We found all the best therapist memes that will make you legitimately LOL
In words we never thought we’d write, therapist memes are taking the internet by storm. Twitter is having too much fun imagining various self-deprecating scenarios where they disappoint their therapists, and the results are both legit funny and, okay, yes, #relatable.
While it’s no secret that therapy is still highly stigmatized, society is becoming more accepting of it. And we take it as a good sign that discussing therapy experiences (real or imagined) has become more commonplace as to literally create viral memes. It seems that many people on the internet no longer find discussing therapy taboo—and they’ve learned to have some fun with it, too.
The meme format is fairly easy to recreate. The therapist asks you why you feel a certain emotion, you respond with something…we’ll say “unexpected”…and the therapist flat out says no. The results are downright hilarious, of course. And, we’ll just admit, we’re feeling a little dragged by some of these.
Here are just some of the best therapist memes we could find.
therapist: and what do we say when we feel like this?
me: so no one told you life was gonna be this-
therapist: no
me: *quietly clapping 4 times*
