Real Good. Real Advice.

You need a therapist. And if you’re going to have a therapist, you need to say stuff to them.

So rather than getting nervous, try these 9 helpful suggestions.*

1. Wait a minute. You mean it’s PREscription, not PERscription? You mean we’re thinking ahead with this stuff?!

2. I wouldn’t say paranoid schizophrenic. I’d go with something like CONFIDENT schizophrenic. (Hey doc, make sure my paperwork reflects that.)

3. Let’s just say … I tickled her cerebral hemispheres.

4. Gaslighting? No, I take Beano. And even if that failed, I would never use a lighter.

5. I believe the clinical term is “delulu.”

6. Cognition? No no no, I put them in the IGnition.

7. CBT? My bad, I thought you said CBD. (CBT = Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBD = Cannabidiol. Vurrrrry different.)

8. You know what rhymes with medication? Dedication. And that’s exactly how I’m gonna be with these pills.

9. Thank you, Doc!
