Every time I go to a school meeting they advise me to get some therapy.
I think they are trying to be nice about all the crap we have DEALT with over the last few years but I also think they are talking crap.

It may suit some but not everyone.

Interesting...

So, tell me, did your father have a sense of humour?

Do you think this could be why you experience difficulty with humour?

Lichen replacement therapy required, I think. Or perhaps school failure low self-esteem therapy? or no, I have it - GO TO BED IT'S PAST YOUR BEDTIME therapy. There. No Easter eggs for you.

Oh, American. No wonder it's so common and overdone.

Hmm

So American? Yes, that's right, I forgot. Freud was an American. So was Jung.

Therapy = fabulous if needed.

Americans = fabulous in any case. :o

We used basic common sense....and listened to our family and friends.

I'm sure there are some specialist therapists that do a good job...but often people pay thru the nose to have someone sit on a chair, nod their heads occasionally and offer very little in the way of advice!

I know, let's derail this completely and make it 'Complete the following sentence: AIBU to wonder how the fck we managed without...'

My submission is

(to wonder how the fck we managed without) dentistry

16.50 for a check up isn't exorbitant...and if you don't need treatment, that's it...you're done for 6 months.

Therapy on the other hand IS very expensive and (from what I gather) you're often given a session of visits (could be wrong here) and may or may not get very much from those visits.

I've never had therapy and therefore cannot provide useful comment.
