Banarama therapy

Friday, 29 May 2009


The longer I work as a therapist, the greater the need I see for everyone to have a soundtrack. Take Bubble Gum, for example. She knows herself at a deep and meaningful level and now she has found the music to match, Venus by Bananarama (yes, Lane, the music you unconsciously LOVE lol).

The lyrics speak of the ultimate goals of therapy, to feel like a

"Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love"

As we walked home from seeing clients yesterday evening (no, she's not in the room with me while I see clients, that would be ridiculous) we worked on a dance routine for this theme. It goes like this:

squat, squat, wiggle, shakey hair, shakey hips and jump. You want to do it too, I can tell. Well, don't fight it. What's the worst that can happen?

I like it that Bubble Gum is niether narcissistic nor grandiose,

"Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man a man
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no-one else had
Wa!"

This is fact, not just fantasy or conjecture.

If you were to have a theme song like Bubble Gum, what would it be? Go on, tell, tell, tell. Even better if you have a dance routine to match.
