Real Life Bad Therapy Sessions That Were Very Memorable

Just Part of Our Ecosystem

I work at a residential group home. We had a kid admitted four months prior who admitted in a family session that they had parasites. I felt incredulous.

The mom went, “Oh yeah, our whole family has them. We don’t believe in getting rid of them since they’re part of our biological ecosystem,” and I was just dumbstruck.

We spent the next three weeks convincing the family it was an infectious disease concern as other residents had fecal eating behaviors and many other unsanitary issues that could cause a unit spread.

It was three weeks of education, planning, and, worst of all, convincing the kid and mother that their IQ wouldn’t drop. Story credit: Reddit / Hollow_Comment669
