Words of Therapy.

For those amongst you who’re not knowledgeable about therapy I though I’d explain some technical terms, it being world ‘Boy do You need Help’ day.

1-     Congruence- believing what you think is true so you have every right to express it.
2-     Empathy- being attuned to someone so well you begin to know what they’re thinking.
3-     Unconditional Positive Regard- feeling the same warm glow of superiority that one gets with little children.
4-     Spontaneity- swearing when you feel like it.
5-     Obsessive Compulsive Disorder- stop wiping your arse while I’m talking to you.
6-     Cognition- what we do when we’re not at a football match.
7-     Self worth- what you don’t have when we lose because of your own goal.
8-     Oedipus Complex- Yes it’s true, you would shag anyone.
9-     Csíkszentmihályi’s Flow- a well earned snooze.
10-Passive aggressive- a term used by belligerent people when the other person won’t elevate a minor conflict into a fistfight.
11-Tourette’s syndrome- Have you ever thought of doing stand-up?
12-Person Centred- for therapists who desire approval
13-Gestalt- for therapists who don’t desire approval
14-Neuro Linguistic Programming- Approval not necessary, I’m just as dumb as you are.
