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

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 .

Hey Quercus

love it !

I can see it all so clearly . Forget filters if you can't say these things to your psych , who can you say it too

Besides they learn coping skills too I'm sure somewhere he learnt how to recover after swallowing a fly 😱

Hey Quercus,

At least your psych talks and has some reaction even if he is choking trying to control himself.

My psychologist was so quiet and stuck for words when I talked about how I was feeling, that the silence was deafening. I was close to walking out again thinking I could get the same reaction from my husband.

I don' have to leave home, drive 30 minutes, sit in a waiting room or pay to have that same reaction at home.

Hi Mrs D

I do agree- what a let down .

Did she say or offer anything ? Maybe u should have self diagnosed and then asked her what she thought ?

very disappointing

Be kind to yourself

Hey Mrs D,

I'm with Stressless! What the hell?! Seriously what could you possibly have said that warranted that? Way to make you feel uncomfortable!

Did you confront her about it?

You sure she wasn't an accountant Mrs D?

Hey guys

Thanks for sharing

Funny stuff

😂

Yer, I agree with Stressless, the funny stuff is the best!

Keep up with the stories everyone.

I'm going to schedule my own sessions here at home.

Maybe I will set up two chairs and I will move from chair to chair, in one I will be me, in the other I will be the kind of therapist I need. That might work!

Could be interesting if you were a fly on the wall!
