Have no clue whether therapist knows about poker.

doesn't matter, they know about addiction

make sure you don't say stuff like, "i usually win and feel good, but when i lose i feel like crap until i play again and i'll kill a few kittens too"

This is coming up soon. Parents are pretty strict/conservative types so you know how it is. What should I say to convince therapist that there is no problem with me playing poker as I am winning money from it and get a lot out of it mentally. Hope to get a few serious answers...

Anyone been in this spot before?

Wow. I'm also in this exact predicament. Are you also 34 years old, and occasionally "borrow" mom and dad's credit card?

[kkcountry]

my therapist is a 60-something year old lady and gets that pokah =/= gambooling, it's pretty awesome

[Jailblazers]

Lol, if I "borrowed" moms and dads credit card I wouldn't really be able to make a case.

I'll take keikiwai for $400.

Talk to her about how ridiculously overbearing your parents are, that they won't let you play a little poker. Make sure she knows its small amounts, you win, and your dad often touches you inappropriately and no one says squat about that.
