The Strangest, funniest or embarrasing things that have happened in a therapy session

[Guest_3712]

Hi All,

After some persuasion by a fellow poster I thought it might be a good idea to share our stories of " When therapy sessions go Wrong" or are just downright funny and/ or awkward. Surely I cant be the only one that has had these encounters. Mind you I have been in therapy for many years and only recently have found some of these episodes amusing.

So if you have reached that place where you can have a bit of a laugh at yourself or maybe its the therapist who's done something strange please share ,

So I'll start with a couple of mine. Just a couple of small teasers to get the ball rolling

Early in my therapy I was totally embarrassed to share anything , and could only talk if my psych turned his chair around. Now he was only a short fellow and the chair had a high back, so all was good and I started to unload. My psych was quiet and I thought listening intently until I heard the unmistakeable sounds of snoring! Yep my deepest darkest secrets had put my psych to sleep! UMM had a lot of explaining and grovelling to do.

Another time I became so paranoid that my secrets were going to be discovered by people that worked in the medical offices -other docs, receptionists etc so during one session I grabbed his paper and pen and refused to let him write any notes of our session! Of course I didn't think till after I went that of course he would write after I left - probably best I don't know what he wrote after that session!

So that's it , if you have some stories I'm sure others would love to hear the lighter side of therapy .

Hi again Doolhof

OMG you made my day with this one

good on you for speaking up - you spend your time doing your assignment and he couldn't do you the courtesy of listening

i imagine he paid better attention to future students and you did that - you were a trail blazer - yay !!

Hi all

Just a little pick me up for those of us feeling a little flat - and a laugh at my expense😂

Ok so this was a few years back ( but feels like yesterday as my blush starts to flood my cheeks )

It was about a week before Christmas and my session was ending. As was my usual practice I was giving doc a little gift .

Just before he opened it he called the receptionist to bring him in a report or something. He opened the gift and as was his practice he came around the desk to give me a thank you kiss on the cheek.

( hey it was Christmas ok ? )

Anyway just as we were having a quick hug, the receptionist burst in having lightly tapped on the door.

Startled I stepped back , got my foot caught in my bag strap which was on the floor , tried to dislodge strap but foot was tangled and instead fell forward and yes straight into doc's 'arms.

To his credit my doc did a great job of not falling with me on top as he is only a small guy. Finally disentangled I managed to grab my bag and what was left of my dignity and headed for door but not before noticing a big smear of my lipstick down the front of his shirt.

Thank goodness it was Christmas hols and it was 4 weeks before next appointment- often wondered how he explained the lipstick to his wife

We never spoke of it again and in subsequent years I've posted a card to his rooms .

The receptionist ? Well we had really never hit it off so whenever I saw her after that I just gave a sly little smile and let her think whatever she liked.

Hey a girl's gotta have a little fun !

I can't believe I forgot to mention this. Last week when I went to my psychotherapy appointment the psychiatrist had actually removed the horrible painting from the wall and put it behind his desk just for my session.

I looked for it and asked if he'd taken it down because of me and he said he'd put it back after my session because I seem to have a "strong reaction" to it. Polite way of saying I insulted his taste I suppose.
