The worried well

My various projects are getting so jumbled now, I almost don’t know where to post new work. I suppose this is a good thing.. the intertwining of creative inspiration and all that..

I’ve had some searchers find the TT blog by looking for “the worried well” and end up checking out my Therapy Map project. Well hurrah for that, but it doesn’t really do the fellow justice.

So here he is.

For the uninitiated, “the worried well” in terms of psychotherapy is a kind of vaguely disrespectful term for people who don’t have any major emotional problems but just see a therapist as a lifestyle choice.

Here’s the more generic Collins dictionary version:

Worried well n (Medicine) Informal the people who do not need medical treatment, but who visit the doctor to be reassured.
