One serious post about a therapy bombshell led to a viral meme as people competed to invent the most absurd things a therapist could say. The trend went from criticizing those who weaponize “therapy speak” to pop culture references to shouting out other memes all the way to meta-memeing in four days flat.
Featured VideoThe therapist brick meme started with a tweet by @Iamivy05 on August 18 about a real therapy moment. The post gained over 19.6 million views.
“my therapist said this to me, and it hit me like a brick ‘if it drains you, it’s not for you. love, friendships, jobs, anything meant for you will nourish you, not exhaust you,” the X user wrote. “if you constantly feel depleted after being around someone or something, it’s not aligned with your soul.”
AdvertisementThis is pretty good advice, but probably the only tweet that starts with “my therapist said this to me, and it hit me like a brick” that you should take seriously. The rest are just jokes—especially the ones with therapists advising clients to commit acts of deadly violence. Therapists aren’t supposed to do that.
Plenty of entries clearly reference recent discourse about those who wield therapy speak like a cudgel or even make up fake therapists to defend their bad behavior. The best memes, however, get downright absurd.
