The Buckets by Greg Cravens for February 18, 2021

Like I’m seeing a therapist squared!

I thought going through therapy was generally a requirement for becoming a therapist, at least for “talk therapists.” It was common knowledge when I was young that to be a psychoanalyst you had to go through psychoanalysis. That might even be true.

They’re discussing you, Bucket!

Many therapists have to see other therapists, they get PTSD from listening to their patients.

“You’re seeing a therapist? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?”

I’d say I was doing my job properly.

“It’s Therapists all the way down!”

If I went to a therapist and they weren’t already seeing someone, they would have to start

My dad was a counseling psychologist. Quite a few of his clients were also psychologists.

Like he needs it.

we all can use some help fvrom time to time even therapists. i’m sure hearing the things their clients tell them can effect them in certain ways and they then need someone to vent too.

Therapy isn’t to fix what’s wrong with you like a surgeon might fix a broken bone. A therapist is more like a trainer at a gym, trying to help you reach your goals and be the best you can be.
