In today’s society, funny tweets about therapy showcase just how accepted the treatment has become by people. Over time, the stigma of therapy has disappeared as its benefits have become much more visible. While funny therapy memes focus more on the images, tweets are more personal. However, there is a thin line with tweets like these. Medical tweets that are funny have to be careful in their delivery of the punchline.
Therapy tweets focus on the relationship between the doctor and the patient. Funny tweets that focus on therapy showcase the better aspects of the doctor-patient relationship. When it comes to tweets like these, they usually touch upon the positive side of mental treatment. Relatable tweets like these encourage people to seek help and visit a therapist. There is nothing wrong in doing that, and tweets about it prove it.
To some people, therapy might seem scary due to the pressure that society can create. To the rescue come some of the funniest tweets on Twitter. They can be both helpful and funny — a rare combination. Below, we compiled some of the best tweets, so be sure to upvote the tweets you found to be funny. On the other hand, if you have a story about therapy to share, do so with a comment below.

I had someone in my life tell me I was the problem over and over. So I started going to therapists. By like the 6th one that told me something along the lines of "we need to figure out a way to extract you from this relationship because you are in an unsafe situation" I finally listened. He then told me that the therapists were the problem. Right..
Good therapists don't tell their patients what to do with big life decisions like that, not straight out anyways. This happened with my ex. He complained about me so much that the therapist convinced him he shouldn't be with me. Turns out, everything he complained/accused me of was stuff he was doing to me or a straight up lie.
Damn. I wish I saw my therapist before I left my ex now! Haha. Yeah feel a little bad that I am jealous
I am not a licensed therapist ,but sometimes it's best to break things!
When my mom got cancer we bought ceramic plates for her to smash .

And the therapist probably had good reason... And I'm betting you're much better off now
Don't be hard on yourself. It's not stealing. You'll be recycling.
Load More Replies...Here’s the trick ~ ask your therapist who their therapist is/was. Then go to them and do the same. Keep going until you find the final boss therapist who solved their own problem. Maybe they can help you.
You know you might have serious trouble/issues when the great grand therapist is mentioned
keep going up the chain and soon you will find the grandest therapist
My friend said the same thing 😬- but she attends therapy now, so I want to support her.
I can find almost anybody's funny. That's simple .lbeep boob beep boop. .I am not a robot.
One of my fondest memories is making my stoic therapist double-over with laughter
What does this say about me? I've made my therapist cry at least twice
I'm doing sooo incredibly right now, like, I don't even believe it myself
Load More Replies...Had a talk with my psychiatrist (prescribes my meds) and she asked about my wanting to kms and I just said I have to keep my mind focused on anything else to block them out and I hate trying to sleep because then they run rampant. She changed up my meds and made sure I was still seeing my therapist. Apparently they only do the involuntary thing if you already have a plan. Or that's what mine said when I voiced my concern
My grandparents had one of these and the mechanism that made the shapes pop out always went off after 5 seconds.
Every single time it would make me jump... Even thought I knew it was coming cause it ticked faster
It was rigged. My sister and I tried together to complete it and couldn't. I'm pretty sure this game was the cause of my fear of jumpscares
Load More Replies...Oh I forgot about this game...made from the devil himself! I now need to go see my therapist due to all the anxiety and rage from the memories of playing this 🤦♀️
For me it's more about making sure my parents don't get hospitalized. I was in therapy because of them, and there's a lot of stuff I didn't tell my old therapist because I was afraid stuff would get twisted and she would think I wasn't safe or something. Sometimes it's hard to explain stuff exactly how it happened and if you leave out just one important detail it can seem like you said something entirely different than what you actually meant. Hopefully getting a new therapist soon, and I'm going to try to be more honest with them, but we'll see how it goes.
finally starting to be honest with my therapist after a year of therapy. i spent the last year trying to fix all the problems with my friends and now i'm finally working on myself
I think I need to do this. Kinda feel bad for whoever my new therapist will be lol
bro i need that it takes over two hours to explain everything and that's just the short version of it
I'll try this with my new therapist, he might add it to my list of problems, but that's his problem. Lol
I should do this. My latest therapist said I was very cavalier about my trauma. I responded that after going through the 5-minute Cliff notes version with six different therapists you kind of get numb.
I did something like this, once (it was a binder). The therapist read half of it, started crying, left, and never returned.
Kinda feel like I just need to do this for the rare occasions I meet new people but also as my ice breaker for dating...NOPE actually thank you so much for my new dating profile content 🤣
How do you find the boss of José Cuervo and Don Julio?!?! Asking for a friend...🤔
Nah, they seem pretty good with both. Well in my brief experience.
It is the same, yeah. 1. is gossip about others and second is about you. It's all tea HAHA.
Load More Replies...I literally watched my therapist energetically cleanse herself of my .. everything .. once while I was leaving her office. She was so embarrassed that I saw her, but i I was like 'oh, I totally get that! Smart!!'
My friend’s therapist keeps cancelling on him. We always joke that my friend’s PTSD is giving therapist PTSD.
“They don’t think it be like it is, but it do.” -Oscar Gamble
Load More Replies...I hate when professionals use the collective "we". It sounds so condescendingly parental.
No joke, I just started work as a CMA and we have depression screenings we do with patients on depression medication, anyway one of the questions is " do you think of suicide, or feel you would be better off dead?" And about 20 percent of patients said yes but the rest said no. So I asked the provider what does he do when we knows their lying... he looked at me like I had three heads and told me most people don't think about that. Being skeptical I asked my husband and he was scared for me... turns out that isn't something "everyone " does.
You mean there are people in this world who do not have a panic attack by a phone ringing😳😳😳
So... Tell me! Describe panic attacks!!! *Heavy breathing* please?
I’ve definitely felt this way!! I mean I know that I’m not good without Christ, but I have also felt that God couldn’t possibly care and other people shouldn’t because he doesn’t. Thankfully, none of that is true, but I am grateful the people in my life do care about me and want the best for me as I do for them!
😱🤬😤 DITCH ANY therapist who question love for cats!!!!!!! F**K OFF stupid therapist!!! 🖕🖕🖕
Yall if I became a therapist I’d be like “so have you considered getting a cat”
Load More Replies...Don't question the love for the cat...she slapped you so you're remember she's there for you.
Just saying "b!tch I'm here for you, now where is my food, I'm hungry"
Load More Replies...You can take my cats when you pry them off my cold , somewhat chewed on, dead body.
my therapist switched over to a new platform and now i get a discount cause i stayed with her
I might invent small issues or overplay realizations so my therapist can feel accomplished they helped me with something, even if the big things still suck. Plus then I get praise, which is nice/unnerving.
I like to have the last appointment on Fridays. That way, she has something to look forward to!
I gave mine free passes to the zoo and then my next session was ?s about how I am so positive with the bad word ppl that I had to deal with everyday. (The adults that would visit the zoo)
It seems more like a circle of therapy. Therapist A sees Therapist B. Therapist B sees Therapist R and Therapist R sees Therapist A. Unless Therapist A is junior under mentorship, and there are likely to be many more steps between just the three of them.
........no.......there is an ultimate godmode one...c'mon....super boss.

