i once sent a photo of me and my bearded dragon both wearing cowboy costumes to my therapist with the caption “who said cowboys couldn’t be cute”. was meant for my boyfriend and i wanted to die until she sent me a photo of her cat, also wearing a cowboy costume, with the caption “they can indeed!”
This is reminding me of that time when I took a picture of my black lab, Clover, looking particularly sad and I captioned it with, "Clover's very cute, and sweet and everyone loves her!" I tried to send it to my friend, to show her what she looked like, but I accidentally sent it to my therapist instead, she thought that I was projecting how I wanted to be praised and loved onto my dog
@@RedshirtAfficionado let's go ahead and give them the benefit of the doubt that they know this person better than we do. There's no reason the truth can't be that OP does love their dog but also projects a desire for love and praise. I'd be very ready to accept that diagnosis myself, honest.
I always feel like I need to have control of everything, so I once told my therapist "For once I'd like to embrace chaos". Problem is I'm italian and pronounced it wrong, so she looked at me in a very thoughtful enquiry way and said "Why cows? 🤔" 😂 She may have thought we had a looot more sessions than expected 🤣 We laughed so much about it 😂
My therapist once interrupted me in a session to point out that I'd just nonchalantly used the phrase "straight-up dastardly". I apparently actually talk like that in real life. Still not sure what to make of that revelation, to be honest.
The phrase, not the whole comment. Though that's funny to think about, someone claiming a commenter's experience as their own to other people and telling the OP that they were going to do it
My therapist would laugh it off. I recently confessed to developing a temptation to straight up steal random objects from stores and she professionally worked through that and successfully tied it back to my codependent relationship with my mother. Any normal person would have been like “b!tch, WTF?” Instead of “tell me why you’re targeting stuffed toys and candy, do you think this could be related to any feelings from childhood we’ve been talking about?”
surprised Matt hasn't accidently sent anything to his therapist. With the amount of mad stuff he's witnessed I'm surprised he hasn't had any brain trauma
At least we know that these are all decent therapists. The reason why all the screenshots are from patients is because the therapists remembered to respect their patient confidentiality agreements 😎
all therapists have a "therapist" (in quotations because they basically are, but also different and not called therapists) but yeah they basically talk about stuff their clients said and stuff like that (source: therapists saying this in the internet)
Not strictly a therapist, but one time I had to send some evidence of my mental health needs to my uni and accidentally sent a pic of my beige among us crocs instead
Bro you made me get grounded bc I burst out laughing in the middle of the night when I’m supposed to be asleep and my mom took my phone, I’m sending this from my Nintendo switch 😭😭
To be fair! I feel like accidentally sending some of these to your therapist does give them some more insight into what's on your phone, which, in turn, might give them some insight into how your mind works, as they get to see a bit more of you than what you'd normally show
The best part is that I know exactly how my therapist would respond and the tone in her voice if I sent any of this to her. A very simple, “You are hilarious.” That’s like, one of her catchphrases since she knows I use humor as a coping mechanism. Love that woman to death ❤
I don't know which brit is more impressive, the guy who perfectly pronounced Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch or Matt at 3:00 Edit : "The Guy" is Liam Dutton
I feel like this could use a follow up. "Weirdest things our therapists have said to us." A common example I can site is every time I walked into the office of a new psychiatrist (the ones who can prescribe mediation), almost every single one would stare at me wide-eyed and pale and flatly ask me "are you hearing voices?" At first I would just politely explain "I'm not schizophrenic, I just have high functioning autism, ADHD and minor turrets." It started happening so often however that I started having fun with it by replying "Just yours right now" or "Could you repeat that? My hearing is crap."
No offense to the psychiatrists, but why the fuck would *that* be their first question? Do schizophrenics have a “look” or something? ‘Cause that just doesn’t sound right. (I’m woozy from poor sleep/possible sleep seizure, so I’m sorry if this makes no sense/seems offensive or something.)
