How Our Obsessions Manifest


One day, some young mothers and their small children, attended a group therapy session conducted by a Psychiatrist.  The Psychiatrist started by saying, "We all have obsessions. And they manifest in some of the things we love, do and or say."

To demonstrate his theory, he asked four volunteers for the names of their children. He then proceeded to analyze their obsessions. To the first volunteer, he said, "You are obsessed with eating, so you have named your daughter, Candy." Turning to the second volunteer, he said, “Your obsession is with money. That is why your child's name is Penny."

And coming to the third volunteer, he said, "Your obsession is alcohol. And this has manifested in your child’s name, Brandy."  At this stage, the fourth volunteer took her little boy by the hand and whispered to him, "Come on, Dick. We're leaving here."
