    It’s a very select group of individuals who can pull it off. My friends tried and was sent on their way within 10 minutes. Unless the therapist is just interested is cashing out on the prank it may not go as intended

      Getting therapy isn’t easy on this side of the pond either from what I’ve heard, but it’s possible

    The therapist would probably care little, you are still paying them. Maybe they would even try to see how long it takes you to notice that they already know and just doing it because they keep getting money

      As a therapist, I would immediately notice, but would instead use the opportunity to work through their need for attention from strangers and why they use pranks and humor to hide their true emotions. They’re still paying me to help them, so I would. “Why do you feel like you need the excuse of a third person to dare going to therapy?”

    “I don’t even know you. You’re not the man I married 5 years ago.”

    Alright ladies, my insurance will totally cover this 1x per week for an in network licensed family therapist,

    Cause this sounds like a very good use of that benefit. You wanna talk about improved mental health. This will do it
