Today's exercise: "The Chair of Infinite Regret."
Client was unable to complete the task, becoming overwhelmed by the existential implications of chair-ness.
Recommendation: "Try to focus on the chair, just the chair. Don't think about its purpose, or its relation to the furniture industry, or its potential for IKEA-ification."
Client: "But what about the chair's feelings? Does it feel trapped, like it's just a chair in a vast, existential void?"
Therapist: "Client, we're not here to psychoanalyze the chair. We're here to help you deal with your own feelings about the chair."
