Aargh, Karen, you got in first with the *only* therapy joke that I know! :)Talking about one's children, Daisy, I really didn't want mine to know at first that I was in therapy--*I* do the looking after people, right? They were fine with it though. If my daughter was home when I returned from a session she would do this great mock sarcastic routine and sneer: 'Found yerself yet?' I had to laugh even when I felt bad underneath.
My therapist was an immensely kind but poker-faced
individual. The only time I can remember making her laugh was regarding a particular group of mental health professionals who were at loggerheads, and I said in passing that they were all experts in interpersonal relationships, that was why they all hated each other.Only other joke I can think of is Woody Allen's story about his uncle who believed himself to be a chicken. The rest of the family couldn't tell him that he wasn't. Why? Because they needed the
eggs :) That's probably relevant to family therapy?Jokes aside, Karen you said it all about the bad and good times.
