the good therapist
patient: i want to be a fat loud person. pig faced brute of a human being
therapist: i see....goals are very important, can give so much direction to life
patient: when they finally cremate me at the end of life i want to make the biggest grease fire history has ever seen. i'd mainline cheeseburgers directly to my heart but i don't know how, can you help me?
therapist: (bends forward and takes patients hands) i've seen so many people do what seemed impossible and it always starts with will, which you have, i think together we can do it.
patient: thank you
therapist: how are you working on this goal?
patient: I sit on the couch and eat all day
therapist: getting any exercise?
patient: i walk to the fridge
therapist: that concerns me, that you are getting too much exercise. Is it possible to move the fridge next to the couch?
patient: i'll do that when i get home! thank you!
therapist: sure its what i'm here for. Any other goals you have?
patient: its something i've seen other people do, i don't know
therapist: go on...
patient: i've seen people that could just drone on talking, who could make listeners eyes glaze over and sometimes even go cross eyed. i even saw one woman who just prattled on so completely senselessly while oblivious to the suffering of her listener that the guy killed himself to escape her. She never even noticed, even when they took the body away. i want to be like her.
therapist: its a common skill, although it will take work to achieve that level of greatness that you mentioned, i believe its something we can work towards.
patient: thank you for everything
therapist: i'll see you next week and we can begin on these goals
big hug.
