What Therapists Are Thinking

An illustrated survey from NYT, What Your Therapist Isn’t Telling You. A few samples:

“ ‘I need to pee so bad.’ Clients don’t realize that we have five minutes between sessions and sometimes making it to the bathroom is not possible.”— Jessa White, L.M.H.C.A.

“ ‘What is her husband’s name again?’ I’m terrible at remembering names no matter how hard I try.”— Jenn Hardy, Ph.D.

“ ‘I suck as a therapist right now.’ ”— Shani Tran, L.P.C.C., L.P.C.
