Couch 172: Couch me if you can

Happy birthday Echos

Ah, but isn't that like the most satisfying thing in therapy? When the client can finally see the thing that the therapist (and likely many other people in the client's life) has seen all along? I bet he'll be happy for you that you feel like it's a breakthrough, even if it isn't the first time he's thought it himself.

My T just did that today, where she was like, "Oh, isn't thing that just like this other thing?" So effortlessly, yet I had not made the connection. It's fascinating and also a little annoying when she's right.

In 5 hours I'll be sitting in t's driveway putting on my floppy hat and sunglasses haha I am already nervous! Keep telling myself to chill out its just t!!!! Sheesh, me.

Echoes, Happy Birthday, hopefully the picture works-

I'm sick so I just had a nap. Dreamed t found all my dear t letters (I save most of them on Word) and she wasn't happy.

Waiting for my Shipt (groceries) to come in.

I had the weirdest dream about my prev prev t last night. And last week about prev t - the usual one about my being an hour away and it being my appointment time right then.

Awesome thanks

Yay, seems the image works.

You guys were right. From T (I think he dashed this off between sessions):

"Very interesting insight! I look forward to talking more about it Monday. Good thinking!"

(He likes his exclamation points!)

Great now I'm gonna be in trouble at work. My cube-mate was on a call and this other group near us was standing up in the aisle loudly talking and laughing and I glared at them and they walked away. Couple minutes later a Sr manager comes over and asks who my supervisor is. My cube-mate had seen one of the loud people go talk to her just before she came over so we figure he told on me for glaring. She explained to the sr manager what happened but I'll probably still get talked to about my attitude. If I do I'm throwing them under the bus. This is ********. I am still trying to either move or get work at home.

(((Artie))) i would ask why would YOU get in trouble, seein's as to how the group was interfering in work taking place and all you did was raise an eyebrow. Plus i would ask if the group was discriminating against me because of my eye. You didnt say anything!!!

I got written up for getting red in the face, but not saying anything. I have rosacea, youre darn right im gonna get red in the face. Its bs.

I got written up for blushing .. some people think that’s attractive in a young female bear

So this past weekend was a birthday trip, that was nice?

Would that have been freaky if i had told you to look under the bed for the laptop? I think people on here woulda been like, she IS a spy!! But somehow i just KNEW.

People ARE crazy. They take one supervisor class in reading body language and they think they are unassailable in their conclusions.

I agree! Grrrrrrrrr

Ooh I should have thought of that. Dang. Next time!!!!!! But yeah that's how it goes here. Those kids need to get off my lawn. I need to be work at home already. Boss is still trying to get approval for me and cube-mate to do so.

Yes that's how it goes here too. You can get in trouble for the craziest stuff but not for something like talking loudly in the aisles and disrupting others.

I'm about to fight fire with fire and see how they like it maybe I'll bring my drum in and start banging on it randomly.

Artie is In A Mood. Look out, t...

She still hasn’t answered even after I clarified. I think this may be because I told her I didn’t want to hear yet another anodyne “I get that.”

In other words I am requiring her to think past the therapist manual.

Is it time for a margarita yet?

Happy Birthday, Echos!

Thanks im determined to stay up till it isn't anymore

Bang the Drum Randomly - sounds like a redux book title.

Here's my emails with T over the last 24h or so.
Yesterday. Followed by "please don't respond to that, I'm sorry"
