My counsellor and I had a in depth discussion about whether we'd rather be a werewolf or a vampire, plus how we'd survive a zombie apocalypse!
Both vitally important subjects.

I had an in depth discussion on Saber-tooth-tigers in a psycho-educational group once- very very helpful actually!
Here's the day you hoped would never come,
Don't feed me violins, just run with me
through rows of speeding cars.
21 on the run, on the run, on the run
From myself, from myself and everyone
I better leave the light on
The darkness, The sweetness, The sadness, The weakness,
O, I need this

My CPN seriously overuses the word 'concerned'. So in a fit of manic inspiration I wrote a list of other words she could use, including 'vexed', 'perturbed' and 'pained'. We still laugh about it to this day.
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
When my mum found my stock of pills she rang my cpn up and told her without me knowing, my mum tried to get me to talk about it but i wouldn't, i flipped. So went it came to my session to see her she did tell me ' there was a heck of alot of tablets there Lauren' I was kinda thinking ' yep i know i was stock piling them!'
But i guess she was trying to drill it home that she was concerned and that i could have done some real damage.
I don't see a problem with any of these. The first one is a friendly rhetorical comment. The second is a supportive comment to let you know that you don't have to deal with things all by yourself, which is surely better than going it alone. The third comment is them showing you that they've noticed your mood is flat, have validated this feeling and are showing they care / instigating discussion about this. Which I think is better than completely ignoring how you seem.
Perhaps try not to be so picky.
These people are there to help and can't be expected to be perfect with everything they say. What's the use in making derogatory observations about such innocent comments..
Im fully aware of that.
This is just a jovial thread to mention the odd overtly obvious or untactful phrase that people in the MH profession often come out with.
Not in a negative or abusive way, but just to bring a light hearted context to sessions that can often be quite daunting and stressful.
Laughter is the best medicine, right? :)
My counsellor constantly tells me that the hour I see her is my hour! If I cancel I pay regardless one day I got dates muddled up so cancelled and then realised I could make it so 2 days before I sent her a text saying I could make it but understood if she couldn't!
Come the session she said how would you of felt if I said I couldn't make your hour I replied that I wouldn't really of cared because I don't expect her to sit in her chair staring at 'my' chair for those 50 minutes!!! She semi acknowledged my point looked perturbed and then said it's your hour!!!!
So yes I own an hour of someone's life!!

I like this thread! The one I'm going to share is actually something I joke with my therapist about often now.
I was having a really bad day, and mid-meltdown, I texted her. Essentially a frantic text explaining the situation, and why I was so distraught.. She texts me back, like 4 hours later, and the message I see is 'You appear to be in emotion mind.' Like.. Really?.. Ya think! Haha, she did end up completing her thought process in a series of four texts, but that first one was the only thing I saw at that moment. <3

I just saw someone for the second time today and we had a lovely conversation- after she shockingly told me she was a Muggle and could not fix me with a magic wand, we agreed on how terrible Muggle transit is, and how the Floo Network needs to be more widely used...
I think I may like her.
You've got a good'un

"Emotions come and go in waves! Just remember, it will also disappear again."
A psychologist managed to repeat every 1-2 weeks, for 3 months in a row.
"Okay, imagine you're a tree. Pretend your feet are rooted in the ground"
It kinda gave me a laugh attack, not to mention we were on the 5th floor of a building.
"Can you promise me you won't jump into crisis tonight?"
"Not 100%, but it's not likely it will happen" (I refuse to make a promise I'm not 100% sure I can keep)
"Okay, can you promise me to call us if you do?"
"Nope, I've got a severe telephone phobia, remember?"
"Okay, will you pick up the phone if we call you?"
"Ehmz, no, I've got a phone phobia, remember?"
(This went on for 30 minutes, until I agreed to have a phonecall around 22.00, which was forgotten anyway.)
Tell me that past times won't die.
Tell me that old lies are alive.

I have also had a delightful convo like that. Sometimes only a mallet would get the message across.

The psychologist tells me 'this is your space.'
The psychiatrist tells me 'you're on another planet'
Then I wonder how to interpret this. I'm on another planet, but it's my space. I think, I'm in my space, in space. I laugh.
My psychiatrist also leaves his facebook up during our appointments & tells me not to update his status when he's out of the room. 'So this is myspace, but that's your facebook? riiiiiight....'

I like him, he's funny.
I'd troll him and ask him how that makes him feel

Haha! Psychiatrist is funny, pscyhologist is nice but so weird in the things he notices.
I hate when my psychologist comments on how I look. The other day he said I looked 'presentable and well co-ordinated' DO I NOT NORMALLY LOOK PRESENTABLE AND COORDINATED?! maybe it was silver top/silver eyeshadow that made me look less crazy. Hahahaa. He wrote it down too. He even wrote down that I sang to him, although he said he wasn't allowed to rate my singing ability in his notes!
