If your muse was in therapy, what would they be in therapy for?
I am in therapy. But not for anything wrong with me.
I'm in therapy because of everything wrong with the rest of the human race.
If people had any common sense, decorum, restraint, education, proper grammar, fashion sense, humility, or a whole list of things I could point out, I wouldn't need to be in therapy. Then we would all be functional human beings and the world would be a better place. But they don't, and we're not, and it isn't. So I see a therapist twice a month.
Don't get me wrong. Dr. Dennington is a very professional and intelligent woman who knows most of what she's talking about. I have no complaints about my therapist, except for that she spends too much time listening to other people about my life. Yet the institution of therapy isn't one that I engage in for leisure. I'm only there to find a way to get through the day. And because it makes everyone around me feel better. I'm not going to be sitting there with a compulsive need to perfectly arrange the couch cushions. I'm taking notes.
Yes, that's right. I take notes during my own therapy sessions. You have a problem with that?
I'm not in therapy for me.
