Lyrics

What is a therapist?


A therapist is someone who helps you with your feelings and your emotions


Did you have a lovely shower?

Dissociating for an hour

Did you swirl all of your "bad vibes" down the drain?


You're not empathic, you're an addict

To a cliche brand of sadness

Evidenced by my existing in your brain


This is not how we agreed we would talk to ourselves

What would Jackie say?


She'd say

You're doing really well, and you've come all sorts of far

I see that you're still struggling to not be way to hard on yourself

But it's a process, no one's perfect

And you still get points for trying


Okay! So it's a work in progress

But we have a lot to work with

(That's a euphemism for my rolodex of issues)

Like my codependent, anger-ridden, hypocritical, no boundaries, abandonment, avoidant power complex


This is classic oversharing

Hey, what else is new?

But I'm working on my self-talk and it goes like this


Oh, you're doing really well, and you've come all sorts of far

I see that you're still struggling to not be way too hard on yourself

But it's a process, no one's perfect

And you still get points for trying

As long as you're trying then you're


Find me a therapist who calls me on my bullshit

But who does it really nicely

And who also takes my health insurance


Dissociating in the shower

Plucking petals off of flowers

Or writing cringey songs about your illness


These are all valid ways of coping

When you're waiting on a list

With folks like me who need to see a therapist


What would Jackie say?


She'd say

"You're doing really well, and you've come all sorts of far

I see that you're still struggling to not be way to hard on yourself

But it's a process, no one's perfect

And you still get points for trying"


One, two, three!

You're doing really well, and you've come all sorts of far

I see that you're still struggling to not be way too hard on yourself

But it's a process

No one's perfect

And you still get points for trying


Yes! I see you trying


And then I'd walk out crying but

Only on the inside

'Cause I still bottle up my emotions


Yes, you do
