I've never had a therapist provide a chaise lounge. Is that not a thing anymore?

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

If you do therapy remotely and have access to a chaise, it could be!

You're expected to bring your own. Have you not been doing that? Awkward...

Usually (ime) it's just another cumfy chair like the one she's sitting on. Never had a chaise longue, nor have I ever seen one. Maybe 100 years ago, but nowadays it's a cartoon thing.

He’s a groundhog, and it shows the date as Feb 2nd, which is Groundhog Day.

Also Punxsutawney Phil is the name of the famous groundhog as part of the tradition.

I thought it was a very small bear

OK groundhog day, that's very specific to USA.
Don't know how it became a soul thing though.

The groundhog is in therapy, the joke is that therapists want to talk about deeper trauma (tell me about your childhood, etc) because people's issues are rarely superficial.

The use of soul instead of say "the shadow that lies within you" is an odd choice, I'll admit.

I'll give you a winter prediction: it's gonna be cold, it's gonna be gray, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life!
