Sympathy therapy

Verbally expressing sympathy in an exaggerated way in order to make the sufferer laugh but also realize that whining doesn’t help.

I’m SO sorry you’re going through this! NO one understands the pain you’re in and the obstacles you face! You seriously have it worse right now than anyone else in the world! Is this sympathy therapy working yet?

scream therapy

A controversial health-improvement regimen of unproven worth/efficacy that entails either:
1. Yelling at everyone around you to help decrease your own level of stress (naturally, this practice drastically **increases** these other hapless mortals' OWN stress-levels, but this is for medical purposes, so those folks' feelings and emotions don't matter during this period, right? Right???)
2. Watching one or more Kevin Williamson flicks to remind yourself of how bad things *could* be, letting you feel better that you aren't involved in "extreme" situations like that.

I'm not much for scream therapy; whenever I feel wound up, I just go down to the local marina and sit on the dock to watch the peaceful waves rolling in and softly lapping the shore... relieves my jangled nerves every time.

scream therapy

Scream therapy is when you are home alone and you need to scream to feel better

Amanda: Last night I totally used scream therapy
Hannah: OMG I did too! It totally helped calm me down

skimmer therapy

Floating around in a blow up Walmart pool with a beer in one hand and a pool skimmer in the other.

I had such a shitty day at work, I had to go out and do some skimmer therapy for a while.

Therapy correctness

Topics which are taboo even in group or individual therapy sessions. Like child abuse, homicide, suicide, race and sex.

I was going to talk about it in group but it would've violated therapy correctness.

fur therapy

When you’ve had a bad day and your cat knows and follows you to bed/jumps on your lap/perches on your shoulder and purrs. This has been scientifically proven to help but is impossible to quantify.

“Ugh, just got back home from work and that yucky manager.”

*opens door*

Cat: *meow*

Who wants to go to bed? You going to bed?

Cat: (runs into the bedroom and leaps on the bed, and meows)

“Alright, there you go”

Cat: (proceeds to make biscuits)

“At least I got fur therapy”
