My therapist does role plays with me. I do an I'm-okay act, and they do a baker act.
Could you elaborate on this a bit?
Yes. It's a play on words. Therapy can sometimes use role plays. In this role play, I was acting like I was okay, which implies I wasn't okay. The therapist, at face value, seems like they acted like a baker, which doesn't make sense. However, the thing is that a "baker act" is when a therapist places their client in a psych unit against their client's own will because the therapist believes the client is a considerable threat to their own safety. In the case of the play on words, the therapist saw through my "I'm okay" act by noticing that I wasn't okay and put me in the hospital.
Does this help?
Yup, that's where I thought you were headed, but also thought I was overthinking it.
