What everyday objects become surprisingly challenging to use...

Things like drinking cups really don’t work - neither do hard glass bottles. You have to force the liquid out by squeezing the container and drinking the liquid through a straw..

I’m sure there are plenty of other things.

Toilets are notoriously difficult - if I recall correctly, there is something like a three day training course for astronauts to learn to use the ISS toilet before they fly there.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

For some other things - the astronauts have to use a seat-buckle - for example, typing on a regular keyboard gradually pushes you backwards until the keyboard is out of reach.