"I got distracted by a chipmonk" - I personally have never gotten distracted by a monk that likes Lay's, but I guess there's a first time for everything
Honestly I think most good therapists would laugh this stuff off. Last week I confessed to my long time therapist that I was having strange urges to steal small items from stores lately, and half an hour later she had me bawling about how my unhealthy relationship with my mother had led to feelings of shame about asking for my wants/needs and how that related to the impulse to take things without asking or paying for them. That was super weird but she was a professional the whole time.
At this point I don't think anything I could send my therapist would phase her, I show her strange videos I find on RU-vid every once in a while. Every time I'm about to do something stupid I can imagine her shaking her head at me, it's honestly stopped me from doing a lot of stupid shit 😂
Accidentally called my therapist a terrorist repeatedly while telling a traumatic event,she answered with a “are you okay?” And I answered with a ✨ *WOMP WOMP* ✨
my friend goes to therapy, and she has a lot of fun with her therapist sometimes and they share the same interests/humor. one day, my friend’s bird got almost eaten by her dog. after she told us about it, she emailed her therapist saying “my bird died” and attached an image of angry bird.
Ngl the last one was the best because the therapist sympathizes and acknowledges the world is a dark and musty place instead of telling the victim to be positive 😂😂
Accidentally texted my “ex-therapist”: “Im ready for my appointment (therapist’s name), ready whenever you are” She texted back “I think you have the wrong person.” i about cried, i felt like a dirty cheater.
I nearly would have gotten in this category twice just this past March, sending memes and such to a friend. One was the opossum meme with the colorful text saying "if god turns his back on you, grab his ass" ...how could I hope to explain that text at nearly 7 AM?
I’m gonna be honest here, if I was a therapist and I was sent a Yee meme I don’t think our relationship would be completely professional from that point onwards
The therapists i have been to did nothing to help me because "oh you just have autism it's no biggie it's just your autism speaking" the system is rigged beyond belief but when i have to get blood tests done the nurses are always really nice so i would rather have my blood taken with the biggest needle ever and without numbing creme than going to a therapist because they will most likely turn me down in some way because of my autism (this got dark I'm sorry i just felt like getting it out of my head)
your experiences are valid and you deserve better! there's still lots of ableism in the healthcare system, unfortunately. finding the right therapist can take some time, but once you find one who understands you I promise therapy is very worth it.
@@spineofthesaurus my really nice doctor sent a long detailed note with many reasons why i need help to a new therapist so I'm crossing fingers that they will listen
I has a HS project and I needed an intro and outdo animations on it and asked a friend who at the time was into animations and movies, he did well but his program that he was using crashed and files got kinda corrupted so I texted him thanks for trying. But you guessed it I sent “Thanks for trying” to my therapist. Safe to say my phone didn’t stop ringing for a good hour getting calls from my therapist my parents and a bunch of other folks who for privacy reasons I shall not name. 😅
Bruh my therapist is only accessable digitally from my mom's email, constantly eats during our meetings and I don't even know their name. I wish I was joking. I just love American healthcare.
omg what????? this is one of the strangest stories I've heard about a therapist in a while. but yeah, yay for american healthcare. my friend recently got an email from their doctor that contained a cancer diagnosis. she had called the hospital two days in a row with no response and sent countless emails, and it wasn't until she called a third day that the hospital confirmed that she did NOT have cancer and the email was sent by mistake. my friend didn't even get an apology.
Different but I accidentally sent several pictures to my supervisor instead of my wife… They were some pretty wholesome memes, one of which was the cat “chonk chart.” He text me back that he rated himself somewhere around “heckin’ chonker” and “heftychonk”
2:49. I used to do this with my mother and a group chat (the first member had the same first name as my mother and it gave an ellipsis (...) for both her last name and the rest of the group members so I'd always confuse it). Facebook sucks.
I can't say I haven't done this, I sent my therapist a gif of Sideshow Bob laughing maniacally when she told me she had a last minute cancellation and could see me sooner than expected
