Bunny — On The Couch With Sigmund Freud.
Every Year and after Easter, our little bunny finds himself back on the couch, utterly exhausted, with the same compulsive problem — having hidden eggs again!
Every year, dear old Sigmund Freud tries to help bunny get to the bottom of his neurosis. His file has even begun to bulge with all the notes from bunny’s troubled concerns.
Freud suspects his problem may have started way back in bunny’s childhood. Bunny knows this to be true. He has come to realise that even when he was tiny, he was inclined to hide eggs.
Bunny is also beginning to grasp that this behavioural pattern may have developed from his parents. You see, they also hid eggs at Easter time. In fact, they still do.
Freud thinks that bunny is making good progress.
Bunny is discovering when his problem may have started.
He is beginning to understand that he may never stop hiding eggs. He is also starting to accept that his pattern of behaviour is part of who he is.
And slowly, bunny is recognising that he can control how he goes about hiding the eggs. He can also choose how many he wishes to hide and which to hide.
You see, bunny has finally and correctly concluded that therapy isn’t about change as such, it’s about understanding then acceptance, after which comes choice.
Bunny suspects that, as he has begun to gain a better understanding of himself, he may have come to the end of his sessions. He admits he may miss dear old Sigmund, but life must go on. After all — Easter is over, for this year at least.