St. Thomas Aquinas would refer to this as the first untherapized therapist
Big fleas have little fleas who sit on their backs and bite 'em. The little fleas have littler fleas, and so on ad infinitum.
And can I book a few sessions with this high level counsellor .. please??
"I've seen your life and I'm not impressed" for any Bob's Burger's fans.
I've found you can always make things sound much more dramatic by saying "I'm in therapy for a reason." I am, in fact, in therapy for a reason, it just has nothing to do with anything I just told you.
Isn’t that a reverse power move? Like, you’re literally informing someone that they have a timeshare in your mind. That gives them the power.
But... you're going through the lengthy process of evicting them. You have valid reasons to kick them out, but the red tape is a beetch.
Load More Replies...Brilliant! I motion we go to prize boxes in all aspects of life...oh you adulted today pick a prize, you went out in public today pick a prize, you actually cleaned up and got out of your oversized PJs for said adventure into the world of the public pick 2 prizes, you didnt kill anyone while on your adventure, im so proudof you take 5 prizes....yeah for sure life goals
i always wanted to ask my therapist if she talks about me to another client, like not specifically but in this way
You ever complain to your therapist about something and they’re like those are normal human emotions you’re not alone and you’re like damn I thought i was special
I always wanna ask ‘’how deeply broken am I’’ I know more than my brother but like…
Oh no...something to also discuss with the therapist, they're understand.
My brain-tightener (term coined by my Dad for any mental health professional) does this to me all the time. She laughs her a** off at stuff I say and then informs me I'm using humor to "DeFlEcT mY pAiN aNd TrAuMa"
i mean all 3 of the therapists i have had have noticed and said this exact thing.
Can't take the chance, next time say some code words and see if anything happends...tango...foxtrot...alpha...go go go.
Alpha, delta, garlic gold block Garglesplot.its not here.
Load More Replies...Most therapists assume your psychotic or paranoid,or whatever.its ok so are we.
my therapist said to me "I don't know how you do, with all the things you have lived, to keep going and smile like you do". And damn that was the recognition I wanted.
Mine did ,too. It was an affirmation that the šhitshow I thought I was overreacting to was an actual šhitshow.
Load More Replies...Mine said 'I have a gentle cry response so don't take it personally, please continue! But honestly after her bawling through a dozen sessions I just felt bad for her!
I actually had my therapist tell me I should just go live in the woods by myself!!
Probably someone who was stressed and was like, damn, there should be a doctor for this.
While Freud represents an often-cited, prominent name in psychology, Viennese physician Franz Mesmer is considered the “Father of Western Psychotherapy.” He pioneered hypnotherapy in the 1700s to treat psychosomatic problems and other disorders.
Unfortunately, Freud. Then a bunch of other people came along and said this is bullsh*t and gave us what we know today
It’s like if someone hesitates or doesn’t talk to me when they get the chance they clearly don’t like me and I have to respect that because I don’t want to push boundaries or seem like I get emotionally attached and you never actually know how much someone hates you and what if they’re trying to hint it to you but your too stupid to understand social cues so you would miss is so anything that happens you try to pay attention and look at the possibilities and usually it’s that they don’t like you, right?
It’s not unless you’re my cat or my friends
Load More Replies...i tell my friends that my therapist knows about them lol and they get scared
Oh honey they all know about this transplanted demon from hell 🤣🥳
All of my friends have therapists so I’m always like DO YOH TALK TO YOUR THERAPIST ABOUT ME :D And they say no I talk about my PTSD smh
Don't know who needs to [see] this but, someone's therapist knows about you[.] Sorry, grammar and spelling are my pet peeves.
I love this. My ex-friend sent me a really rude text, I wanted to just edit it and send it back lmao
Load More Replies...I’ll just keep all of my emotions inside of me, and one day, I’ll die. (A quote by John Mulaney my friend used to describe me)
Until I need more therapy after going beast mode on the hot water heater for failing after 3 minutes with no warnings. One minute burning my skin off the next straight ice.
Yup. I was spent most of an entire session talking about new music discoveries I was making. Although now that I think about it, my therapist took quite a lot of notes, and there's no way all of them were band names...
