My new therapist says “yeah buddy” every few sentences

and he calls me “young lady” 😬

I would not like the Yeah Buddy thing, that is for people who have walked your path and know the troubles of it. And then the young lady thing seems a bit grandpa Ish.

No, I want heard and actually conversed with not catch phrases. that is just me. 27 years of combat training and combat leaves me with little patience for not being heard.
That’s good some therapist bang their clients so it’s good he’s polite n has boundaries. Some clients also try to seduce their therapist so it sounds like he’s defusing the potential for such as per his training. Hope sessions are good.

Well young lady, you certainly have had an interesting life, yeah buddy, you have shown that you are tough, resistance and a great fighter, yeah buddy, and you have set a great example for your child.

Now you just need to improve at the 3 things we talked about and I'll see you next week, yeah buddy.

It was nice to see a young lady like yourself improving their life.

My father used to always call me buddy. Your therapist sounds respectful though. Do you like him?

@itsok It’s worth a shot for sure! You can always find new therapists too if that one doesn’t work out. Young lady, I think you’re making good choices.

@Reject yeah buddy 😌

Hmm I'd say as long as he could offer me affirmations, tips, or an ongoing healing plan, I could overlook the hey buddy.. ✨
Mine always answered a question with a question, and NEVER answered a single one of my questions...

(My parents forced me to go)

So I asked/begged them to quit or find someone else, they said no...

I admit, I started lying to him...

He kept asking my why do I think this or that... and I tried extremely hard, but I ran out of answers and kept telling him that, he kept trying to get me to tell why I thought that was and I had no freaking clue...

I needed a back and forth, not a mirror just asking me to answer everything

@sstronaut I’ve been through a lot of therapists that weren’t right for me either. I feel like I have to stick with this one to see if I really can’t make it work because he’s specialized in something that’s hard to find a therapist in
@itsok If it works for you then that's great, yeah buddy lol
Not sure if he's just an old dude trying to be relatable across generations, or what.
Peculiar.

Play it by ear. You'll know if, or when, it's time to see somebody different.

@SethGreene531 I’d say he’s around 70
@itsok My relative had one around that age. Very experienced, very effective, but he spoke the same way.

@PepsiColaP Easy there buddy
@CountScrofula try again but with young lady and I'll reconsider
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
@PepsiColaP Young buddy is the best I got

I don't think I could be okay with that.
itsok · 31-35, F
@Starcrossed I’m very unsure about it. This was only our second appointment together

Try responding “That’s a big 10-4 we got there!”
itsok · 31-35, F
@Pfuzylogic I feel like he’d love that
Pfuzylogic · M
@itsok Then I would buy a VCR tape of Smokey and the Bandit for the holidays.

Odd feller 🧐
and he calls me “young lady”

Call him "daddy," just to see what happens.
Degbeme · 70-79, M

@Degbeme yes, papa

JRVanguard · 26-30, M
Those seem to be at odds with each other tbh
itsok · 31-35, F
@JRVanguard it feels like talking to my dad, and not in a good way
JRVanguard · 26-30, M
@itsok “I’m feeling pretty bad today”
“Nice to meet you ‘feeling pretty bad today’, I’m dad”
AuRevoir · 36-40, M
Sounds like you need to adept an old English accent into those conversations…
AuRevoir · 36-40, M
@itsok I blame me for doing that long ago… I caused a fault in the world that day, and now it shall haunt you wherever you go..
itsok · 31-35, F
@AuRevoir I’ll never forget it
