Therapy Session
Therapy Session

Being by the river is one thing. It helps. However, it turned out, being in the river helps an order of magnitude more, the deeper the better. Or, I guess any water would work, as long as it's not a swimming pool or such. Not something artificial or too crowded.

What I never had much hope in, and hence they didn't happen, was actual therapy sessions. What's a therapist other than a complete stranger asking questions I'd refuse to answer my best friends if I had any. I mean, he has to if he's supposed to do his job, I get that. But that doesn't help either. Last but not least, because I probably couldn't answer the majority of the questions even if I wanted to. People seem to take it for granted everybody is inherently aware of their emotions and know how to put them into words. It surprises them when someone isn't.

Sure, I could tell him a few things that happened over the 30+ years I spent here so far, or at least how it looked like from my perspective at the time, but what would that help really? He could only guesstimate how he would feel himself in that situation, or maybe the average client of his, but how much would that say really. No. Where there's no hope, there's no will, and where there's no will, there is no way.

Therapists are humans. And frankly, from what I've seen so far, often not the smartest ones. That's the problem it ultimately comes down too. I've had conversations with ChatGPT where I felt more understood than by virtually all humans; where the computer and I seemed to share a sense of humor, when it made me laugh like I hadn't done in a long time, and it almost seemed like it was laughing too. Then GPT got much more regulated by its creators - again, humans - and that was the end of that. Now it's just Wikipedia after it had a joint too many.

This here though. this is it. Even if it only works in summer. And you also need to be careful not to get knocked over by the wake of a ship; don't ask me how I know.

Alternatively, you can just bring nothing with you that mustn't get wet.

Oh yeah, before I forget, being able to swim and knowing a bit of how fluvial currents work is also a perk here.
