of the appointment or understand most of what is going on. But I would never see one who tried to get me to pay for appointments I cancelled.

I dreamt that I was in an episode of House, but thankfully as a doctor, not a patient.

Dr. LT, cool. That dreams seems it could have a positive meaning:

(((Lemon))) that sounds really upsetting, I'm sorry.

Nope, they were nekkid, regular monkeys. But blonde.

Oh great. So Dr House was just screaming at you, instead of... just screaming at you?!

Eta - no wait, i get it, at least you werent on the verge of dying.

I don't remember any dreams last night...

T admitted today that there's something going on for him with regard to T1 and he's not sure what. He saw it in realtime today when I said " to me it's the same as any other trauma, it's not any different because it's a therapist. Do you know what I mean?" And he said "sorry, I don't know what you mean, I was distracted by something I was thinking".
I said that's never happened before that you were distracted and didn't listen to me.
He said "I'm going to have to take this elsewhere because I've just seen it clearly. Something is going on and I need to work out what it is. Obviously I have some sort of fear around T1"

im glad he was able to recognize and see that! hopefully it will help you.

Hope so. I am glad he saw it. At one point he said "this is in danger of turning into my therapy. Lets get back to T1"

Exactly! They weren't throwing random treatments at me, hoping something would stick...

This didn't happen in my dream, but if I was actually working with House, I'd probably be all like Cameron, in love with him and wanting to save him. The whole wounded older male authority figure thing...plus Hugh Laurie is kinda hot.

This is my favorite Hugh Laurie video.
