Two weeks ago, I realized we went from eight guinea hens to six. And then four. I investigated and found feather piles, and tracked the forensic evidence back to the hood where the perpetrator lived. I bought two 48"x 18" traps and put stinky wet cat food inside. This criminal could not resist. This is a Red state, so instead of apologizing to him and electing him to a position of political power, I shot him in the face. And then burned his corpse on a pile of trash. Are you willing to do what is necessary, anon?

It pains me to know that the belief is that a therapist role is to "validate". I do not validate. If you are with me in a clinical setting and what you're saying doesn't make any damn sense, I'm going to have you walk me through it. What I've discovered is that a lot of the dysfunction people have is that they've never articulated their beliefs and so have no idea how absurd they are. Simply going through the exercise of having to explain yourself can be deeply rewarding. It's something we call "accountability". You literally account for yourself. Sure, I've had some female clients chimp out and flee never to be seen again at their first contact with a mirror. I've had many others weep openly that actually being held psychologically. One I will never get out of my mind was a wonderful 30-something year old woman who cried and said, "I have been in therapy for 7 years. Why has nobody ever challenged me and help me see that I'm the one causing all this shit?" That's an important question. And it's crucial that if you see a therapist, you don't see a charlatan. You can tell the good ones by their headgear.
