Do Psychologists Have Hidden Cameras In Their Offices

Hidden Camera Blog Post

I don't know what to make of this – It's like my clients are talking amongst themselves.

Is there a memo going effectually that I never got my hands on?

Or worse yet, did someone have a hidden camera installed in my office that I am not aware of?

How is this happening?

It was i those weeks just a few weeks back. I don't have to wreck my brain to remember that information technology was at least three different couples who walked in with THE exact same outcome that week.

What was it, you ask?

Driving.

What? Driving?

Yes, that's right – Transporting themselves (and/or other family members) from location A to location B. And how that acquired problems.

For some of them it'southward been happening for decades. For some, the annoyance was brand new.

And I am not talking almost the 'My wife drives me nuts' kind of driving.

Only to be clear.

Nope – 2 wheels in the front, two wheels in the back (let's non get besides technical about it).

Hidden Camera – How driving comes up in therapy sessions

Question Driving

See for yourselves.

Exhibit A:

"He drives too fast, I am not comfortable with it.

And it's because nosotros leave tardily everywhere go.

Heaven forbid we would ONCE make it on time.

And not take to go 20 miles over the speed limit.

Information technology's our KIDS in the back seat, for crying out loud!

Don't you get that?

And don't even get me started on all the speeding tickets you lot got merely in the last couple of years.

It'southward like the older you lot get, the more risky and stupid you behave."

Subconscious Camera – Exhibit B:

"Going from i common location to another, I told her when we would get at that place.

She was on lath with it. All is well.

We had plenty of time.

I know how to get in that location.

And notwithstanding, the whole style down, she keeps pointing this way and that, telling me what to do: move into this lane.

We'll get there faster if you take this exit.

At this fourth dimension of day, lane X is unpredictable – we should have avoided this whole route to begin with.

Yous never drive this during traffic, how would you lot know?"

Hidden Camera – Showroom C:

"This is sort of an emergency, you would agree, right?

Nosotros are driving the mother-in-law to the ER, she is not feeling well, she can barely breathe – Mind you lot, we don't know what's wrong.

She is sitting in the back seat, literally semi-unconscious.

And she (read wife) insists on driving.

I am telling her, she is in the right frame of listen to drive.

It's similar driving herSELF to the ER.

But she doesn't mind.

And so, we take a blood-red plow where there is a NO Plough ON Cherry sign.

I ignore it.

I know she is stressed out.

I don't say anything as she is speeding off at 75 mph on a 55 road.

Only then, what broke the camel's back – She takes a left plough on a crimson light through two lanes of traffic.

And I lose it.

I offered to bulldoze.

I offered to call an ambulance.

I fifty-fifty said we could but get a cab – but then we don't have a manner to drive back home.

And then, instead of being supportive, at-home and nerveless, I am freaking out and yelling at my wife until she drives herself and her mom to the ER, and I drive the car into the parking garage."

With the last occurrence, before they are even done telling me what happened, I literally express joy out loud. (And of course, I let them finish.)

And, so as non to make things awkward, I tell them why.

They express mirth with me.

In that location must have been something in the water.

What are the chances? Correct???

Hidden Camera – Yeah or NO?

And so, we talked through it.

We looked at what was driving them 🙂 into this. And, nosotros did a feedback wheel, like I ever do in a state of affairs like this, remembering to focus in on two things:
