40 Funny Memes That Convey What Your Therapist Would Never Tell You About The Job

That's pretty much the story of how college calculus class turned me into a poli sci major. 😂

Thats what the HUMAN FUND is for: money for people

that's so wholesome!

As a teacher-- yes. Most recently i asked a new kid at the school what his name was and he told me but then he launched into a story about how his dad died traumatically when he was 4 and his mom changed his name to his dad's name in honor of him and then before I could recover or respond he ran off to play on the monkey bars.

Real

Everyone in the history of time: Be yourself! (* as long as yourself doesn't offend my personal beliefs or sensibilities. Also, we don't like that you are into the things you're into or what you're wearing so we'll shun you, assume you're a bad person because you don't fit in, and if you don't conform to the majority you will be rejected from opportunities given to those who do. Also, you'd better be attractive because otherwise it's been proven that you will be treated more harshly than better looking people who fit a universal standard of beauty.)

"Not otherwise specified"

They're not wrong

"I'm going to start with a gentle disclaimer in the hopes that I can slip this information past your defense mechanisms..."

I feel like that might be how it’s supposed to work, but maybe I just read Captain Awkward too much.

I've found that asking/telling someone not to do something you are bothered by is the surest way to get them to NEVER *EVER* STOP DOING IT. And, if at all possible, do it more often.

My therapist refers to "emotional sunburns." It's accurate, but annoying.

Has anyone in therapy actually actually taken a Rorschach test? I never did. I was in therapy most of my childhood and never got the inkblots once. Pretty sure it was something they just quit bothering with in the 80s.

Same (sad face) Same...

That seems to be greatly apparent in your past interactions with me

Kinda how it is when I hang out with my friend

My daughter after 2 years of therapy now wants to be a therapist

🤣🤣🤣

Parkour!

The awkward smile

Well…. It’s like this

My boundary with service providers is that they can be any or all of those things when they’re off the job, but I will give them as much attention as they give to me when I’m not paying them, not because I’m trying to be mean but because - and this may come as a shock - my job is hard and tiring too and I’m not able to spend all of my free time being a listening ear for strangers on the internet either.

Millenial here, I speak a little Gen Z, our languages are distantly related. I think this is what it says: "I straight-up dodged them when they started bothering me, no lie"

I bet some therapists would really love to meet the ‘problem’ of their clients. You know, just for scientific purposes. Definitely not to ✨accidentally✨ club them over the head with a baseball bat.

Ahaha Sue Silvester 🤣 She's in the series called Glee and is literally the best character

same feeling - i'm a teacher

They are proud of you.

If the therapist thinks it fits the moment and the client can't handle it, it's time for a referral. The therapy shouldn't be hamstrung by a difference in language preferences.

that kid, milk out me nose

I googled this so you don't have to: "The Oedipus complex is named for the Greek myth of Oedipus, a Theban king who unwittingly killed his father and married his mother. Sigmund Freud used the myth as a parallel to his theory that children are attracted to their opposite-sex parent and feel hatred toward their same-sex parent." If I had to read that, so do you. Nowhere near accurate imo, and I feel bad for his parents.

Where's the square pants?

The second image is a consequence of the first.

Every. Single. Time.

I said very angrily that if I ever meet my abuser again it will end in a morgue and the therapist said: all right, the time is up.

I miss Chris Pine's 45 year old Karen stage.

Their objectives. Not necessarily their needs...

All the time

i see froggy, i upvote

I once spent 3 sessions pouring out my background story to a therapist. She sat there so glassy-eyed, I asked what was wrong. She said that her husband had died just before I started seeing her and that HER therapist said she should keep working, to cope with her grief. She had not heard a single word I'd ever spoken. I told her she needed a new therapist and to please give herself time to grieve. I hope she did.

That’s basically the same as the Translator Barbie self care items except I have a grudge against both Amazon and Netflix so I just have a pile of Air Crash Investigation DVDs.

And somewhere out there, there’s a therapist in a nice top and makeup saying “ok but have you considered that introversion is fake?” (Yes, this really happened to me.)

LMAO YESS if i ever become a therapist i am DEFINITELY doing this for each of my clients

Do as I say, not as I do

Cannabitiol? (HHOK, I know it means "Cathode Boob Tube.")

"Tell me how that worked out for you .."

Cluedo!!! The start of so many family arguments

Translation?

Just give me my license now

My daughter down to once every three weeks, keeping track on her phone of all the things she wants to say next time!

That's me trying to understand what my Gen z coworkers are saying to me during casual conversations.

What even is the point of therapy, then? It's just a waste of time and paying an arrogant ahole who thinks he can judge others. It's so stupid and I'm angry I tried it. All the specialists only made me feel worse.

"All right, let's unpack that. When you're sitting here with me right now, how does that make you feel? What is your inner voice telling you about being here?"

Nah that’s the friend group therapist 😂

It’s about the licensing. Also, shut up Meg

Fair :)

So you’re cuter in person than in your pfp?

Looks like I picked the wrong decade to quit drinking. 😂

At first I read neighbor meowing-

That's a good hand!

the hands...

Love therapists like this!

Real question: at what point do therapists cut off abusive clients?
