Ways to anger your psychologist

Post Reply New Topic

Cross your legs, fold your hands across your knees, lean in peering intently, and say,
"You seem to be a bit depressed lately... Is there anything I can do?"

<kidding> "I see dead people" "I fantasize about having sex with my daddy. He's dead."

I miss my previous one who did understand and I do try. The new one, that I 'divorced' this afternoon was CONFUSING for me. I tried so hard and wrote, wrote, wrote. Sigh.

That's odd? Boy, I'd better tell the guy I knew in undergrad who dressed almost exactly like that . . . lol.

Be completely ambiguous.

Therapist: So you don't feel this way.

Me: Well, yeah, sometimes I do.

Therapist: So you do feel this way.

Me: Well, on the other hand, sometimes I don't.

Therapist: So which one is it?

Me: Both.

Therapist: I don't understand. How can it be both.

Me: It just is. I can't explain it. If I could explain it, I wouldn't be here.


I used this technique on a counselor in undergrad who blackmailed me into coming to sessions. At first he told me that he was going to have me taken out of school and sent home on a medical withdrawal for the semester. Then he "rethought" it and decided that I could stay, but only as long as I kept seeing him. After that, I had no reason to trust him; so I didn't.

Okay, how about a pair of pink nylons with a pair of bright flowered bikini panties over them, a dress shirt with a built-in bowtie, a Jewish prayer cap, a steel-toed work boot on one foot and a leather sandal on another, strings of unmatching beads hanging over both ears, and long hair or a long-haired wig in five ponytails?

Actually, that's pretty close to some of the outfits that I wore as a freshman in undergrad. Except, you didn't mention a spiked dog collar or a multi-colored beanie.

Damn; I can't make a unique one.

How about a priest's robe, a green St. Patrick's Day hat, a yellow and green flipflop on one foot and a black moccassin on the other, and a pacifier and a strobe light on a piece of yarn around your neck? And a dangly chandelier earring with white pearls in it, and a house key hanging from it, and a red bandanna around your head with an orange Nano Kitty and a little changepurse on a keychain dangling from it?

Okay, I've never done that one, but my roommate did a version of it . . . only she was carrying around a sword as well . . .

hope you solidify soon.

this is also why it goes badly for me with Psychos and why no effort on my part is needed to anger them, they just get mad at me when i am actually trying.

Every time s/he says anything, respond with

"And how does that make you feel?"

Well, here is the real truth: If you have HFA or Asperger's, you are probably already making them mad, because they are not automatically understanding anything you are trying to convey.

So it's easy. You show up, they get mad.

or just look away from him rock back and forth and always when he says someting just be like (looking floor) huh??

l"augthing and falled off the chair" ! i must try that

there are very understanding pyschs/specialists of autism-without autism out there,am have known two of them for a long time [one a autism specialised speech therapist and the other,a autism specialised pyschologist] they understand am, and autism in general,they will do anything to get ignorant people to understand am,from talks,meetings,training,or complain on behalf of am to managers if it's something thats' very bad thats happened.
They don't treat autistics as label criterias either,they treat all with own individual difficulties and strengths,and they fight to get this across to other professionals.


Ticker,
why not just ask why she think it's mild aspergers?
it might actually be that it is "mild",severity can mean different things to different people.

I used to make up dreams with really obvious psychology implications so that he would analyze them while I tuned out. It was pretty much the only way to get him to talk so that I wouldn't have to.

Reading about the economics of profit maximization might work.

The idea is to make as much money as you can so that you can pay your workers more. This typically involves taking advantage of consumer ignorance--i.e., being mean to the consumer.

At some point, our society may advance to a level where consumers will recognize what companies are being mean to them and learn to boycott those companies.

My therapist makes $100 a session exaggerating my faults, pronouncing judgments on me, and avoiding fair debate. Why do I still get therapy from her? Because my mother makes me.

You know what would be nice? If there were a set of guidelines that companies could follow out of respect for the consumer that would grant them the privilege of using a symbol in their advertising. This symbol would indicate that by following the guidelines, the company takes advantage of consumer ignorance to only a minimal degree. If we did this, it might allow us to boycott the selfish companies more easily. What do you think?
