When the digital landscape is saturated with memes, some of them are bound to be painfully relatable. In fact, they can be so accurate, they might even transport you into the world of therapy where you get to poke fun at the not-so-bright moments of your life. As these light-hearted internet artifacts can speak to any emotion, they can even make you feel like lying on a Freud-esque leather couch yourself, quietly nodding to everything you see in agreement.

Therapy is a wonderful thing that everyone should consider trying out at least once in their lives, whether you're currently fighting your own mental health battles or not. But at the same time, it can also be quite funny. So to show you that humor is the best medicine and one of the best tools to cope with drama and trauma, we welcome you to a safe space to talk about hard things, otherwise known as the 'Freud Intensifies' Instagram account.

This social media project is dedicated to sharing absurdly funny and spot-on memes that might give you something to discuss for your next session. Or at least laugh about it together with your therapist. We've gathered some of the best pics from their feed, so continue scrolling, be sure to upvote the ones that make you feel seen, and share it with anyone who might need a bit of a boost! Then don't miss the chat we had about the stigma of therapy with clinical psychologist Joshua Klapow, Ph.D.

    I live with someone who will be shown proof I am right and then say " well, you can't always believe everything you read on the internet." Every time. He is a nightmare to live with. If I had a decent support system for me and my disabled son I would have been gone years ago.

    I find the humor funny, but this movie(s) really did some damage in terms of how DID was shown. Spent months on Quora answering the same questions about DID, over and over. Plus, myself and others had to explain to people in our lives the differences as well.

    Tattoo artists are actually amazingly good listeners. Last time I was at the local parlour one guy was getting some text put on his wrists, which turned out to be in his wife's handwriting - and she had recently died in a car accident (he had some recent injuries on his hands, so I suspect he was in the car with her). His tattooist was incredibly kind and caring toward him, and when the poor man started crying he hugged him. (Hell, I myself was there getting a memorial tattoo of my dead dog, and everyone working there was super nice about it and talked about their own pets).

    I fully agree with this. done it twice. once because I wasn't getting proper therapy and it burned all manner of bridges, but it made me on a path to betterment. Then again, intentionally, because I was in therapy and I don't have a verbal filter anymore. it all sorta just... comes out.
