DSM-LOL: A Parody Manual For Therapists: Diagnostic and Swearistical Manual – 6th ish Edition eBaydiy Tools

Because sometimes the therapist needs a diagnosis too.

DSM-LOL is a tongue-in-cheek survival manual for clinicians, grad students, and mental health professionals who have officially passed the “I can fix this with self-care” phase.

Inside, you’ll find a collection of completely unnecessary but deeply relatable entries — including classics like Chronic Boundary-Setting Ambivalence (a.k.a. “Sure, I can squeeze you in at 7pm on a Friday”) and favorites like Recurrent Note Avoidance, the condition that strikes daily.

But this book doesn’t stop at fake diagnoses. Oh no. It also includes:

🔮 The Therapist Horoscope Guide — finally learn what your sign says about your treatment style, documentation patterns, and likelihood of developing Perpetual Supervision-Seeking Disorder.

🐐 How to Start a Goat Farm When You’re Burned Out — because apparently everyone in this field threatens to quit therapy and move to a farm at least once a quarter.

Equal parts hilarious and painfully accurate, DSM-LOL is the perfect gift for overworked clinicians, new grads, seasoned pros, and anyone who knows the true diagnostic criteria for burnout includes “fantasizes about becoming a barista.”

Because laughter is therapeutic!!
