OK, well I need to laugh so badly because I have been so depressed and it seems like many of you are in the same boat so let's share (once again) some of our funniest moments in therapy:

Mine was just a few weeks ago.

So I'm sitting there and I had a huge hot flash while talking to T and asked him if my face was red. Meanwhile my face felt like it was burning! He nodded yes so I went to get a drink of water. As I came back in the room and sat down I promptly spilled the water all over his table. I was MORTIFIED and grabbing for tissues while saying omg omg omg. T just sat so calmly as if nothing was happening and sent me to get another drink. When I came back in I said to him, "I need a seat belt."

I keep laughing in retrospect because I was running back and forth like the keystone cops. Jeeze, I wasn't nervous or anything during that session was I?

What's your funny T story?

(((((((sister)))))))))))
we are 22 remember

Although I didn't find this funny at the time, I do now.

I was standing at the receptionist window after a session with T. I was leaning my head on my hand, and my elbow was on the ledge to the receptionist's window.

Well, T walked in behind the receptionist and was doing something with a file. I was waiting for the secretary to get off the phone and was in my own world thinking about who knows what. When I came back to earth, I unnervingly noticed that my gaze was directed right at T's package! I took my gaze upwards for what seemed like hours only to meet T's eyes looking straight back at me!! OMG!! I totally panicked!!!!!! He totally caught me staring at his package!!! I turned around and just about RAN out of the office. It was so humiliating!

I have NEVER acknowledged this DIRECTLY to him - but I have indirectly. The next session he starts with something like, "So, you have the type of OCD that causes you to feel guilty about things like when you are a student in class and you find yourself accidentally staring at another kid's paper?" I know I turned bright red. I just said, "I know EXACTLY of what you are speaking!" He said, "I'm curious to know what you mean by that? I have no idea." I met that statment with total silence. I'm feeling a bit adventurous, does anyone dare me to address it directly at my next session? ROFL

I remember once I showed up for my couples session and I was kind of dreading it. I didn't want to be there. I felt I needed an individual session with T before I met with him and my husband and that had not been possible to schedule. My husband was supposed to meet me at T's office but I got there early. In the waiting room was another woman. T had accidentally double booked her for my couples session. I felt like it was an answer to my prayers. I would not have to do the couples session! Thank you, God!!! Anyway, T comes into the waiting room when he hears us talking and is taken aback. He realizes he screwed up and double booked. I offer to the other woman that she can have the session. Then she says no, no, you take it. I say no, you should have it. And it went on. Finally I said I don't even really want to be here, so this is perfect, you take the session. Then she said, I don't want to be here today either, so you take it. This was pretty funny, T was chagrinned. He had two clients there, neither of whom wanted to see him! I bet that was a first.

Finally, T intervened and said one of us could have the slot afterwards because that was open. It would not work for the other client. T explained to her that it was really important that I got the slot because my husband and I were "in crisis." So she left. And then T let me have the first session alone and my husband had to wait an hour, and then he joined us for the second hour. It worked out perfectly.

I just remember that look on T's face as his two clients bent over backwards to NOT have to do therapy with him.

oh that is funny!

[confused4ever]

Ok I guess one of the funniest moments was when we were talking in session about the abuse and how it effects me today, it was pretty deep and I had my paper clip going in my hand twisting it and everything, well it flung out of my hands and bounced off of the chair he was sitting in, ........he looked at me and asked what that was, I told him and he continued to talk, I started to shut down and started to wander. Next thing I see him on his hands and knees looking on the floor.....I asked him what the heck he was doing, he said "looking for your paper clip you talk more with it in your hands".......LOL.........well I lost it, he gave me one of those looks like ok I look stupid don't I.........I told him that any paper clip will work, doesn't have to be that same one..........ha...........it was like watching a light bulb go off, he got up and took one off his desk and handed it to me.........LOL..........it was funny..........and by then we were both laughing and didn't get much more in anyway!!

A couple of xmas's ago when T was having her roof done, we both were sitting in one of our silences, when suddenly there was a bang!" we both looked at each other and said "Santa"! LOL

[krazibean]

one session i was sitting there talking to T, and she was listening intently. All of a sudden i slowed my speech and my eyes got really big and i was staring at something on the floor. I stopped in the middle of the sentence of whatever i was saying and i said, "i'm sorry but theres a REALLY big spider under your chair." and her eyes perked up and said WHERE! then she found it and was like, "should i kill it or let it outside?" she ended up letting it outside but the way she was trying to pick it up with the tissue was hysterical. she said, "i'm trying to be professional here, if i was at home i'd be screaming by now." HAHAH.

About a year ago I had rather large stretched ears and one my nervous gestures i guess was to play with the plugs (large earrings in the hole). Well, i was with my T for our second session, and everyone knows how awkward and frightening those first few sessions are, right? So after a few minutes of twitching about with my earrings, one of them popped out, and rolled underneath her couch. We were just finishing the session too...so, my T gets down on all fours and undertakes a massive search to find that earring! I mean, she was really going after it! I promptly replied with a "no please, its really not a big deal, really..". However, i guess it was a big deal to her! Eventually i got down on the floor along with her and began searching as well. After around ten or fifteen minutes of searching we finally gave up, there was someone waiting for the next appointment. So me and T walk out of the office together into the waiting room, only with our faces to be bright red, with the two of us nearly panting from our arduous endeavor. I can only imagine what the next client was thinking!!!

