Therapy is a serious business, but like comedy, there is a place for cracking a smile. According to an old adage, “comedy is tragedy plus time.” I can’t say that is a perfect formula, and tact is always a wise and thoughtful prelude to a joke, or holding back from offering one.
The pictured statement above my paragraph might be something a counselor would think, though he probably wouldn’t say it. Below are more pieces of advice and observations on the human condition.
You will get a big payoff at the end if you can tolerate the F word:
Now for the payoff. Uncle Noggie is a brilliant man who can tell you the truth and make it funny at the same time. Here, he offers eight valuable insights in “Three Years of Therapy in Sixty Seconds.” Don’t miss it, but don’t leave counseling. He is kidding, but on target.

This is all great! I especially like how to dress for cold weather and the 3 years of therapy in 60 seconds. Thanks for the chuckle.
You are welcome, Erin. A change of pace from what I usually write. Glad you liked it.
Uncle Noggie is a wise person, and hilarious! I think the George Bernard Shaw is my favorite 🙂
We could use a few Uncle Noggies around, Deb. Glad you enjoyed an example of Shaw’s wit. Many thanks for commenting.
The Wynne things have been going lately, not only are we the lunatic asylum, but they lock their doors when they pass by our planet! 😉
Too true, Tamara. You hit the target. Shaw would be proud of you!
😂 – thanks for the short and sweet therapy session, much needed in this current political climate!!
When you applaud, Susan, I know I have reached the right place. Thank you!
Oh my! Thanks for the grins this morning, Dr. Stein. I’ve gotta say…the science teacher and the swings had me LOL-ing…but not as much as the first message. Truth in that warning sign….yes, yes! 😉😉😉
Boy do we need that medication, Vicki! Not just because of the person we are talking to, either. Thanks, Vicki.
Thanks for the laughs, Dr. Stein 😀 It makes living in this lunatic asylum so much easier.
Thanks, Rosaliene. I should do this more, given the feedback. I will try. Keep the faith!
Oh my goodness – what a fun post, Dr. Stein. I especially love the why science teachers don’t get playground duty one! Thanks for the therapeutic dose on this Monday morning!
Happy to give you a laugh, Wynne. Yes, laughter is a a wonderful thing. May the rest of the week give you some more.
These are hilarious, Dr. Stein, the last one in particular. Now I understand what happened to me with my first girlfriend in college. 😂
Thanks, Edward. Your secret Is safe with me. As to other readers…
