Recovery Monday

Otherwise known as Bank Holiday Monday for us Brits.

When your boss announces that a Bank Holiday Monday is coming up or you notice it on your calendar you proceed to contact your mates to arrange a massive party or pub crawl for the whole weekend, this will result in mass injury to the brain and liver forcing you to spew your guts up in your bed or couch the next day in an attempt to regain your perception of the world. This day is called recovery Monday.

Recovery Monday is a safe haven from the stresses of every day life and when announced you can't help but feel relief and anticipation for a good weekend free from the burdens of your job and the daily grind.
Man 1: Bank holiday is coming up!

Man 2: Recovery Monday is in order I think.

Man 3: Let's have it large you bunch of cunts!

Man 4: Oh no, I've got to go on a picnic with the wife and kids on Monday...

Man 1, 2 and 3: Don't forget to pack your tampons you pussy.

recovered memory therapy

A discredited form of psychotherapy which typically:
1. assumes that childhood trauma (usually sexual in nature) is the basis of most psychological symptomatology;
2. assumes that people who have no memory of such trauma have probably "repressed" it through some arcane and undemonstrated psychological process, blocking it out of their mind completely;
3. assumes that it is necessary to "recover" these "repressed" memories in order for healing to occur;
4. assumes that methods known to produce false memories, such as hypnosis, guided imagery and EMDR can be used to produce accurate recollections;
5. often assumes that "flashbacks" and body memories are signs that the memories recalled are accurate, because of the mistaken view of the therapist that memory is "like a video tape recorder" that permits playback.
The "recovery" process often recommends cutting off contact with people who question the memories, including but not limited to family members who deny that the events so recalled in fact occurred. Recovered memory therapy is a major source of false memory syndrome, and has led to numerous false allegations of 'Satanic Ritual Abuse.'
"Whilst undergoing hypnosis as part of recovered memory therapy, Sally remembered being forced to kill and eat a baby she had given birth to after her father had raped her. The fact that she was found on medical examination to be an intact virgin suggested the likelihood of false memory syndrome."

Homework Recovery

Homework Recovery; trying to regain time management skills and homework knowledge. Is caused due to long periods of procrastination, seasonal breaks (i.e. Winter/Summer break), and a subject with a significantly decreased amount of homework for a period of time (i.e. reading a novel then switching back to a textbook).

Homework Recovery is incredibly hard to reach and can take up to months. Can also resort in severe lack of knowledge which often leads to failing quizzes/tests. Projects as well suffer from Homework Recovery.
You get your project done?

Oh shit, that's due tomorrow, isn't it?

Yeah. Haven't you hit Homework Recovery yet? It's February.
