*Running my therapy session like talk radio* Me: So, Fred from Naperville says he's feeling his mortality lately and doesn't know how to process it. What do you say, Dr. Eric? Dr. Eric: This is highly inappropriate.

Update: Dr. Eric thought this was funny but then asked me if I joke online about this sort of thing as a means of minimizing my own anxieties. So I told him about that old tweet in which someone says "this totally owns" about awful things happening and I think I totally played myself by doing so.

back when I was in therapy I mentioned (pre-Elon) Twitter in passing and quickly pivoted away, I could hear it backfiring in real time

"Minimize them from where to where, exactly?" probably works in this scenario. Feel free to borrow it for next time.

Basically, I'm like 0-112 at therapy. Just constantly taking Ls.

I would have said that I'm too anxious to minimize my own anxieties.

Can you be, like, my online therapy lawyer? Like you log in with me to my sessions and explain to him when I'm deflecting and transferring vs. when I'm just being a regular internet-poisoned person?

There you have it, folks, Dr Eric says feelings of mortality are "highly inappropriate" and I guess Fred should learn to bottle everything up like the rest of us.
