What do you get when you
cross a therapist and a comedian?
A Therapedian! I was talking to my 11-year
old-nephew about my starting to do stand up and he
looked at me and said, "Hmmm, you are a therapist
and a comedian, that makes you a therapian!" I
thought that was very clever and use it at the
start of my act.
In the summer of 2008 I took an 8 week course at
a local comedy club doing stand-up comedy. I have
always used humor in my presentations, workshops
and even in the therapy room at times to help
people cope with some of their issues.
As many of you know who have read my books and
articles and listened to me at my talks I was
raised in a very neglectful and abusive environment
where there was little affection, love and
nurturing.
The one good thing that did occur from my family
was lots of humor. That is, perhaps, the most
positive thing I recieved from my childhood and it
has served me well today. I find humor in almost
all of my own personal struggles as well as in the
most difficult life situations.
Given all of this, I hope you will watch my
comedy act and take it in the spirit it is meant. I
hope it makes you laugh. I have more coming as I do
various clubs in amateur night shows. Watch the
