I was working with Phil yesterday. Phil is in his mid-forties. He lost his job a year ago because of some unfair things they did to him. He is living off some money his mother gave him when his unemployment ran out. His brother is upset that he is taking money from his mother. Phil is angry at his brother. His brother has a good job, so what does he know.
Phil was about to look for work but then his girlfriend got angry at him because his apartment was a mess. She didn't realize how much he is suffering without a job. He can't clean his place because he is depressed. She isn't depressed, so she doesn't know. Now he is upset with her so he can't look for work.
Phil was going to sue the place that fired him, but he went to a lawyer and the lawyer wanted more details about what happened. Talking about what happened gets Phil upset. The lawyer should realize this and make it easier for Phil.
Phil comes to therapy and tells me to tell that everything he feels is normal. He is fine, but other people have been mean to him. As soon as they are good to him he will get a job.
I hit him in the face. It was very therapeutic.

And then you woke up.
Kidding aside, yes it does work sometimes. For whom though? :)
HA HA HA HA HA...I love the ending of this one....I'll bet you want to do that sometimes, though....
hee hee! sounds like a professional victim.
Since you could be using fake names I can't be certain, but I think Phil might be a distant relative...I've heard that song and dance before.
heh. poor guy. i know what he means. my mom was endlessly persecuted by every boss she ever had. and boyfriend. and husband. and....
(sometimes, she really was. and sometimes, she drove the bus to Persecution City all on her own.)
