How to start a blog
I went to go see a therapist yesterday, that was an interesting experience. I actually learnt a few things about myself.
First of all I like to talk about myself. A lot. As long as you are asking the right questions you can get me to say almost anything. Which is strange because people worry about the fact that I don't share enough. Maybe they are not asking the right question.
I like to talk. most of the time it's just that I have not been given the opportunity to talk. "Does that make sense, of course it does"
Any way.
I did not know what to expect. My only knowledge of therapy comes from TV shows and Movies. Therefore prior to entering the room, I imagined what I though the room would look like.
My Ideal therapy room Vs what I actually experienced
- A long couch that I as the client would lie on ( The room had too chairs facing each other. It felt like an interview)
- Framed academic achievements of the therapist (I don't actually remember anything on her walls. One of the walls was made of glass)
- Light music praying in the background (There was music in the waiting room, which was actually really annoying. I was happy to not have it in the actual therapy room)
- Tissues (She had those. The were soft but not very absorbent)
- A bin for tissue (She did not have a bin in sight!, I had to carry a pockets full of used tissues.)
- A bookshelf full of books (There were a lot of closed drawers. It was very mysterious)
- A rug on the floor between the therapist and the client (There was a table between us. Kinda made the whole experience feel distant)
- A jug of water with disposable cups ( there was no water)
Mmm
I also took part in a leadership program. It is definitely not what I expected. I like this image below tho.
