A Patient’s Guide to Keeping the Therapist’s Attention

Antidotes to Your Shrink’s Falling Asleep During the Therapy Session:

  • Insist that one of your other personalities already paid last month’s therapy bill.
  • Lie down under the couch. Express concern that you are not narcissistic enough.
  • Bark.
  • Shout “Eureka!” after your therapist makes an interpretation.
  • Play dead.
  • As your therapist hands you the therapy bill, put on a pair of latex rubber gloves to accept it.
