User rambles about moon and wolf tribute before refusing to discuss father with therapist

This image is a screenshot of a text tweet from X (formerly Twitter). It features a short relatable comedy skit format: the narrator first shares a whimsical, esoteric personal belief that the moon controls ocean tides and human psychology, and that wolves howl at the moon as a tribute to it. When their therapist attempts to shift the conversation to discuss the narrator's father, the narrator immediately and bluntly replies with 'no'. The joke relies on the common relatable experience of people readily discussing random, niche personal beliefs in therapy but actively avoiding uncomfortable conversations about personal or family trauma.
