[NHS, Therapy, - + !?] 

Holy hell

I'm trying, really, really hard to read up on the local NHS's uh, favourite therapy, without immediately slipping into snark mode, as I tend to quite easily.

Around here this brand is a super common recommendation from NHS psychs. It's got some serious funding pull (local bloke, so no mystery).

But.. Outside of the immediate region, I just get blank looks from people when I ask about it. So. Why not see for myself?

I was a fool. I have regrets.

There's only so much snark one bat can contain, we're in full-on "Pepsi Gravitational Field" country.

And if you think that's hyperbole then buckle the heck in, friendo, cuz it's 8:30am and I got nothing better to do

I keep my cool! Some people are bad at Powerpoint. Like. Really, really bad. Maybe it's just tha-

..Oh. Evopsych. ..That always bodes well.

And we plunge headlong down the rabbit-hole at about this point.

I.. Words have failed me by this point

(To be fair, no one even told me "Go be a zebra" was an option, so I'm still reeling from losing out)

As always, Talking Heads have my back on this one.

re: [NHS, Therapy, - + !?] (last one) 

I suppose when you get this far into in "Hideo Kojima Boss Monologue" territory, the only way out is through, huh..?

I'm done. I'm gonna go.. Eat, then try to chase up the NHS on (happily, unrelated) things.

@pastelbat ...okay it might not be the thing I thought.
Uh.
Wow. That’s more ???? Then anything O_o
