Kind of sad when you have to explain to a comedian that you were only kidding, eh? That is the thing about therapists, they take everything so literally. Like he'll ask "How does that make you feel" And I'll say "Like a dumb ass" And he'll go into this big explanation about how I'm in fact not a dumb ass, but very inteligent, ect. I just feel like he's not listening. I know I'm smart, but sometimes I feel stupid. And I don't need him to tell me I'm not. I know I'm not. UGHHH!! It's frustrating!
Sorry! Back to you! Oh, BTW, we are doing a post on therapy gripes and they are very funny.. you should read and contribute... see the posts below! :)
I'm curious.. What happened at the hairdresser's???
You could always check online to find out where he will be. I'd be curious to see his show. Not to find out if he uses clients, but to see his sense of humor. Especially since he lacks one in the office :)
Would you go to a show if you knew where it was? Why or why not? I think it would be interesting to see a different side to your therapist, especially such a different side. It seems so weird because my therapist and I are always cracking jokes. Maybe yours avoids them because he is a comedian. And doesn't want anyone to think that he is just using humour because it is also what he does well. Understand what I'm saying? But, I htink it is normal for all therapists (at least those who aren't dry) to use a bit of humor when appropriate.Go this weekend and see his show.
Tell me if he's funny.
If he's not funny, tell him next week not to quit his day job!
