You're a Barbie girl in a Barbie world. Life in plastic is fantastic! Unfortunately, your life is not in plastic. Much like Barbie, you've reached many accolades. You have a cute apartment and a nice car. You long to feel confident and secure. You have your Ken. Your Ken gets treated much like Barbie's Ken. When you lack control, you feel afraid. You don't tell people that you're afraid. Perceptions are then made that you are mean, aloof. You can be referred to as the naughty word that rhymes with itch and witch. You get the idea. No worries, though! You are in the right space! You are a Barbie. I'm Therapist Barbie!