Sunny, yours is hysterical!! Both of you saying, "No-- I don't want to have a session with him-- you go!!" HAHAHAHA

I have mentioned a few of mine on here before.

One time I was wearing an outift with a sort of long shirt and a belt over the shirt. When the session was over, I stood up and the belt completely fell off. I was so embarrassed that he thought I was trying to disrobe or something, lol.

One time I couldn't get out of the room!!! The doorknob was stuck or something and I'm standing there turning it and fiddling with it and it wouldn't open! I started getting really hot and anxious and finally the door opened after what seemed like years!

Then there was the unforgettable time very early in our therapy sessions when T and I were talking about something and it was something I wished I could just make disappear. He said, "You can't put a bandaid on it, so what should we do?" And I promptly replied, "Go to bed." LOL I meant that I should go to sleep so that I could forget about the problem. To make matters worse, I tried to fix this by saying, "Um, I mean.... not go to bed together..... you know, like take naps... separate naps of course....." And he was just looking at me, so amused.

And nothing beats my fall down the stairs. He didn't see it. He had already closed the door and I was leaving. I was walking down the stairs and all of a sudden-- CRASH!!! There was no way he could have not heard it. I was dying. I got up and BOOKED outta there before he could come out and say, "What happened???" The next day I was bruised and in pain. I never did tell him about that.

One time in the city office were were in the middle of deep conversation and a mouse ran straight across the room. I literally jumped out of my chair.

Oh and today was pretty funny. See, when we were in the original office in the city, we were on the 4th floor and whenever things would get difficult I would joke and say, "I'm goin' out the window!!" Well now we are in the office in the suburbs on the 1st floor. So today things got difficult and I said, "I'm jumpin' out the window!!" And I then I turn around to look out the window for the 1st time and said, "...........into a pile of sticks, apparently!" LOL and we both just started laughing.

[Gracey]

I think mine had to be when we all went to the lake for a sunday school picnic. T and I went to the same church. . .duh. So, we're out there, and T and his wife are in the boat, mutual friends of ours, and me and my son. I was up to next to waterski. . .completed a BEAUTIFUL dive into the lake, and put my skis on. Ohhh I had a ball! Sliding back and forth, jumping waves. . .it was FLAWLESS. Until that damn log!!! Hit the log, crashed and burned. Blew across the water at forty miles an hour booty over teakettle, until coming to a sinking stop.

Yeah. Georgous. Lovely.

And then, my knee was busted up so I couldn't haul my butt into the boat. So, T leans out, grabs hold of the rear of my lifejacket, and starts pulling. Lifejacket to leg, and then bam, I'm in the boat.

I'm pretty sure if I'd been ten I would have split a part over that. LOL

[jbug]

One of my first T's I had when I moved here to Arkansas his office was on the second floor of this building. Well I was hurrying up the stairs and fell up the stairs and just kind of landed in his waiting room. His secretary was like umm Hi Jan. I just wanted to crawl in a hole well I stood up and went over to his side of the office...he shared an office with my pdoc also and didn't notice that my knee was bleeding and Sean came in and was like man what happened to you I laughed and said I fell and the stairs won. He laughed and handed me a tissue and asked if my owie was ok. I then realized maybe he was better as a child T than an adult T.

Jbug

does it count that i almost went to T in two different shoes? i noticed at the last moment, and i had been running errands all morning that way. The other two matching shoes were in a washroom at star bucks.

one other time he forgot to turn off his ringer and the phone rang, we both looked at it and i said "i swear this time it's not me"

[splitimage]

I was seing a psychistrist, who I didn't particularly like, who worked out of a psych hospital and she had all of these really big locks and bolts on her door. Alarms were always going off when I was there, and staff were always calling different codes & I got pretty good at ignoring them. Until one day, this different alarm sounds and she never blinking gets up and proceeds to lock every lock on her door including this one really big bolt that went into the floor. She comes back sits down and says "you were saying..." I never did find out what the alarm was about.

--splitimage

[chaotic13]

HA,HA.. I would have been like WTF!

"...excuse me, does this mean a potty break is out of the question?"

OMG Split, that is hilarious.

I've mentioned this one on here before, but it's worth re-mentioning. When I lived in NY I had a session with my pdoc on Halloween. I really couldn't stand my pdoc and I would be VERY resistant with him.

Well he comes out of the waiting room to get me and he is wearing the hat from the The Cat in the Hat!! It's like 3 feet tall. So I go in and we proceed to have the session, and I never mention the hat, not once. I just acted like there was nothing unusual going on. He wore it the entire time. We had a 20 minute session, me being..... me, and him wearing a 3 ft. tall hat.

[mlpHolmes]

I had a check-in by phone with my T before the holidays. I was kidda stressed. He said where would you like to go instead of being with all the company? I said "Tibet, do you want to come with me??!!!" He shouts loudly "To Bed?!!! come with you!uh,uh, uh uh?" LOL!
