Countertransference

February 27, 2026

A Christian, a Taoist, a Buddhist, and a Therapist walk into a bar.

The Christian says “I’ll have a beer, something that would make my father proud.”

The Taoist says “Anything within reach is fine, so long as it flows smoothly on the way down.”

The Buddhist says “A mocktail please, filled half way, with equal parts citrus and sweetener.”

The Therapist orders nothing, listens with solemn respect, and is later found dead from alcohol poisoning.
