Are you friends with your therapist?

Is that even allowed?… I always wonder, if my therapist weren't my therapist, would we be friends? I truly don't know. I mean, she's totally different than me. She has a family and lives in the suburbs. Meanwhile, I live in NYC and go out way too much… Yeah, that's as far as I'm going to think on that. I guess we'll never know. What I do know is that she would appreciate the memes. It's important to have a therapist who shares your humor or at least understands your humor. How can you heal yourself if you can't laugh and experience any joy along the way? That sounds torturous. The inner healing journey is hard, but it doesn't have to be traumatizing. It can have laughter and memes! Just check out these bad boys below, you'll see.

  • Are you just now discovering the healing power of memes or did you always know? Maybe you always knew deep down but are only now just realizing it. Memes can be a powerful tool for your mental health. Haven't you ever noticed that the most fire memes are created when you are at your lowest? Or you become the meme queen/king in the friend group chat when you're really going through it. That's because you choose memes instead of choosing violence. That is progress, bestie! You're doing great. Here are some more memes for your dream journal.

  • Have you ever shared memes with your therapist before? It's, honestly, a lovely time. They LOL, and you two bond. Sure, they might use that meme to analyze you afterwards, but like, isn't that the whole point? You're just one meme away from having an epiphany, bestie! 

    Oh, wait, what??? You don't have a therapist?? You don't go to therapy? In this economy?? You are crazy for that. And don't give me that, “I can't afford it.” One Google search, and you can find some free ones. When I was in college, I used to go for free because I was getting therapy from the students studying to be therapists. Was it the best therapy I've ever gotten? No. Definitely not. But you live and you learn and that's what life is all about, baby.
