Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

Its true i am very near Canada.

They have loonys and twonys. Gotta love 'em.

In talking with Dr. T about the move today (now scheduled for last Friday in June), he said I'm probably the client who, overall, has spent the most time in his office, based on how long I've been seeing him and the frequency with which I attend (even taking the Covid virtual stretch into account). Which made me feel kind of special. He said it makes sense I'd be so affected by it.

We also talked about something interesting--of course, we all know I have anxious attachment to people, but he said maybe that applies to places and objects, too. It came up in part from my talking about struggles to get rid of things in my house as we're moving things around (shifting rooms) post mold remediation. But it made a lot of sense. Like, I feel I need to keep an object or be able to go to a space to hold onto the feeling from it. Where if I were securely attached, I could just go with my memories. He suggested taking photos of some objects and that he saw somewhere about people make those photos into a book on Shutterfly or whatever people use now. So you still have a tangible item to look at, but much smaller than keeping a bunch of things. I liked that idea.

I feel like this move (well, I guess both Dr. T's and what's going on at my house), while painful, is leading to lots of good therapy work and insights.

Ladies! LADIES! Must you call names?

Be good, or I’ll schedule a couples therapist for you.

You need a Faraday cage to block electromagnetic waves. Tin foil doesn’t help in that regard.

Hopefully the best woo woo one money can buy who can inform SD about their current dynamic being due to a mix of energies. With Jupiter transitioning into Gemini and all of that.

Aluminum foil does not completely block RFID signals, it just inhibits them. It makes it a lot harder for the signal to travel, but doesn't block it completely
But we just use the bags from amazon

The only thing more useless than a regular therapist is a couples therapist.

i am happy to provide such a reference

Work has sure been keeping H busy lately! They just gave him 3 jobs - 2 to Phoenix and one to Vegas. I don't go back to work until Tuesday so I could have gone with him, but I really have no desire to go to Vegas so... I opted for a quite evening/night at home alone. Well, me and Penny and my poetry.

Objects and spaces might symbolize stability, safety, and emotional connections. By clinging you may just be attempting to maintain a sense of control and continuity amidst life’s changes. They also bring you comfort, so makes sense why change would be hard.

Just an idea but also trying to work on cultivating a more integrated sense of self, could also help not just the attachment work alone. Both address aspects of identity. The integrated self would be more about achieving a clearer and balanced internal self , whereas attachment is more about understanding and improving the dynamics of interpersonal relationships based on early attachment experiences.

I had Janina Fisher recommended to me, but I never bought the book.

Time to go all out baby girl and also get them both past life readings with birth charts made too.

It could be like that Fraiser episode where they see the therapist who tells them to go their separate ways and they bond after reading his certificates.

(P.S I can see why we were 66% matched)

Well done for doing what was right for you. Hope you can rest.

Lemon, that is one of my all time favorite episodes. I just loooove Niles singing reggae!

Ladies? Even jerry lewis wouldnt call us that!

We are the Couch Crones
The literature describes the crone archetype as a pre-existent form in the collective unconscious that embodies instinctive ways of channeling wisdom, inner knowing, and intuition, guiding us through the transition of life, and going inward to bring forth the light for transformation. When women resonate or activate the crone archetypal image they tap into the psyche, to reclaim primordial images and receive the power within them that honor older women.

Yeah!!!!

Are you sure you’re not a therapist in deep cover?

The Horror.

I was just gonna ask if sd was L under cover!

You all are making SD a therapist? What has the couch come to in my absence.

I just love Niles full stop.

I’m not sure what episode is my favourite. I used to rewatch it every year. Oddly haven’t done so yet.

It was the archetype mention, which caused the collective spidey sense to tingle.

How have you been Jersey?

Hey Lemon. How are you? Glad to see you are still hanging around here.

Hi Jersey!
