Real Life Bad Therapy Sessions That Were Very Memorable

The Most Vulnerable Time

I was working surveillance one night at a psych ward, keeping a close watch on a mentally ill patient. Right before my shift started, I was briefed that the patient had started eating one of the lightbulbs and went for a nurse.

At around 5 am, he woke up and saw me sitting there at the end of his bed. I said good morning and he didn’t reply. About 15 minutes of silence went by before he stood up and stared out the window. 

Then he made the most bizarre remark: “a person is most vulnerable while taking a poop.” I didn’t sit back down for the rest of my shift. Story credit: Reddit / Sigouin
