Via e-mail to him:

The therapist asked me if I felt as close to my boyfriend as I want to.

I said...

Yes.

His response:

as close as you want huh...so thats what? 350 yard restraining order?



(Oh my contrary boyfriend. That trait is endearing in anyone, in my eyes.)

I realized recently that I can automatically sniff out who has a narcissistic personality, even if I don't consciously know it, and then gravitate toward the person. (Yes, I'm a bit fascinated by the subject lately.)

Just now, one of my intern coworkers was jokingly (I think) recounting what he usually writes on his progress notes:

"Client rambled on aimlessly for entire session while I...

My parents are so damn narcissistic.

I told them I didn't want to go around telling everyone I was going for a doctorate at this point, but then I call them today and a guy friend of theirs picks up and says, "Hi, Laura. I hear you're doing your Ph.d."

Gaaahhh. Ok, first of all, it's not a Ph.D but a Psy.D. Secondly, why do...

I've figured out that I do better giving therapy services than receiving them.

1) Most therapists totally misunderstand me and are biased toward emotion and not attentive enough toward biology (my neurological quirks affect a lot, including indirectly affecting my emotional life). It's possible that the fact I've had only female professionals (a therapist and a tester) may have had something to do with this...

The ability to tolerate differences in people is a sign of emotional maturity.

Yet another relevant thought by Murray Bowen.

Today, a client of mine said I'm particularly helpful in my provision of alternative perspectives on his various situations, since he often doesn't see them himself. For example, today I helped him see that negative personality traits are often necessarily present for the flip-side positive ones to exist. Therefore, there should be no shame in presenting all sides of one's self in relationships. And real...

I'm at the end of a very difficult bout of food poisoning. I've identified the cause as a aloe vera juice I was using to make homemade mouthwash with.

Yesterday, I was throwing up virtually every hour, most of the time with nothing there to come up and just uncomfortable, uncontrollable dry retching. Drinking water only made the urge worse. I was searching desperately on...

This seems to be a useful tool for determining what kind of taste in girls (or girls' styles) a guy (or girl) has, since it's the same girl in each one and that takes out a confounding variable.

Ask, "Which version do you like best?"



Votes, anyone?

deepsister2000: so tell me what you think of this and if you think this is bullshit as much as i do:
deepsister2000: my supervisor goes, "did you ask how they're feeling? lots of people don't even know what they're feeling"
deepsister2000: she bases her entire therapy sessions on that
wycann: i would shoot her if it was legal
deepsister2000: hahaha!
deepsister2000: thank you

Cody was saying all sorts of things to my cat Maya. She paid no heed until he said, "You're PUDGY."

Then, she pulled one of these:



It was priceless.

This just in.

I didn't remember this, but my dad just told me that I began carrying a book around with me everywhere I went from the age of 3.

Flash forward to today. My boyfriend often questions me on why I must bring a book with me to do one or two simple errands or get food. Hey, it's my pet subject of the...

"If Cody says not to psychoanalyze your friends, don't listen to him. You can psychoanalyze my black ass."

Why do people always think we're analysts? That's only one specialty, and an outdated one at that. Fuck rumination.
