Imaginary Therapist o_O

[DudBomb]

When I am trying to fall asleep, I find my "self-talk" talking as if my therapist was in the room. It's a one sided conversation. I end up talking to my imaginary therapist, about talking to my real therapist, about talking to an imaginary therapist. I am not sure if it's therapeutic, or if it keeps me from talking about certain things with my actual therapist, because I've already talked to my imaginary therapist.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had this same experience. Don't worry, I have already talked to my imaginary therapist about posting.

No.
But when I was younger, I would have a voice in my head that narrated my tantrums. It was extremely frustrating and I would bang my head on things to try and make it stop.

I just refer to the process as tidying up my mind, and it's not confined to bed-time. It doesn't bother me though, I do find myself endlessly fascinating.

When I'm up, 89.3% of the time I'm focused on something, and my mind is blank 24.95% of the time.

I laughed as your profile states you're self-diagnosed as well and were probably helped to realise you were on the spectrum by your imaginary doctor, imaginary neurologist and therapist, etc. Joking aside, welcome to the community. You'll be valued here.

I think it unlikely that the imaginary doctor and imaginary
Therapist agree.....

HA! That is funny.

Well, I hate therapists. They have done me more harm than the person who beat me up and left me to die. THey really have. I hate them.

I did talk to one in my head when I had one.

I do talk to people all the time in my head. I don;t know why. I never have real conversations with people.

Yes actually I do this too. I play out discussions in my head talking to someone like a doctor about problems or areas of interest in my life. I don't know what good it does really, I don't get any answers from it, obviously. It's not even really helpful in a sense of preparation since these discussions never happen with a real professional. I don't know what it does really. Maybe it helps me digest thoughts or something?
