Therapist I know once told me that she always tries to tailor her advice into a form her patient is familiar with.

With a fanboy she'll talk about Star Trek shields and Superman kryptonite.

With a musician she'll talk about harmony and tempo.

Great communication but I'd be curious to hear about the times it didn't work or even backfired.

I think therapists would have some great standup material. Their drinking sessions would be fantastic
