The Staff Shares Its Shrink Troubles
The Staff Shares Its Shrink Troubles
Howard started off the show saying he belittled his psychiatrist yesterday and was starting to feel bad about it: “He told me to bring my anger into the room and I said, ‘Ok. Here’s my anger and I’ll direct it at you’…I’m just a horrible person and I’ve come to the conclusion that I should quit therapy.”
Artie said he was also struggling with his shrink: “I can remember anyone’s phone number. It’s weird…but this guy I gotta keep looking it up. It’s like I’m fighting it.”
Howard referenced the shrink Robin used to see: “Did she quit you or all therapy? I have a feeling she just quit you.”
Robin claimed the woman quit completely – and then revealed she’d been replaced: “I do talk to someone. A counselor. I’m not telling you who…she’s a doctor. I’m not in therapy but I have someone I talk to when I need guidance.”
Howard asked if the woman was a life coach, but Robin denied it, saying the woman was a psychologist: “I use her when I need her.”
Later, Robin repeated: “It’s not treatment.”
