She said she wanted to say goodby in person *with her son there too* because he was a big fan of James. James said no, because he was done owing favours to fans. She congratulated him on achieving his therapy goal and let him go!

It's really not. Most people end therapy over messages because endings and saying goodbye is difficult if you've been seeing them for a while and relationship built up.

Therapist here :) It's largely considered unethical practice to end therapy without a final session to provide closure to the therapeutic relationship and reflect on the experiences and growth of the client throughout therapy, especially if it's been a long-term relationship, but if the client wants to end suddenly it is totally their right to, and she could've worded her reply better as to not shame his way of going about it.

Actually, it is recommended to end therapy gradually and to have this "good bye" moment. Relation with your therapist is part of the therapeutic experience. It all depends on your specific situation though.

Plot twist. It was always about the money

Lol Sandra just wanted one more 500 dollar session

As a counselor, I'm guessing that this was actually her attempting to keep him engaged in therapy, thinking she had a better chance of convincing him to stick with it in person than over the phone.

What worries me, a wimp, is that James didn't change Fletcher's name, so not only is he crying because Claud* cancelled his broadband, but now everyone knows he's been crying!

This clip is so short it doesn't do the therapist's craziness justice! She goes on to be REALLY wierd and inappropriate

A lot of people here seem very willing to shell out a lot of money and time to say goodbye to someone they’re paying to talk to

I'm happy to see alot of heartwarming logic in the comment section. It should absolutely be made fun of to businesses, who try to guilt trip you for leaving; but, it should also not be frowned upon to make sure you meet properly to say goodbye.

You make my day Claud, brilliant laugh!! 😂

James Acaster is so fucking hilarious but for the life of me if you asked me to describe why, I'd be at a loss. He just is.

Therapist of 17 years. There is unending training in ethics about making sure a person is safe and informed of their options when they end services. Also depending on what someone is seeing me for ( or their historical presentation) this could be a red flag for safety. That being said my typical response if there’s no safety concerns is to thank them for the time together, inquire if they would like any additional resources emailed to them and to remind them they’re welcome back if they want in the future ( if indeed they’re welcome back).

Always a treat 😊

Fletcher cried when he learned he was named Fletcher.

A termination session is quite common and good practice to set up practices to know when/ if to know if you should keep assistance again.

Before judging the therapist, please scroll down to Anna Hall's comment to get the rest of the joke In a nutshell, the therapist was doing a great job 👍

The only thing this joke needs is "Changed Fletcher's name as well"

Am I the only one feeling sorry for Fletcher the supervisor?

I've been seeing the same therapist for almost 3 years now and I'm hopefully nearing the end of my 'treatment' so we discussed our future last session a while back. We made a deal that for our last session we'd get mojitos together at the local mexican place. Can't wait! :)

Broadbast not only will message you if you leave them, they wont even have a chance of doing it because theyre worried your sudden dropping of them is a warning of suicidal choices.

Funny enough if you try and cancel your Spotify it tries to send you a playlist of songs to make you feel guilty for leaving them. Then proceed to send you multiple email asking if you will come back. I’ve had break up with less hassle 😂

I’d love to cancel my therapist. But then I’d probably get fired.

Just tell her, "sure, but I'm not paying for the session," and see how quickly she changes her mind.

James acaster has never tried to cancel cable service America. Customer Retention is convinced hat you have something, and that two hours of phone tree forwards and questioning will change your mind.

That sounds like the plot to an adult film or perhaps I've watched too many vids on 18+ websites.

I feel like Claude has made some good progress.

You’re not spilling your guts out to the phone company, that’s why.

Ha! She wants to charge him another $100 to say goodbye. Or try talking him out of leaving.

Oh so the session where I come in and do this face to face is free? No? That’s what I thought

Well, the phone company doesn't care if you are mentally okay, or having some kind of a break down. She was a good support but for the wrong person maybe :\

good ole quaaludes acaster

I wish I was as funny as Acaster. He's just so edgy!

I once engaged an therapist who claimed to to have developed a successful unconventional treatment for my chronic health problem. After quite a few expensive sessions I wasn't feeling any benefit and told him that this would be our last session. He immediately turned nasty and said "I've cured you, so if you're still experiencing any symptoms it must be some kind of neurosis. Clearly you want to be ill". And he literally handed me a card for an equally expensive psychotherapist... Jame's lady was pretty innocuous compared to that!

the therapist texted you that because you are seriously messed up and need her

Sounds like she wants one more billed hour! Lol

Please someone tell me that the joke continues "I changed Fletcher's name too" Comedy comes in threes it must

If that's the response you get to cancelling you either A. Are paying a shitton of money for someone who charges for the privilege of leather chairs or B. You're not done yet, lmao

He's obviously never had Comcast 😁

Not gonna pay $100 an hour to say goodbye

the issue is it can be jarring for you can even be a therapists policy to have one session to debrief because therapy is obviously extremely personal and closer in any relationship (even one that you seem to view as strictly professional) is important -yes i do realize this is stand up just thought it should be explained
