old fashioned therapy - the classics

5 Replies

I spend time in England when i was 17 and realizd their therapy was meeting people and comrades/friends over a pint- how brilliant-

so im returnig to the classic therapists at a local cafe..the kind waitresses who have the best people skills and hassle no one.....i get to hang around people and get some peple essence and some have liked my work which is amazing.....in additon to my friends here....we dont compete but really is a celebration of just nice people in a world of crows, mean people and many others telling us ....this is the approved lists including some doctors and therapists........these are correct values the correct way of talking and saying things etc.............forgetting that some may be sailors, contractors and horsemen.........meaning in a democracy why are tohers telling us their values not in sharing but we recommedn this v that.........very unsettling to me. That doesnt happen a t a pub or true friends..........its not my place to tell someone they cant make beer or painting is better than puzzles etc..........

so....back to the point- the therpist waitresses are like the peole here and luna- very good listeners, heard it all, kind and nice........not like some ***** doctors and even some** nurses who power trip etrc. if yu dont say it right or have the right values.........(my heresy was wanting to go in the military and having a horse bakground which they all assume your rich and spoiled.............ya 12 phD in cleaning......tottally of the mark and give u a hard time).....im enjoying my new therapists at Dennys and they have been very kind and accepting......let me sit and paint......and dont treat me like a homeless guy etc......and tell me to get lost in an hour.....they never call the police like so many do......

just sharing to all the lonely people out there if u can afford coffee- might try the local cafe and just soak op all thereal cousnelors......real people............so nice.......ahhhhhhhhhhhh..

thank u to all the kind pople here.

Alas our cafes are still only take away for now.... it’s one of the things I truly miss, sitting in a cafe quietly reading, writing or just listening to the chatter of others over coffee. Sometimes there’ll be some banter with friends who happen to pop in or with complete strangers who’ve chosen to strike up conversation. I go for those cafes that don’t play music etc... luckily there’s 3-4 in our small town who do not pipe noise at their customers 🤗 and I can remember places I’ve visited, some times by the cafes I frequented.... R.J. Julia’s in Madison CT stands out as a fab place which I frequented when living over the pond in the 90s.

Thanks for sparking some lovely memories Brig..... guess where I’m off to when the UK lockdown eases??

All the best

Did someone mention ☕️☕️

So many people form nice friendships in coffee shops. They set a time and whoever shows up they hang around and enjoy each other's company.

Nice place to go if you feel lonely

The pub is great therapy Brig57 and lots of us are really missing our opportunities to meet up in this way because of lockdown restrictions here.If you have the opportunity to mix with others covid-safely then I think it's a great thing to be able to mingle with others who understand and support your vibe and your work in this way.

Doctors and nurses have their place. They are the specialists so that tends to make them idealistic. It's not always so easy as they portray to live up to the medical ideals which might make us live longer and better. (I think they know that lots of their advice falls on some very deaf ears. That must be frustrating for them at times, but they too are human beings with their own frailties, I guess, so I always at least pretend I will follow their sage advice). 👍

Coffee shops are banned at one point for insider trading . Hope you get the pun.
