Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for October 20, 2022

with a sprinkle of insults, I believe?

See, here’s you problem, Aunty. A therapist doesn’t tell you your problem, but rather helps you on your journey of self-discovery.

But you can’t help them work on it.

You don’t have to tell me. I already know what’s wrong with me.

What’s more important is WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU!

It would be unfortunate to say the least if a therapist had his advertising so badly designed that his title seemed made into two words instead of just one — unless he worked in Sports. In which case it might be just truth-in-advertising.

i’ve already got a wife who does that…

Most folks don’t go to a therapist to be told what is "wrong"with them, they’ve already figured out something is “wrong”; they go to learn how to adjust, cope and otherwise deal with or manage the problems and the effects of the problems. I’ve a very good friend who sees a therapist regularly to cope with the the depression associated with advanced MS, and another coping with PTSD. I’m glad they go.

“Everyone’s entitled to MY opinion.” OR “Opinions are like belly buttons—everybody has one.”

Spoken like a true busybody.

Now see that’s what wrong with you, all cause and no cure.

My housemate can find the thin straw in my eye, but can’t see the chop stick in theirs.

…and another thing…
