There's a lot of room for some fun at "Mona's weekly therapy session". Mona seems like the sort of person that would make a concerted effort to leave a therapist the worse for wear. Which isn't entirely unfair. My own experience with "therapists" suggests that they could cheaply and efficiently be replaced with walnut trees.

I'm given to understand that therapists just guilt trip you into believing that you're a horrible person responsible for everyone else's misery to shape you into a conformist lemming. At least, that's the impression I've gotten from anyone who has ever been to therapy.

That's not an inaccurate assessment.
A therapist's job is to "normalize" you so that you don't clash with your surroundings. The actual technique involved depends on the particular school pf psychology to which the individual headshrinker has subscribed, but they all proceed from a common first assumption: YOU are the problem.
Therefore any suggestion that you are not, in fact, broken, is counterproductive.
What's fun is that therapists tend to have a lot of simplistic preconceptions that make it easy to mess with their heads... first you play along, then veer off radically on a tangent they weren't expecting.

:DLOL- great way for Mona to start off her therapy. i laughed out loud- and am seriously looking forward to her sessions. i love how you created a therapist who on the outside is the complete antithesis of Mona- it should make for hilarious clashes- though in the end i'm sure it'll run deeper.

We both say that the therapist tries to conform you to the rest of society's often times insane demands because you're the flawed thing.

Palliard said that yours was NOT and INaccurate assessment, meaning an accurate one. Double negative, you see
