DO NOT TELL THE TRUTH! I REPEAT...DO NOT TELL THE TRUTH! to your therapist and/or psychiatrist. DO NOT LET THEM SEE THE REAL YOU...not even for a split second. i can not stress enough the importance of these two things.
i realize that if you are reading my blog it is likely that you are at the very least half as looney as the author. So in the spirit of social responsibility I thought it my duty to share with you some of my mistakes along the road to psychoanalytical success and the attainment of the golden thearaputic prize....the prescription.
telling your psych/therapist that you want to plunge an icepick into their eye is not a good idea. no, they will do not understand you are just trying to get a point across and didn't even bring your icepick to the session. (note to self...pack icepick for therapy today)
should your phone ring during a therapy session DO NOT answer it and scream into the receiver...DIE MOTHERF*&R! DIE!
when asked about any fantasies you may be having lately(psychs are the biggest pervs) DO NOT be honest and tell them every night last week was spent in the Village stalking Ethan Hawk in the hopes of kidnapping him and chaining him to your wall where you would have your way with him for the next 3 months. docs just don't understand these things.
when asked if you have taken their advice about doing something relaxing before bed...say "yes" ..when they ask what you did..say "Knitting"..DO NOT let them know the murder scene in your favorite movie soothes you to sleep.
speaking about movies...DO NOT..tell them you can identify with the main charater in American Psycho! (that is a real important one.)
when asked what your thinking about right at the moment....(they ask this everytime they realize you have stopped listening) do not tell them your thoughts are alternating between imagining them spontaneously bursting into flames and fucking Brad Pitt and Robert Redford at the same time next to a cozy fire.
do not tell them you would rather shove hot burning coals in your open eyes than listen to their mindless babbling for another second. this will get you a "suicidal tendencies" notation in your chart..
in a nutshell...LIE YOUR ASS OFF. Do not make the fatal mistake i made in being open and honest. honesty has no place in psychoanalysis.
the sole duty of your psych is to push your buttons or more crassly put...piss you off. do not at any time make them aware that they are gaining ground.
do not be lulled into a false sense of security. they are tricky bastards. the whole soft speaking voice, understanding smile and look of genuine interest has been fine tuned over many years of training. it is all a mask. it is how they trap you. not looking at them helps. every time you feel like glancing over at them...think medusa.
i hope this might have helped some of you. as i learn more i will share more..for right now i am running late for a session and still have to pack my icepick..wish me luck.
