Curiosity Unleashed!
I don't have favorites. But I do appreciate clients who cancel with more than 24 hours' notice.
Do you think I'm your favorite client?
Absolutely. And I reserve the right to respond with, “What would knowing that mean to you?” when I don't feel like answering.
Can I ask you a personal question?
I can't diagnose someone I've never met. But I can confirm that they sounds exhausting.
Do you think my ex is a narcissist?
Is it normal to feel like I'm getting worse after starting therapy?
Sometimes therapy feels like cleaning out a closet. Everything looks much worse once you've pulled it all onto the floor. Unfortunately, we can't just shove it all back in and pretend it's organized.
If not friend, why friend shaped?
Because apparently the mental health field decided the best way to help people with attachment issues was to give them a really nice person they can't hang out with.
Do you think I'm cool?
Yes. But I also think it's interesting that you want my approval.
Can I just gossip for the entire session?
Absolutely. But after 45 minutes of discussing everyone else's questionable decisions, we might have to look at yours.
Can I show you memes instead of talking about my feelings?
Of course. But if you show me 12 memes about emotionally unavailable parents, we're probably going to talk about your childhood.
