(Actually now with PhD, but Doctor of Philosophy just doesn't have the same evil ring, does it?)Some clients are just hard to figure out. Some, I'm not even sure why they are attending sessions. Maybe just to talk some things out, or just to have human contact, or...I don't know.
When a person doesn't even have a particular thing they wish was different about their lives or themselves, theirs can be a difficult case to approach: "...a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma..." (Wrapped in buttered bacon, no doubt.)
A friend working in a multinational setting stated, "I thought my client was alexithymic. After a while I came to realize he's just Scottish." An anecdote with a very narrow target audience.

It made me laugh, even before I looked up "alexithymic."
I can't even tell you how that makes me feel.
I couldn't wait to tell this to my piper friend, and of course, it made him laugh too.
