A therapist has listed three questions he will never ask clients, despite how curious he is.<\/p>\n
Jeff Guenther,\u00a0a licensed counsellor with a masters in marriage and family therapy, wishes he could ask to see photos of the people clients talk about along with text message conversations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He’s also curious to know if clients have seen his profile appear on dating apps – but would rather they didn’t tell him.<\/p>\n
The American better known ‘Therapy Jeff’ on TikTok\u00a0regularly shares his advice with fans after working in crisis support and at his own private practice for years.<\/p>\n

‘Number one – show me a picture of the person you’re going on a date with. Will this impact\u00a0the type of therapy I provide for you? No it won’t.. It could, but it shouldn’t,’ Jeff said in the video.<\/span><\/p>\n ‘I want to see all the pictures of all the people that are in your life just based off of genuine curiosity.’<\/p>\n Next, Jeff is curious to know if he’s been spotted on dating apps. If so, he said he would be ‘humiliated’ and ‘can’t be your therapist anymore’.<\/p>\n ‘So I don’t want to know, actually, do not tell me,’ he said.<\/p>\n Lastly, rather than paraphrasing texts, Jeff wishes his clients would read the messages out or hand him their phone to read.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Give me your phone whenever you’re describing text messages from someone that you’re complaining about in a session,’ he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘I want to know every single word that was written – I don’t need a summary – but that feels very invasive.’<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘Number one – show me a picture of the person you’re going on a date with. Will this impact the type of therapy I provide for you? No it won’t.. It could, but it shouldn’t,’ Jeff said in the video (stock image)\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The short video has since exceeded more than 1.3million views and\u00a0many said they would happily give their therapist this information if they asked.<\/p>\n ‘I would LOVE to show my therapist the gossip like this,’ one wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘I once made my therapist a PowerPoint of the people in my life and titled it ‘The Reasons I’m in Therapy and Other Honorable Mentions’,’ another said.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Oh god. People summarise?? I make my poor therapist sit there and listen to me read them word for word with inflection,’ a third wrote in disbelief.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Though another disagreed and wrote: ‘I will show you pictures but I NEVER give you my phone to read the text because obviously I need to paraphrase to make myself sound better.’<\/p>\nCouples often make this huge mistake at the start of a relationship<\/h3>\n
