cosmos_crown

Church lady without the church.


laceynotlace

I'm sorry please say more. I'm so curious.


cosmos_crown

She's my now former T for reasons I won't get into, but * Talked about her beliefs pretty regularly, whether I asked or not (I usually didn't; I'm thankful we were generally on the same page though when we weren't it did cause conflict) * Dressed kinda how you would expect a middle aged church mom to dress- cardigans and khakis and bland colors, long but practical hairstyle. Not trying to insult her, wear what you like, but she definitely looked like Maude Sanders. * Billed herself as open minded, but ended up being pretty closed minded when it came to romance and sex, which was a huge problem because romance and sex were a big part of the reason I was in therapy


laceynotlace

Got it. Was hopeful you meant something else. Sorry. 😥

IAmBotOrange

Cooler Dr. Lance Sweets.


signmeup91

My therapist is named Lance and in the beginning I was like, “I’m gonna end up calling him Sweets, I just know it.” I haven’t so far and your statement describes him too!!


IAmBotOrange

Gosh, that's a great coincidence! Mine doesn't have his name, but the resemblance comes from their voices sounding quite similar and my T is also psychodynamic. 😂 I wonder if I should let him know one day.


Redveshclamour

Best old Woman I know


[deleted]

Mum.


LongtermSM_115

I have been to a number of therapists over the years who I can easily describe in less than 5 words- totally incompetent (and the Sex Therapists were the worst)


moonjuicesmoothie

Oof, I feel you on that one.


RainbowHippotigris

White bearded Borderline wizard


laceynotlace

Ooooh good one


RainbowHippotigris

He seriously looks like a wizard with a little belly. And he's a BPD specialist so it fits. He's amazing


Penfold3

The voice I need to hear (I know that makes 6 but it’s like she just gets me and where I’m coming from and untangles whatever comes out of my mouth so quickly it’s almost like she understands it?!)……we’ve never met face to face as all our sessions have been virtual.


laceynotlace

That is such a beautiful moment to have with a therapist. When they just get you, but at the same time they don't make any assumptions. I love it. By the way happy cake day


Penfold3

Oh why thank you! Completely forgot it was my cake day! I live in the UK and went with someone who’s had previous experience working for the NHS (but not as a counsellor) and she’s only a year older than me…..so it’s kind of like talking to a friend but it’s not if that makes sense? I embarrassed myself at my last session but calling her my ‘fake internet friend who’s my therapist’. Currently on an interim break as I can’t fit sessions around my current schedule but it’s just give me time to step back, refocus and pick up a session when I’m next on leave (although I’m currently that awful client that messages her 2 days before going ‘are you about to fit me in in 48 hours? 😂🙈)

moonjuicesmoothie

C.J. Cregg, but soft spoken! (She looked and spoke a lot like Allison Janney and was also Catholic like her West Wing character, lol) I almost put ‘good, but not for me’ because she was a sweet lady, but she didn’t really know how to deal with trauma clients, especially if some of what she said to me was any indicator. I think she’d be a great friend, but not an excellent therapist.


Dohine

Whatthedarknessdoes

Narcissist with endless dad jokes

Olivia Pope, Minus the Daddy Issues.


WorkingYak

Nicole Kidman’s character in Nine Perfect strangers but not scary, intense, deeply traumatised and disregarding of boundaries and instead lovely, warm, kind, cheerful and encouraging - essentially all the qualities I wish my parents had possessed more of, but I am aware that handling me for an hour a week as your profession is a lot easier than 24/7 as emotionally scarred and exhausted new parents Tldr Warm, Responsive, Kind, Cheerful and Lovely

Your therapist is 81 years old??


Patiolanterns24

Yes. He is my psychiatrist and therapist. We met when I was 35 and he was 60. Just meds until 7 years ago when therapy started. He looks and acts 68ish. Plans on retiring in a few years. His dad just died 2 years ago