Load More Replies...sometimes things are so bad and i don't wanna tell my therapist bc i dont want to go to the mental hospital so i just nerd out.
I really see nothing wrong here... Id carry a bag of shredded cheese in my jean pockets if wouldn't get all squished
Moments like this, I realize how ungrateful I am for having insurance
Nobody puts Baby bell in a corner! You Gouda respect the shred or the shred will disrespect you... What did Pepper say to Jack?? Paint me like one of your French girls, Jack it's so hot but I'll never let you go *jack slowly sliding off the bread into the sizzling hot pan*
I've heard cheddar used as a slang term for money. Never thought anyone would do it literally.
Friendly PSA: If you are even the slightest bit claustrophobic stay away from weighted blankets. They seem like a good idea...until the panic attack starts.
Or are menopausal and suffer from night sweats
Load More Replies...They are amazing. And if you get the ones filled with glass beads and combine it with a heated blanket it is serendipitous.
Nah....really? If that's true...give me second while I call my therapist.
Wait, I thought that was normal? What else have I been doing wrong in my attempts to appear human?
False! How else would I be able to properly prepare for saving my wife from battling a Klingon on Andor?
It also might just mean you have a strong imagination. It’s only a sign of mental illness when making those scenarios causes distress
This makes a lot of sense. Like, a fake debate with witty comebacks is okay, but imagining a scenario where one of my parents dies and I don’t know how to cope is… not.
Load More Replies...But isn't the whole concept of therapy just a giant scenario of "normal" made up by the therapist...🤔
My old therapist used to do this. She was always so nice and understanding when I forgot that it made me feel horribly guilty...
Mine gave me flash cards to help reframe catastrophic thoughts. It worked.
Lol. You're just like your father! Oh wait, no, it went through. You're doing great.
ITS NOT THAT EASY YOU CANT JUST CHANGE WHEN SOMEONE SAYS SO
Yeah, you get to pretend you're someone else who doesn't have the same problems as you.
Sometime jut giving people the answers doesn't work cause they don't listen. They must make the connection themselves.
True. And sometimes it's the number of sessions the insurance will authorize.
Load More Replies...I'm not a therapy friend; I'm just the person who people keep randomly messaging at 10pm because they're upset about something and then I spend the next two hours helping to talk them through it with a sympathetic non-judgemental active listening approach and oh goddammit.
Because "The Lunch Club" sounds lame and they didnt do any dinners together.
Exercise ? .... not even if I'm being chased by a spider-clown-chainsaw holding maniac
Where can I get a spider-clown-chainsaw to wield?
Load More Replies...Must have been quite a dry spell if all you needed to perk up was a little Peter
Therapists need help too. Also being relatable can help.
This is really random but you ever feel like you’re going to die from a panic attack and then your therapist says it’s normal. Like dude the emotions and intensity of that was wack, why the hell am I Not some crazy protagonist in a movie
I felt like I was gonna die after a panic attack this morning 👍
Load More Replies...I read therapist wrong, it's a completely different word when it has a space after the e.
From what I've seen across the internet we're supposed to be reserved, loyal and difficult to gain trust.
Also can be bossy and controlling (I am one, but as unbossy as possible. Don't put me in charge of anything!!)

sry about that girl that really has gotta suck im a good listener if u wanna vent

Long Island medium. I'd know her nails anywhere. Also those pens were pretty popular in the early aughts (2000-2009) so I'd say it was taken roughly around then.

I had therapy and then a date with my husband on Valentine's I felt like I won the lottery
My girlfriend had a therapist once,and i always came with her meeting the therapist. And i always ended up talking a lot about stuff to the therapist. Eventually,i was the one who got consulted to. The therapist quit because she gave up on us tho. She said me and my gf can't be helped because we're so apathetic. She almost cried when saying that. Man,i felt sorry for her.
A psychologist at school told me that I need to start therapy. I may or may not get it soon. Is there any advice you Pandas have for me?
It'll take a few tries to find the right one. If you don't feel like you can trust the first person it is okay to move on to another one.

It's called a bff with their head screwed on straight who's known you for a while.
