If they can’t handle baby level memes like this they’re not cut out to do anything other than teach suburbanites basic emotional regulation. Which like, there’s a need for that. But the average therapist isn’t going to be deeply disturbed or anything like that, they spend classroom time studying how mental health issues distort your perception and thinking. Usually not via memes, but this is just the picture book version of showing a therapist your journal.
Edit: also, the fear that your therapist will ‘fire’ you or otherwise react badly if you are completely honest about your mental health is something to discuss with a therapist, too! It’s a really common fear and they should be able to address your concerns.
